Our Journey Through Pregnancy Loss

by Madison Mayberry Hofmeyer
…around, about 6 months after our loss, and found out that both of my sister-in-laws were also due around the same time. A healthy heartbeat at our seven-week ultrasound only helped to bolster my confidence in the pregnancy and we looked forward to our 12-week appointment, after which we planned to share more publicly. I remember walking into the appointment with a gut feeling the news wouldn’t be good, and it wasn’t. Our baby had stopped growing a…

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be the German citizen teaching Spanish at a Christian Reformed college in Northwest Iowa. It wasn’t my plan to be separated from family, friends, and a language and culture I understood and fit into. But it was God’s plan. God used immigration, fir…

Daily Scripture Texts Psalm 42 Zechariah 8:1-17 Matthew 8:14-17, 28-34 I would consider myself a conscientious water drinker, in that I always make sure I’m drinking it. I drink a full glass when I get up in the morning before my coffee, and I carry around one of those travel cups with a straw and count how many times I fill it up during the day. I’m endlessly disappointed that “Drink plenty of water!” isn’t in the book of Proverbs. I am the Quee…

Are they nervous about a new teacher or friends in their class? If so, visit school during an Open House night, or if there is not a scheduled visiting time, ask the school or teacher when it would be convenient to stop by.

If it is necessary to catch up over an evening or out-of-office day, one way to preserve others’ rest is to work on items that do not require immediate communications to others. If you need to write emails, you can write and save a draft to send later, or use the “delayed send” feature to schedule emails to arrive during normal work hours. When a delayed send is not practical, another option is to start with, “This can wait u…

Two parents who devoted a good part of their lives to making sure that I would understand what it means to live an empowered life as Paul writes. They made certain I would not grow up spoiled; instead, they forged my understanding of what is important and clung to what is not only good, but right. My parent’s legacy is one of faith passed down thr…

But, we went with an openness to unplanned moments, and those moments are what we hold on to as our favorite memories. My observations of a few tourists do not define every single American traveler. I am able to compare my experience most closely to those from my culture, and therefore the Americans are placed on the…

Daily Scripture Texts Psalm 85:8-13 I Kings 18:17-19; 30-40 Acts 18:24-28 I shouldn’t bring it up. It’s from another day and another time, and likely has zero reference to church-going as we know it. But one line in today’s reading seems almost oddly cartoonish. The psalmist remembers the Lord’s munificence in years gone by (vs. 1-3), and uses that history as a kind of model for what he’s asking for now, again, in another day and another time (vs…

Why Should Ecology Matter to a Christian?

We can know this to be a correct interpretation of the statement because God needs nothing and thus can have no instrumental use for anything that he has made, and because human beings, at the time the valuation is declared, do no…

When God worked or moved in major ways in people’s lives, he often changed their names to reflect his work. Abram became Abraham. Sarai became Sarah. Simon became Peter. Jacob became Israel. And it’s not only people’s name changes that were important, but often p…

We need Han Solo and Chewbacca to make the jump to light speed, awakening a childlike imagination that truly believes in the force — the presence of God at work in the world. I have nothing against so-called Christian films like God’s not Dead or Fireproof, I just find them shallow. They tend to be didactic, telling us the trut…
