"Thank you so much, Susan. I needed this desperately at this season as I face and negotiate various boundaries associated with a Ph.D. dissertation, not to mention my personal life. So little seems to encourage me these days, but your article did. Thank you. ..."  read on » ]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 08:09:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/reflections-lessons-on-faith-and-trust#com1762 Reflections: Lessons on Faith and Trust

"Susie, Ann, and Chandra, I am enjoying "listening in" on this conversation between the three of you--each one of you a friend from the different seasons of my years with InterVarsity...."  read on » ]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 09:25:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/pushing-boundaries#com1755 In Focus: Pushing Boundaries

"Dear Susie, Your story is beautiful and touching. It is an inspiration. We all have our boundaries. What an instruction on our response. Keep writing. ..."  read on » ]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 21:25:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/pushing-boundaries#com1754 In Focus: Pushing Boundaries

"Chandra, Your comment really blessed me. Thank you for your candor. The Lord must so delight in you. The last line of your note is so powerful and radiant. I sometimes wonder if our efforts to "pretend like everything is okay" when our hearts are broken, delays our experience of grace? (I don't know.) We do what we do to cope. Our coping and mourning takes different forms, and your mourning as a mother is true and real. That makes your hope that much more precious. Hope on. Hope on. Hope on. You also are a much-loved child, treasured by God. Blessings to you in your journey. You are not alone, Susan ..."  read on » ]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:04:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/pushing-boundaries#com1752 In Focus: Pushing Boundaries

"Chandra, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your loss. I don't think we've ever met, but I heard about your pregnancy loss last year -- and I know the heartache that comes with miscarriage personally. May God fill your heart with his true and lasting hope!..."  read on » ]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:49:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/pushing-boundaries#com1749 In Focus: Pushing Boundaries

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Today marks two weeks away from what would have been our due date, and I so needed this encouragement. I'm grateful to be reminded of a true and lasting hope, not just a false hope that tries to pretend like everything is okay. Lord, help me rejoice in the boundaries you have lovingly placed before me!..."  read on » ]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:22:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/reflections-the-good-life#com1747 Reflections: The Good Life

"Thank you, Kathy for sharing your dream. I live far from the University life I think I would love, sharing my husband's ministry in a suburban church. But God has opened surprising doors, including one to do a radio program where I interview people from Sam Harris to Bob the Tomato on secular stations about what you believe and why you believe it. I've fretted and whined over my schizophrenic life. So bifurcated between life in a very family-focused ministry (that I love being a part of, but feel like I'm not always a great fit) and writing, speaking and radio hosting using my Master's in History of Ideas and Aesthetics. Recently I sensed God sitting me down and saying, stop whining that your life lacks a wholeness of focus. I've called you to both. Enjoy both. How many people anywhere get to read great books and talk to interesting people for a vocation? Isn't it bizarre how our hyper-romantic expectations of "fill in the blank" can sabotage the joy of the romantic realism of our Kingdom posts? What a relief when God opens my eyes to the weight of glory in my moments and days. ..."  read on » ]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:06:00 -0400 http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/well/resource/protecting-your-sister#com1746 Being a Good Brother: Protecting Your Sister

"Kate, What's great is that there are many godly men doing this. I know because I work with them and worship with them, and hear about many others. I can't help but dream of increasing their numbers and changing the false reputation of Christianity as being oppressive to women. What a powerful witness to the gospel for a male colleague to consistently speak up for respectful and just treatment in a work place. ..."  read on » ]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:27:00 -0400
