Kathy Collard MillerShame Develops from Feeling Alone and Helpless Matthew 26:50-54 tells us, Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” Jesus tells angry Peter to stop trying to protect what God doesn’t want protected. We see the theme of Hebrews 12:1-3: Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Kathy Collard MillerMany times we don’t realize we are feeling angry. We give it other names, other identities. We might blame others. I love this meme because in the situation of someone calling when I want to do something, I can easily justify that they shouldn’t bother me. I justify my irritation and think it’s not hurting anyone.
Kathy Collard MillerJesus was not angry but we may be about our own births and beginnings. After all, sometimes we wish growing up our family had more money, or lived in a bigger house, or we weren’t bullied, or … any number of things.
Kathy Collard MillerI arrived at my appointment for my balance testing with a physical therapist at the location where I’d had my hearing tested. I arrived 45 minutes early for my appointment because there’s so much construction going on. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t late.
Kathy Collard MillerI wonder if Martha, the sister of Mary, was the dependability queen in her town, Bethany. I can just imagine at the Women of the Temple Committee meeting for the upcoming women’s luncheon event, the chairperson asking, “Now who can we get to cater the lunch?”

Kathy Collard MillerAnd whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”—Matthew 23:11–12 As December drew to a close and transitioned into the new year, I found myself spending more and more time alonewith God, seeking Him for clear direction for the coming year. One day as I rushed around the house, trying to get as much done as possible before running an errand for my mom—all the time wishing I could just sit down at my computer and get some much-needed work done—I caught myself grumbling. In a similar but much more profound way, Jesus did the same for all of us when He walked the lonely road to Calvary and willingly hung on that cross in payment for our sins, giving up His own earthly life so we might gain eternal life.

