Triggered to Transformed
Have you ever been triggered by something your spouse did or said? There was a season in my marriage when this was happening often to me. It was almost like my husband knew just what buttons to push to send me over the edge… and he pushed them. Not intentionally, of course… We’d inevitably end […]
Today!
“I don’t want to be done being single” “Beth!” said my friend, appalled, “I can’t believe you just said that!” For years, I had spoken to this friend about my desire to get married. I longed for a husband and children, and I finally had plans to go on a blind date in just a […]

This move, made with good intentions, wreaked absolute havoc on […]
