Thank God for one more day. #thanksgiving
Two real options on the table. Both could work. Both have shadows. Pray for clarity rather than certainty — I keep waiting to feel sure, and the feeling isn't coming. Pray for the wisdom to choose wit…
It might be nothing. The doctor used the word 'probably' and the word 'most likely' a lot, and then scheduled three more appointments. I held it together through the consult and cried in the car park …
We didn't tell them how stretched we are; they wouldn't accept the help if they knew. Pray for sufficiency for everyone. Pray for me to do this without resentment, even on the months when it is hard. …
Pray for me to hold the boundary without it eating me. Pray for my child too — that they don't carry shame that doesn't belong to them. And pray for the person who hurt them — not because they deserve…
It was not the year we imagined. We had two job losses, a small loss in the family, and a long stretch where we both just survived next to each other instead of with each other. Pray for the second y…

We had the conversation last weekend about hiring a part-time helper. It did not go well. They feel managed; we feel scared. Pray for the next conversation — for softer language and for us listening b…
Pray for calm, the right questions, and peace either way. #work
My father has been in and out of hospital for six weeks now. Each time we think we are at the corner; each time we are not quite. He is tired, more tired than I have ever seen him. My mother is quietl…
It was tight all the way to the last day. We had a quiet dinner of rice and eggs and we were grateful and a bit shaken. Pray for those still walking through scarcity. We have been there and we will be…
I keep replaying it. Pray for me to lay it down without dropping the boundary. There is a version of forgiveness that is just self-erasure and I don't want to do that. There is also a version that hol…
Mum starts the next round of chemo this week. Please pray for strength, kind nurses, and good rest in between. #healing #family
We saw him work so hard. Thank you for praying. #thanksgiving
May help reach them quickly. May they not feel alone.
May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.
Three years almost to the day from the diagnosis. The doctor said the word 'remission' and I think I said 'thank you' four times before I could pull it together. I am not the same person I was three …
Pray for sufficiency and for peace.
Praying for honesty and courage. #marriage
Pray for a warm welcome. Nervous in a quiet way.

Pray for patience, humour, and hugs that still get accepted.
May help reach them quickly. May they not feel alone.
It still doesn't feel real most mornings. I open my phone to text her about something silly maybe twice a week. Then I remember. Some days I am okay. I work, I cook, I laugh at a thing on the radio. …

We just hired our fourth person. Each hire is a small leap of faith. Pray for the right people in the right seats. Pray for me to lead well — to set a tone of high standards and high care. I have work…
Three weeks in, we finally got the full story out of him on Sunday night. He had been carrying it alone, which is the part that breaks me the most. We meet with the school on Wednesday. Pray for the …
