These past 9 months have been stressful!
My husband & I rescue dogs. In March we rescued Abby a hospice dog: blind, deaf, heart murmur. Badly deformed arthritic legs make it hard to walk. She needs help . A week later Rocky went into kidney failure. Her treatment requires giving sub cutaneous fluids every other day & hand feeding her 3 times daily. More fluids = more p*e breaks day & night. We have 2 other dogs.

I have little time for my own tasks. Every 15-20 minutes I take someone out to p*e (Abby needs 20-30 minutes each time), clean up after someone, feed them, give them meds or treatments, & a lot more.

I still run my own company & this fall was one of the busiest ever. I have a house & 2 acres of land, run a women’s group at church, work out every day & care for my husband who has a serious health issue. He just started a treatment plan which I administer every other evening. My day begins at 5:15 AM & I work non-stop till 8 PM, 7 days a week. I’m overwhelmed, physically exhausted & cranky. So I prayed to God for relief. Send some help Lord!

There is no one who can help me the way I need. I’m in this alone. Just me & God. I chose not to ask God to change anything to alleviate my stress. That would be the easy way. What I needed was patience. A lot more patience! And a change in attitude. “Remove from me the grumpy, Father, & restore a kind & gentle heart.” That’s all I need. Just the inner tenderness that is Jesus. And that’s precisely what God granted me. He replaced my stress with understanding, my anger with compassion, my hopelessness with confidence & renewed strength. My situation remains constant but now I’m handling it with greater ease.

We don’t always need our lives to be different than what they are to be ok. Sometimes all we need is the peace that is Jesus to sustain us through the trials. I asked. He answered.

Then God offered me an added blessing: a simple solution that saves me 1 ½ hours a day! I’m still tired but the stress is gone. Thank you Father. You always come through for me. You have my heart forever.

Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".

From my recent marriage retreat:
People often say that marriage is a 50/50 partnership, that each person must contribute ½ of what is necessary to make the marriage strong. Still others espouse couples must each apply 100% of themselves in order to achieve a happy relationship. Yet oftentimes this is not the case. One may be more invested in the relationship or have a greater ability to give more than the other. The risk with any imbalance is that the one putting forth greater effort may experience discontent or resentment.

But imagine if couples stopped keeping score? What if each simply gave what they were able to or wanted to? What if each party elected to be content with and appreciate whatever contribution was put forth by the other whether greater or lesser than theirs?

As with salary, typically one earns more than the other; with chores or child rearing one often handles more of the day-to-day responsibilities. For many, these imbalances in duties cause friction, arguing, and a breakdown in the relationship.

Yet if each person simply appreciated what the other offered rather than tallying every effort and task to be certain all were distributed equitably, there would be less disappointment and anger. Couples would then be free to spend their time enjoying one another and experiencing more loving moments.

In no way am I suggesting that either spouse allow the other to take advantage of them. Some aspects of any healthy relationship need to be discussed and negotiated. I’m merely suggesting that spouses refrain from tallying contributions and simply allow the relationship to progress naturally.
Stop keeping score. Be gracious and kind with one another. And grateful. Always. And in all things.

Ephesians 5:33 “However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”

Yesterday I presented a communications workshop for couples at Notre Dame of Mount Carmel Church in Whippany, NJ. At 1:19 AM I received this beautiful email from a couple who purchased a copy of The Secret Side of Anger. I am always humbled by such testimonies and so honored that God has entrusted me to share my story and His Word with others. Thank you, Father. I will forever live to serve you.

I say this prayer every morning and multiple times throughout the day. The beauty of it is that you can pray one or all three parts. The first is a prayer of thanksgiving and declaration of our love for our Father. The second asks God to guide us in our ways so that we may be more like His Son. And finally we petition God for forgiveness; we profess our sins and flaws and ask God to redeem us so that we may never stray from His righteous path.
You can recite whichever portion resonates with you – short an simple. Or you can avow this prayer in it’s entirety.

“Father God,
Thank you for loving me. I love you with all my heart and soul, and being.

I long to be more like your Son, Jesus, in every way. Guide me, oh Lord, every day, that I may be a reflection of His perfect Love in this world.

And please forgive me for all of my sins. I truly am sorry. Remove from my heart all temptations of wrongdoing and replace them instead with an unbreakable desire to only do your will. Amen.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ.”

Sunday I spoke at a church in NJ. Some parents confided that they were estranged from their adult children.

Long ago I suffered a very long & painful estrangement from my adult children. I prayed to God to release me from this life for I could find no other escape from the pain. But His answer was no. So I prayed instead for guidance & strength. God taught me some of my most profound lessons of my life.

First, He reminded me that they are not “my” children. All creation belongs to God including those whom He entrusted to my care. My role was to care for them in preparation for the specific purpose HE created them for. I needed to trust that God was overseeing every aspect of this experience & ultimately it would prove to be what was best for all.

Next, God wanted something greater from me. He has always been an important part of my life but life can become a distraction from our relationship with Him. I was instructed to pursue a deeper relationship with Him. I accepted. I knew there was a higher purpose to this separation.

Then, God wanted me to release all attachments to others & cling only to Him. He revealed that all I really need in life is Him. In my pain I began to rely solely on Him for survival. He graced me every day with His love & presence; He healed my pain & filled me with peace; He filled the void & loved me in a way no one else could. With Him, I learned there was no actual void, no wanting, no grief. I needed no one but Him & the peace that comes from the intimate bond we shared. The road has been long & painful but the destination is truly rewarding beyond comprehension.

