Miracles That Take Too Long

December 10, 2019 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

Miracles (Far) Ahead

Certain aspects of parenting can leave me depressed, angry, worried, and afraid. So I pray. And pray. And pray. And pray. In three out of the four primary situations this year, I’m still praying. That doesn’t feel like success. In fact, I’m pretty sure 25% is an abysmal score on most grading scales. This was […]

October 3, 2017 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

Social Media as a forum for Public Debate

I’ve been using social media for a decade now. I can still remember some of my first posts, where I wrote stuff like, “Going to Target now. Gotta get some milk.” Wow. So profound. Or how about this one: “Just got back from picking the girls up for school. Now begins the homework rush.” Yeah, […]

The Great Unanswerable

June 16, 2014 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2

The following was originally posted in 2013, two weeks before a young friend died of cancer. Heaven gained another young woman this past weekend, when a missionary family here in Nicaragua lost their daughter in a freak accident. God used the situation to remind me of His challenge last fall and that it is still […]
