Christie Lambert is a small-town, southern writer who is daily amazed by the love of God. Although she loves fiction and has published a few short stories here and there, her writing is now focused on sharing the grace of Jesus that has swept her off her feet. She is usually doing laundry for her three small kids and musician-husband, drinking (too much) coffee with her sister, and reading while cooking (not recommended for those who like edible meals). She is currently obsessed with learning how to play the guitar and finishing her degree in Religious Studies. Christie can be contacted at christiedlambert@gmail.com.
Christie has written 33 on Christian Women Online.
This is a day… (maybe you’ve had a day like this before?)… when I wake up feeling sad. No particular reason, no specific thing wrong… in fact, everything is normal. Everything is fine, but my heart is heavy and my eyes quick to fill with tears at the slightest little thing gone wrong. Emotions are [...]

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” Matthew 5:7 Mercy is pure mystery. If grace is the place where God’s love and justice meet, then mercy is the medium that transforms our lives into offerings pleasing to the Father. He is the Master Artist, our Father God… and with mercy, He molds [...]

Her eyes search the crowd. She wonders at the way they follow casually, some eating chunks of bread, some laughing at a newly told joke, some gossiping about the man and his miracles like he is a million miles away instead of right within their midst. Have they not heard? Have they not seen? Can [...]

She holds hope steady, most days, careful with every step. She keeps it close, far from eyes that would condescend, words that would weaken the flame of maybe… of some day. For she is the story heard too many times. Sympathy runs out, she has learned, and the hopeless are pushed aside. It is too [...]

My mom’s reaction when I asked her how things had gone went a little like this: “Those kids want a snack every three seconds! Snack, snack, [...]

We are told that the world is unraveling. We are told that the economy is unstable, diseases are without cure, depression and anxiety more prevalent than ever before. We are told that there is no guarantee of safety, no guarantee of provision, no guarantee that a new disaster won’t befall us when the new day [...]

I am thanking the Lord this evening for the springtime finally arriving in Kentucky in all of its “God blessed” glory. I think it may be all the sweeter for having arrived late. I n these fresh days, I find myself singing for no reason, and there is energy in my outer and inner self ~ it having been AWOL most recently.
Father, you know me completely; You provide the things that draw music from my heart, and You give me the needed attitude to praise in joy; You comfort me by Your Holy Spirit in “off-times.” You meet my need in all seasons, and I worship You gratefully in the twilight of this day.
I thank you Jesus, for lavishing your love on me. In all the seasons during the year, and in all the seasons of my life, You are with me.
The epitome of Spring:
Songs of Songs 2:11-13 “Winter is passed; the rain has stopped; flowers cover the earth; it is time to sing. The cooing of doves is heard in our land.”
Ah Father God, thank you.
