A Prayer for America after Charlottesville

August 16, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / prayer, racial reconciliation
2

  Lord Jesus, We need you right now. I know we always do, but I’m very aware of our desperate need at this moment in our country. There’s so much hurt, Lord…so much hate. How we must be grieving Your heart. Yet I have to believe that You can bring good, even from this. Use […]

Praying for US – A Reminder from Across the World

February 1, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / community, prayer

  I received an email from my friend in New Zealand the other day.   We’ve never actually met, but that is one of the blessings I’ve found in our current digital, Social Media world—being able to make friends all over the place, even without meeting in person. I know online relationships aren’t the same […]

After Charleston: How Now Shall We Live?

  It’s been quite the couple of weeks, here in America. We’ve had a historic and divisive Supreme Court decision, my own state of California has passed a controversial law on vaccines, and we’ve been shaken by the sharpest reminder in some time that violent, blatant racism is far from dead.   How are you […]

Praying for Charleston…When There Are No Words

June 19, 2015 / Kiersti Giron / community, faith, prayer, racial reconciliation
2

  I’m not sure what to write, reader friends.   I’d already been struggling to come up with a blog for this week (as evidenced by my lack of usual Wednesday post yesterday), as my mind has been rather occupied with matters other than writing of late…more on that soon.   But now in light […]

Hope When the World is Falling Apart

April 30, 2015 / Kiersti Giron / faith, listening, prayer, scripture

  I know, kind of a depressing title, right? But if you’ve been monitoring the news the past week or so, maybe you understand a bit what I mean.   My heart has been heavy for those in Nepal, with loved ones buried under piles of earthquake rubble…for those in Baltimore, where pain and frustration […]

You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught

    My mom and sister and I finished watching South Pacific the other night. We’d started it a while ago, after I gave it, along with two other classic Rodgers and Hammerstein DVDs, to my sister for her birthday, but with the busyness of life lately we’d hadn’t yet seen the second act. Though […]

Getting Unstuck

May 28, 2013 / Kiersti Giron / community, fun, prayer, writing
4

So, remember that post I wrote about feeling stuck in my current story? Well, it worked—I’m getting unstuck, I think. With prayerfully interviewing my character, getting to know her better, and putting myself more in her shoes. Also letting things be a little harder on her, letting her struggle more. Amazing how that makes a […]

When I’m Feeling Stuck

May 25, 2013 / Kiersti Giron / community, prayer, writing

So . . . I’ve been struggling with writing a bit lately. See? 🙂 I’ve started a new book, and I was really excited about it for a bit. But the last few days I’ve been feeling stuck and less-than-motivated. And only on the third chapter! Oh, dear. But I think I might have figured […]

“Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi. Then what had been spoken through […]

A More Perfect Union

While discussing the presidential debates at Bible study last week, one of our group members mentioned that at a previous election, even his own family members were afraid to tell each other who they planned to vote for. I could kind of relate, for I hoped the other members of the group wouldn’t ask me…though […]