Kathy Collard MillerMy friends! I’m so excited that next month/August, my next book will be published! It’s titled Anger Management–Jesus Style
Kathy Collard MillerI hate the feeling of not being heard. Such a verbal exchange brings feelings of worthlessness and being de-valued–even a sense of danger–like something bad is going to happen.
Kathy Collard MillerIf you’ve ever studied the biblical book of Habakkuk or have wanted to, you’ll be excited to hear about Jean Wilund’s book Embracing Joy as my next book drawing. In Jean’s 8-week Bible study of the tiny book of Habakkuk, you’ll dive into the turbulent world of one of the Old Testament prophets—a world not that different from ours today. You’ll discover how Hababkkuk pushed forward to choose trust and find joy despite the violence that ruled his homeland. With a conversational tone, guiding questions, and Jean’s three-step transformational Bible study method, Jean Wilund makes relevant connections to our life and times. Whether studying alone or with a group, you will experience the same powerful, life-altering truths that changed Habakkuk’s perspective long ago.
Kathy Collard MillerThe conflict between Paul and Barnabas can be disconcerting (Acts 15:36–41). Here’s the account:
Kathy Collard MillerI’ll tell you the truth. I don’t like being thought of as simple. Nor do I like thinking of myself as a scorner or a fool. But the truth is–I am, at times.
Kathy Collard MillerWould you like to have a happier marriage? Do you sometimes feel confused about why your reactions toward your husband seem to discourage him rather than encourage him? Do you sometimes think you don’t understand him at all? If Dana Rausch’s book Shaving Off His Mane: Overcoming the Habit of Devaluing Your Husband had been available early in our marriage, we would have had a happier start and foundation.
Kathy Collard MillerWhen I realized Ephesians 1:5 offers a deeper sense of security, I was extremely excited and grateful.
Kathy Collard MillerShame is a subtle feeling of “not enough” and “never enough.” A sense of dirtiness or wanting to hide can accompany those lies when we are alone or feel lonely. This shame in us can cause us to want to react in anger as a way to communicate “don’t see me as shameful.” Just as we’ll see that Jesus knew He wasn’t alone because His Father was with Him, you and I can have that same assurance in order to fight against the lies of shame.Jesus could have felt shame because He experienced many times being alone and on His own
Kathy Collard MillerOn the morning of October 1st, 1967, at the age of 18 (you can do the math), I heard the good news–the Gospel–that I didn’t need to earn God’s love by being perfect in order to enter heaven. But then I learned Philippians 1:6: “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (NIV). At the top of that page a verse jumped out at me: “My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes” (Jeremiah 16:17, NIV).
Kathy Collard MillerEvery mother at one point or another feels like a hopeless failure but that doesn’t mean God doesn’t have help available to improve her parenting skills.
Kathy Collard MillerFriendships are gifts from God. That may sound very basic but it’s when we remember God orchestrated every human contact we can be grateful even when it’s a challenging connection.
Kathy Collard MillerI’m so excited to feature a wonderful book titled “Praying Personalities.” This powerful book by Janet McHenry examines biblical people’s praying lives, eight different personality theories, generational praying practices, learning styles, and spiritual gifts to help the reader find grace and freedom for her praying life. By providing the Praying Personalities Quiz and hundreds of Prayer Pointers, Janet guides you toward developing your very own praying lifestyle that will sync beautifully with your God-given personality.
Kathy Collard MillerRecently, I felt anger rise within me when my husband, Larry, had promised several times to help me with a computer problem. Although the problem didn’t really affect my work much, it still seemed like I needed help right then!
Kathy Collard MillerWhen I was in first grade, I was challenged to memorize the Twenty-Third Psalm at Sunday school. And being the good little girl, of course I did. But the first verse perplexed me. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” I wondered, I’m not supposed to want Jesus to be my shepherd? I thought I was supposed to. I don’t understand. I didn’t ask my teacher, not wanting to be seen as ignorant.
Kathy Collard MillerPsalm 24:1 tells us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
Kathy Collard MillerThe music ushers the wedding party down the aisle. With a collective gasp of awe, we rise from our seats, beholding the radiant bride glide down the aisle. We are thrilled as she takes the hand of her groom. It isn’t too long before they are declared husband and wife. With joy and anticipation, they return back down the aisle and begin a grand adventure. We know God would ask us for our prayers for them as newlyweds. Here are several ways to bless newlyweds.
Kathy Collard MillerAll of us have read confusing words or concepts in the Bible and wondered, “What in the world does that mean?” That’s certainly the case when Jesus tells Saul, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’” (Acts 26:14).
Kathy Collard MillerI’m so excited about featuring this up-dated book by Jill Rigby Garner. She is an expert about raising children. I highly recommend all she offers.
Kathy Collard MillerDependability is a great quality. But for me, it can be wrong because of my motive. Am I motivated by self-protection or by trust in God?
Kathy Collard MillerJesus may be asking the most intriguing question ever as he talks to a man waiting to be healed. Our initial reaction is, “Of course he wants to be healed. Jesus, what are you thinking? Who wouldn’t?”
Kathy Collard MillerThere are so many ways we can feel weak. With Debbie’s characteristic emphasis on Scripture, practical instruction and inspiring examples, you will increase your trust in our Big God and find more peace, joy, and self-control.
Kathy Collard MillerI was working out at the gym with a friend and knowing it was January, we chuckled as we noticed how much more crowded the gym was since January 1st. Then as it happens every year, about four to six weeks later, the gym returns to its normal level—and we wouldn’t have to wait in line to use the weight machines.
Kathy Collard MillerI’m excited to feature Dawn Damon’s exciting new book, The Making of a BraveHearted Woman: Courage, Confidence and Vision in Midlife. It Is a powerhouse book and the ultimate guide for midlife women (or any age) ready to rise to their design and live brave.
Kathy Collard MillerI grew up in a poor family and my mother saved in an actual bank account all year long so that we could have gifts under the Christmas tree. More than any other time in the year, except maybe my birthday, I felt loved.
Kathy Collard Miller“Exciting” just didn’t express fully how I felt dating Larry as we graduated from high school and began attending college. We’d been enjoying each other’s company for about ten months and when the subject of our different churches came up, it seemed simple enough: “let’s visit each other’s church so that we can get to know each other better.” Sounded great to me.
Kathy Collard MillerNeed more joy? Everyone can appreciate having more joy. I have great news for you.
Kathy Collard MillerOne of the many of Bible verses I most use often is Second Corinthians 10:5:
Kathy Collard MillerSince we can be spiritually blind to how God blesses us, here are verses and quotes about how God blesses us. After all, who wouldn’t want to be aware of how God is blessing them and then be inspired to give blessings to others! We may not be capable of blessing others in all the ways God blesses us, but there are many ways we can. Even if it’s saying “God bless you” after someone sneezes.
Kathy Collard MillerDo you have a habit of looking for the underlying message about who God is within every biblical story?
Kathy Collard MillerI’m so pleased to have the opportunity to feature Holy Interruptions by Debbie Dufek. Her story is an exciting memoir of God’s work, along with an abundance of wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement.
Kathy Collard MillerWhen our 18-month-old grandson Raphael visited a few weeks ago, I loved playing the game of “chase.” But Raphael made a new kind of game, “Chase and Catch.” As I crawled on my hands and knees toward him, chasing him, every once in a while amidst much giggling, instead of running away from me, he would stop, and peek over his shoulder, waiting with giggling anticipation when I would reach him and tickle him. It was the cutest thing ever!
Kathy Collard MillerFor instance, after the honeymoon we may think, “What I loved about the way my husband communicated with me before the wedding is now really irritating.” These initial discoveries are only the beginning of God working to help the newlyweds understand their spouse can’t be their total source; only God can be. _____Yelling _____Frowning _____Rolling your eyes _____Asking, “Why would you feel that way?” _____Saying, “I can’t believe you think that.” _____Not supporting his right to dream big _____Being dissatisfied with the level of sharing he gives _____Telling him to think realistically A. _____No name calling _____No raised voice _____Right motives _____Firmness _____Want best for your husband _____Desire his repentance _____Not wish to hurt him _____No expectations of a particular response _____Willing to forgive _____Pick the best time _____Choose place with least distractions _____Prepare what you will say: write it out, practice it _____Eliminate unrealistic expectations _____Admit your wrongdoing _____Don’t exaggerate or threaten _____Stay on the issue; don’t drag in other issues _____Don’t use absolute words like never, always, all the time, every day, constantl 13.
Kathy Collard MillerI’m very pleased to be able to feature Candice’s book because it offers a unique perspective that all of us should know about: how to respond and encourage a missionary who has returned from the field. For many missionaries, they experience misunderstanding, criticism, and other discouraging responses. You and I don’t want to be in that group of people. Rerouted can prepared all of us with wisdom to build up these servants in the Body of Christ.

