    How to Stop a Meltdown Before It Happens 

    ByKatherine Wisniewski

    What leaks out of you when you’re under pressure? This morning, I saw this question in a social media post and immediately felt God’s conviction. Just two days ago, I found myself standing in the kitchen yelling at my husband over something small and ridiculous. Within minutes, I was crying, hugging him, and asking for his forgiveness. Afterwards, I told him I wasn’t even sure why I got so angry or upset. I had all these feelings, and they burst out of me like a volcano.

    Six Ways to Find Peace in the Storm

    ByKatherine Wisniewski

    Maybe it’s just me, but I thought that once I became a Christian, my life would be easy and trouble-free. After all, the Bible promises us peace. However, it never portrays the Christian life as a bed of roses. After all, even roses have thorns. Biblical peace does not mean the absence of problems. However, peace can be found in the presence of God. Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, NIV  emphasis added). We can find peace in the storm and become overcomers when we rely on Jesus.

    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.

    Finding God’s Peace When You’re Overthinking

    ByKatherine Wisniewski

    “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, resent your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians…
