This week, I share a guest post from a subscriber to Singing Christ’s Hope. She wrote this beautiful poem in her anticipatory grief of a beloved friend preparing to meet Jesus face to face. She wrote about our homegoing, our unchanging hope in Christ in every loss we experience in Read more
Today, I share a story from a beloved sister in Christ (who happens to be my daughter), along with our weekly praise interruption of Scripture and song. May He tenderly encourage your heart if you, too, are grieving the loss of a baby or grandbaby. I am so grateful Maggie Read more

Had cerebrospinal fluid leaking been the root of my underlying chronic illnesses over the last 36 years? Only God could Read more
I recently came to our Father with the pain of my suffering sisters in Christ as we live in this fallen world…cancer and chronic illness, depression and anxiety, financial and job pressures, loneliness and losses, death and grief, persecution, pains in motherhood and marriage, constant woundings of others… ”Oh Father, Read more
