I sat in the exam room, staring at the wall, sometimes watching the door, waiting for someone to return and tell me the results of my cat’s ultrasound.

When I had first started co-teaching a Bible study with some other ladies from my church, I had anxiety every time. But, diagnosing the source of my fears, prayer, and the Lord’s faithfulness had dimmed those nerves …
The green-eyed monster struck again. Someone I had known from years ago made it. She got the break I’ve been waiting and working for, and she got the success of my dreams. I wanted to just be happy for this person. After all, I consider her a friend. But every time I saw the reminders of her success, I admit …
