Continue reading →: A Little is Better Than NothingSomething I’m trying to get better at as I get over is fighting my “all-or-nothing” mentality. A handful of minutes with Jesus is better than no minutes with Jesus. A quick walk around the block is better than not moving my body at all. Listening to half a podcast is…

Continue reading →: The Risk and Reward of FriendshipFriendships are hard. I have been the one who’s felt misunderstood, and I’ve also been the one who’s held the misunderstanding. I have been the one who’s been spoken to harshly, and I’ve also been the one who has spoken carelessly. I have been the one who was cut out…

It’s definitely a difficult relationship to manage, and I personally know people who have a legitimately toxic or unhealthy relationship with their mother-in-law where frustrations and irritations are absolutely valid.

At first, I didn’t really have a good answer for her. “I don’t know, I just kind of came up with it!” I casually replied.
