Our Top 10 AAPI Chapter Books

One of my favorite things to do with my own daughters, my nephews, and other little people in my life, is read aloud. As a children's book author and a mama, reading aloud is a special way to share a book with others. I have my own collection of picture books in my library, but in recent years, I've fallen in love with chapter books and middle [...] Keep Reading

On butterfly wings: No Shame in Going Gently

Last month I ran in a trail race called Shadow of the Giants near Yosemite National Park. Through the years, this race has become a favorite to run with my friends. The course winds through the Sierra National Forest. It's always a feast for the senses as we run alongside the giant sequoia trees with their enormous trunks pointing toward [...] Keep Reading

5 myths and 1 important truth about grief

After my husbandโ€™s death, I quickly discovered people had a lot to say about grief. As a young widow at age 37 and mother of three young girls, I was often surprised by the comments. Sometimes they would share their insights in hopes of offering comfort. Oftentimes these opinions were driven by myths about grief that get passed around, rather than [...] Keep Reading

When God meets us in ocean waves

My one request for my 45th birthday was to go to the ocean.  My husband Shawn and three daughters took me to a little beach town along the Central Coast of California called Cambria. I didnโ€™t realize until we arrived that this was the same town my late husband Ericlee took me for my birthday almost 20 years ago.  The memories [...] Keep Reading

A trip to the garbage dump: when God enlarged my heart for mercy

The back of my brown legs stuck to the squishy seat. The air was heavy, ominous perhaps. I was with a collective of Christian college students from across the United States, studying in Central America. We had no idea what we would encounter on this field trip of sorts.ย  Before we could see anything, a putrid smell wafted through the windows [...] Keep Reading

Today we are walking through Psalm 95, a praise and thanksgiving psalm! 
The people thank God for being the rock of their salvation, a great God and high King. My favorite image here is God as our Shepherd. He calls us the โ€œpeople of his pasture, the sheep of his hand.โ€ ๐Ÿ‘ He is a faithful shepherd who keeps His eye on us, provides food for us, and hears our cries even in the wilderness place. What a comfort!
I hope you will take a little time today to listen and read Psalm 95. Join me in thanksgiving and also heed this warning in v. 8-11 not to repeat the past! 
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพHow has God been faithful to you in the past? Letโ€™s not forget who He is and what He has done in our lives!

๐ŸŽ™ In this episode, we interviewed Latasha Ferguson, who is a speaker, writer, podcaster (Overcome to Become Podcast), and ministry leader. Her heart beats for empowering women to do the hard work of heart work so they can get unstuck, overcome, own their story, and live authentically.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ We chatted about how running helped her overcome adversity, modeling a healthy lifestyle for her four daughters, and how to get started if youโ€™re a newbie.
Tune in to Eat Pray Run, Season 2, Episode 8 for more goodness from @latashamferguson anywhere you listen to podcasts! ๐ŸŽง
