hurting women
SHAKING IT UP!
Apr 21st
I want to let you in on a secret: things are changing around here!
You may remember when I first established the ministry eighteen months ago it was born out of my desire to encourage women in their faith as they faced their own life struggles. In fact, the foundational verse of Comfort & Compassion Ministry (CCM) was 2 Corinthians 1:3-4,
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the More >
FIRED UP!
Aug 18th
Angry. So angry. Not at anyone in particular, or even at God. I was just furious at life and how it was turning out.
My childhood dreams didn’t include gut-wrenching endless pain. I never set out to be crippled. My bucket list never came close to this.
Few people seemed to grasp the severity of my illness. Everyone seemed so carefree and happy. While my peers shopped for adorable Easter outfits for their children, I was at home gasping for my next breath.
Offense came easily. Patronizing comments bothered me the most: “Do you have good days and bad days?” No, More >
BIBLE STUDY: GOT QUESTIONS?
Jul 2nd
PROGRESS, PROGRESS, PROGRESS!
We’re continuing on in learning Homiletics. If you’re joining us for the first time be sure to check out the first lesson here. Also, don’t miss some great Bible study tips. I’ve heard from several of you that homiletics is transforming your personal quiet time with the Lord—awesome! That’s exactly what we want to happen: a closer relationship with Christ.

Meet my friend Jessie Corse. We both attend the same church in Texas and we’ve gotten to know each other through women’s Bible study. Jessie recently started a blog and asked me to guest post at This Blessed Nest . I hope you’ll take a moment to stop by and leave a few comments.

LYING STILL IN A BED OF FLAMES
Jun 1st
I am so weak that I can hardly write,
I cannot read my Bible,
I cannot even pray,
I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child, and trust.
Hudson Taylor
Lying on the couch, every joint in my body rigid and on fire, I learned what it meant to lie still in God’s arms. I couldn’t move without igniting vicious flames deep inside my bones. Bible study was out; pain numbed my brain and prevented me from making sense of words. My prayers, once integral to a beautiful relationship, were reduced to “God, help me.” My spiritual life was reduced to More >
