07/08/202507/08/2025 Steph Penny Leave a comment Surviving Singledom

Dating life is full of potential—for better and for worse. It can be fun and it can be risky, and it’s worth looking at both sides of the relational coin. In our last blog, we spotlighted some of the good traits to look for and consider in a partner or spouse. Today we’re focusing on […]

Lazy (in Moderation)

10/07/202510/07/2025 Steph Penny Leave a comment Counter-culturalism, Surviving Perfectionism

In reading Allen Arnold’s deceptively short blog, Operating Below Capacity,* I found what my soul had been looking for. It was invitation from the Holy Spirit to slow down already. I’ve been slowing down for a while now, or attempting to at least. I may be succeeding a little: Arnold’s blog took me about twenty […]

How To Pray for Chronic Illness

26/07/202426/07/2024 Steph Penny Leave a comment Surviving Chronic Illness

I recently had a great experience of prayer. A group of friends came over and prayed for my illness. Guess what? They didn’t pray that I would be healed. They didn’t assume what I wanted. Instead, they listened while I articulated my prayer needs. Then, gently and sensitively, they prayed as the Holy Spirit led […]

The song is about how you can be brave and take matters into your own hands, even though […]

‘It’s a good song,’ he said to her, ‘It’s just the first verse that needs a little more work.’  We were sitting in a semi-circle, me and a handful of other Christian songwriters. One woman had taken the courageous step of sharing her song with us. We were in the delicate process of giving her […]

My Prayer for You

21/05/202121/05/2021 Steph Penny Leave a comment General writing, Survivng Childlessness

There’s a lot of prayer involved in writing.  I pray when I write. It is my prayer that God will use my words, my turns of phrase, to reach people who need to hear from him.  Sometimes, when I write, I sense the Holy Spirit nudging me, prompting me to use certain language around the […]

A Glimpse of Serenity

05/03/202105/03/2021 Steph Penny Leave a comment Counter-culturalism, Worship

I love Jacaranda trees. When I was growing up, one of our houses had a glorious Jacaranda tree in the backyard. Its branches stretched over a large part of the lawn, and every spring our backyard became blanketed in purple.  The sight of a Jacaranda tree still gives me the warm fuzzies. Especially when in […]
