What if I asked you, Do you wish to… What would be your answer? Am I willing to feel tired and keep my closet organizing appointment, that I made on my calendar, instead of crashing on the couch to watch Netflix or zone out on social media? Am I willing to feel loss as I make decisions to let things go? Am I willing to feel scared and invest money (for things like coaching or organizing help) to become an organized person?

For Matt and I, we ended up leaving that large, happening church and eventually started a small home church which has been going on for 16 years now. We’re not “perfect” (um, we’re made up of people which makes that impossible) but we’re growing together, and I’m thankful that we get to walk with one another. Matt and I would love for you to join us on our FAITHFUL LIFE podcast today where we’re sharing more about what it means to “walk in fellowship” with each other and how to enjoy the real richness found in deep, trusting and accountable relationships. Matt and Lisa Jacobson, authors of 100 Ways to Love Your Husband and 100 Ways to Love Your Wife, are the hosts of a weekly podcast to talk about what it means to be a biblical Christian in marriage, parenting, church, and culture.

If you are a woman who loves God and His Word, and are intentional in seeking to love younger women in your life, growth will happen. Don’t assume that a younger woman already has older women in her life. Don’t assume that just because you have overflowing baskets of laundry that you shouldn’t be reaching out to a younger woman. A younger woman isn’t expecting a perfect woman to disciple her.

This wasn’t the “what if my kid grows up and still does not know how to pick up after himself like a normal human being” fear. Jesus, Jesus, you silence fear. At the sweet reminder from my own child, I was proclaiming His greatness rather than sitting with my fear. It is easy to sing songs about this on happy days, “praising Him in the storm” and all that, but there is a gut-wrenching honesty to our praise when we are standing knee deep,  drenched in that very storm.
