I learned a lot from my couch.
Yes, it’s true. That awful, ginormous hunk of ugly that is my overly expensive Pottery Barn couch. It’s the color of poop and it sits in my living room as my daily reminder that the things of this world will never satisfy…and will often disappoint.Continue reading “Lessons I learned from my Pottery Barn couch”
I must confess. I’m a bit of a neat freak. Well, what I really meant to say is that I can become a bit of a freak…and freak out on my children… when they ruin my “neat”.

Today’s podcast interview is with the amazingly fun and talented Angela Mercer! We will be discussing the great need for belonging that women have, and the importance of building community around us. Angela currently lives in Komoka, a cute, little town outside of London, Ontario where her and her husband serve as campus pastors at Gateway Church. They have been serving side by side in ministry together for almost 20 years. Angela just really loves PEOPLE. Her heart is for people to really grasp how loved they are by a God who is not distant or angry but is close and in love with His children. She loves coffee, a good DIY project and spending time with her fun loving teenagers Isaac and Michaela.

Rejection. It’s right up there with betrayal. There aren’t too many other more painful vibes that you can feel from people, other than their rejection. I dealt with that pain recently – not rejected by one person, but multiple people. It stings. It causes me to think “Is it me? Am I a loser? Am I unloveable? Does anyone even care?”
