God’s Plan vs. Our Expectations: Finding Peace in His Purpose
ByKatherine Wisniewski January 7, 2026December 16, 2025

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “When am I going to get it together?” I know I have. But the older I get, the more I realize—it’s not really about my plan. It’s about God’s plan.
What does it truly mean to have your life “together”? Is it finding love, building a family, achieving success, being a good parent, or faithfully following God’s calling?
The world may say there’s a timeline for everything. Yet studies suggest most people don’t feel like they have it all figured out until around age 60. The truth is, there’s no magical age or switch that makes everything fall into place. Some people seem to follow a straight path from early on, while others don’t discover their direction until they’ve lived through a few twists and turns. And yet, through it all, God’s plan continues to unfold — patiently, purposefully, and perfectly.

For Unto Us A Child Is Born
ByKatherine Wisniewski December 24, 2025December 2, 2025

Growing up, I was never a fan of classical music. This might be because my stepfather played Handel’s Messiah every Christmas at an ear-splitting level. To clarify, I didn’t mind the words or message, just the type of singing, and the fact that he blasted it so loud. To this day, I can still hear the words “For unto us a Child is born…Wonderful, Counselor” echoing in my brain at full volume.

Mary, A Model of Humility, Faith, and Obedience
ByKatherine Wisniewski December 17, 2025December 17, 2025

For many, the Christmas season is a time of joy, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. It reminds us that God sent His son in human form to save us from sin and reconcile us to Him. But have you ever pondered that first Christmas season? Perhaps it wasn’t exactly filled with joy. I’ve often wondered what it was like for Mary.

Begin Again With God
ByKatherine Wisniewski December 10, 2025November 19, 2025

“The ‘golden hour’, what’s that?” I asked the young woman with the camera. She smiled at me and said, “You’ll see; just watch.” So, I wearily sat on a rock and stared at the lake while I waited for my husband to return from fishing. It was nearing the end of a long, hot day, and I felt lightheaded and shaky. I’d recently been enduring a series of difficult days, in and out of the hospital, due to poor health. That’s why we took this day trip to the lake. We needed a break. However, I hadn’t felt well enough to enjoy it.

The Key to Fulfillment
ByKatherine Wisniewski December 3, 2025November 6, 2025

Have you ever felt like something was missing in your life?

On the surface, my life appeared fine. I had a good work-life balance, and my family was thriving and healthy. Yet, I felt something was missing.

One Sunday afternoon, my husband said, “We’re taking a day trip.” When I asked where we were going, he just smiled. I grabbed a jacket and got in the car. About an hour later, we arrived at a nearby lake. My husband whipped out a blanket and cooler. As we picnicked, talked, and relaxed, I realized what I’d been missing: connection and “being present” in our relationship. It took stepping out of my routine to see how my soul longed to listen, laugh, and love.

Hope From Hagar
ByKatherine Wisniewski November 26, 2025October 28, 2025

Sometimes life is just unfair. People can be selfish, cruel, and hurt us. We go through things no one should have to endure. Yet, others appear to go through life unscathed, as if nothing bad could ever happen to them. It can make us feel frustrated and hopeless.

How to Stop A Bad Day In Its Tracks
ByKatherine Wisniewski November 19, 2025October 21, 2025

We’ve all had them, a bad day when nothing seems to go our way.

I remember reading the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day to my first-grade class. They giggled and rolled on the floor as Alexander struggled through arguments with his siblings, gum in his hair, and a marathon day of difficulties. All the while, Alexander kept proclaiming he was moving to Australia, as if this would solve all his problems.

At the end of the book, Alexander’s mom hugged him and said, “Some days are like that.”

Trusting God To Figure Things Out
ByKatherine Wisniewski November 12, 2025August 19, 2025

We were never meant to figure things out on our own. Trust me, I’ve tried. I am a classic overthinker. I make informed decisions by weighing the pros and cons and determining the best course of action. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out the way I thought they would. So I end up going to God and pleading for help.