Psalm 34"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted & saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

My life didn’t follow the plans I envisioned. But God brought the clarity to my life that I needed. I gave my life to Him completely & am now able to share my story with others & help them find their way to a personal relationship with our Lord so they too can share in the joy & comfort that is exclusively Him.

We do not need what we think we need. Our circumstances needn’t change in order to be happy. All we truly need is the peace that is Jesus.

I think it’s reasonable to say that most people struggle with loss. Just the thought of losing a loved one, a cherished pet, a prized possession, a job or home can create anxiety and fear even the strongest individuals. We may fervently petition God to intervene and prevent such an event from occurring should it appear probable. After all, the Bible promises us in Matthew 21:22 that “All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Yet there are incidences where it appears God has abandoned us for our petition was not forthcoming. We struggle to make sense of our loss and in some cases believe we will never be able to accept nor fully recover from the pain. We beg God to restore what has been taken so we may continue our lives as planned. When our requests are denied, we begrudgingly accept our fate but carry the misery and suffering with us, in come cases, for the remainder of our lives. In our minds, a comprehensive healing is not feasible without full restoration of what has been taken from us.

What many fail to realize is that life does not need to be restored as it was in order for us to be whole and happy. Loss, pain, and suffering are all essential experiences meant to bring us into a more personal relationship with God. All healing comes from Him regardless of our circumstances. He alone fulfills all our needs if we allow Him. In truth, all we really need is the unlimited peace that comes from inviting God into our lives and our hearts to provide for us all that is necessary for healing and contentment to flourish. 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

His everlasting Peace, not restoration, is all we ever truly need. Seek first “the peace of God which transcends all understanding” (Philippians 4:7) and He will make you whole and restore your joy. It is His will for us.

testimonies:
“You are such an invigorating, insightful, and inspiring teacher and it was obvious everyone in the room felt it!” “You are truly God-gifted!” “You have shown me how to live a more Christ-life by the example of how you live yours.”

Earlier this year, I posted an idea I had for an anniversary gift for my husband. Throughout the year, every time I had a warm thought about him I would write it down: something I appreciated about him, a good feeling I had, a fond memory I recalled. Each one was memorialized on a cube of colored paper and placed into a tissue lined decorated box. Then on our anniversary (29 years today), I’d present it to him as a keepsake of all the reasons why I love and appreciate him.

Too often we fail to notice the small everyday efforts our loved ones perform that collectively weave the tapestry of our marriage. We are quick to criticize and slow to compliment. In spite of his traits I’m not particularly fond of, I much prefer to live in a state of marital gratitude for the beautiful man God blessed me with nearly 3 decades ago.

Repeated expressions of appreciation have the ability to transform marriages and restore any “misplaced” feelings of love and delight which formerly occurred without effort.

I encourage everyone to infuse generous amounts of gratitude into your marriage and be extraordinarily stingy with criticism. Then observe the gradual and lasting conversion from discontent to more fully enjoying the love and joyful bond that initially solidified your relationship.

Had the best night ever! Heard Christian recording artist, Dave Pettigrew,perform live last night in Little Falls. Wow, talk about inspirational! His music is so moving, his personal testimonies inspiring, and his voice powerful and heart-felt! Everything about this concert was perfection! Dave is truly a man of God inserting Scripture into his performance. Thank you, too Dave, for the children your mission helps to foster and for giving us the opportunity to join you in helping provide for the least of God's precious children. I'm definitely contacting my pastor to ask about inviting Dave to perform at our church. Please check him out. You will be joyfully uplifted. davepettigrew.net

I run a women’s spirituality group at my church. Last night there was another event occurring simultaneously. A woman entered my room searching for a jack to charge her phone. “I have a really important video call with my doctor & my phone’s dead!” I’d never met her but offered her my phone. She promised to be back in a few minutes then disappeared out of the room.

Common sense whispered to me: “Do you think that was a smart thing to do? You don’t know her OR her name! You have no idea where she went WITH YOUR PHONE!” Maybe I was a bit over zealous. Sometimes my heart speaks without consulting my head first. My faith wavered a bit but I decided to trust in the goodness of humanity. That’s how I grew up & despite everything going on in our world what I still believe.

My eyes glanced at the clock on the wall reminding me my phone was not in my possession. 25 minutes passed - she burst back into the room. “You saved my life! I couldn’t have gotten my medication had I missed the call. Thank you!” “Happy to help” I replied. “Did you check out my photos? They’re great,” I joked. “No,” she said, “but you got a text from Doug.” We both laughed. (Thank you, Lord, for sending me a woman of integrity.)

I refuse to conform to the fear-mongering that inundates us daily with messages of hatred & division & professes the evils of mankind. I want to live in a world where we give others the benefit of the doubt rather than pre judge them; where we assist strangers in need rather than fear them; where we extend to all the love & light of Jesus so they may know they are loved.

I will continue believing in the goodness of humanity. Wherever I go & whomever I meet I will make one small effort to change how they view the world. I will re-ignite their belief in the integrity, compassion, trustworthiness, kindness & love that is the very essence of who God created in us. Will you join me? One small act, every day. Collectively, we can have a dramatic impact on reshaping & healing our world. Let us not waste another day.
The next time I lend my phone to a stranger I’ll ask their name. After all it is the respectful thing to do.
