How to Rise Above Disappointment

June 6, 2018 by Kathleen Bolduc

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. (Psalm 118:1) These are the first words I read in my devotional book this morning as I sit on the beach, alone, disappointment hanging over me like a big, black cloud. I watch the waves ebb and flow, leaving rainbow-flecked foam in their wake. I want to give thanks to the Lord, but disappointment makes thanksgiving almost … [Read more...]

Every time I sit down to write about this unwelcome guest my brain turns to cotton candy, words get stuck in the gummy mess, and a blinking cursor on the computer screen sings nah-nah-nah-nah-nah.

I’m unable to sense his promptings and overall presence as I search for answers to my special needs questions: Father, why?  Why does my son have autism? Okay, God, I'm sure you've got a plan.

We Had Nothing to Do With It

October 10, 2013 by Kathleen Bolduc 1 Comment

…We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God, who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it. But we know it now. Since the appearance of our Savior, nothing could be plainer: death defeated, life vindicated in a steady blaze of light, all through the … [Read more...]