As is common in many stories in the Bible, the written account doesn’t declare whether a choice is wrong or right, only what occurred. We don’t know if God directly commanded the midwives to disobey the Egyptian king. We only know they “feared God” (Exodus 1:15-21) which empowered their lack of fear for human authority.

The truth is, her reaction may not actually require us to feel disappointed, defensive, confused, angry or misunderstood. Many times we want to react in those ways because we are taking the reaction personally as if it’s about us. It may not be at all.

We didn’t know what we were going to do but somehow I had an anticipation God knew. God had been working on my contentment and the lack of money seemed a perfect challenge for learning more about God’s ability to provide. I decided I wouldn’t be discontented or worried.

In a few days, I’ll be celebrating 55 years of following Christ. On October 1st, 1967, I received Christ as my Lord and Savior.

Kathy Collard MillerEach lesson has: questions based on the Bible and space for writing in answers commentary giving insights into the text practical application and instruction “Letter from God.” Many of the stories about biblical characters are focused on women, making it a unique study. Here are the topics of the 10 lessons: Lesson 1—Courage Representing God Lesson 2—Courageous in Serving Lesson 3—Courageously Overcoming Discouragement Lesson 4—Courageous Within My Family Lesson 5—Courageous in My Church Lesson 6—Courageously Standing Against Popular Opinion Lesson 7—Courageously Standing Against Evil Lesson 8—Courageously Standing for God at Work Lesson 9—Courageously Facing Temptation Lesson 10—Courageous Jesus, Our Inspiration Here’s Lesson 1 of “Heart of Courage.” I hope it encourages you. Verse 15 tells us, “Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.” The Greek word for progress, prokopē, is the idea of “cut forward” or “advance.” God is encouraging us to continue growing a little at a time.

(By the way, don’t forget to go to my previous blog post to enter the drawing for my new book “Heart of Courage: Daughters of the King Bible Study Series.” The drawing will end soon.) If as believers in God and His Son we are basing our outlook with an accurate perspective of God, we have a solid foundation for faith. Of course, all of us would say, “But I don’t think of Him that way.” Whether or not we think of His qualities truthfully is revealed by the choices we make in each challenge or joy of life. We would always trust in a God who is completely good, kind, loving, wise, patient, and faithful, and who also hates and is wrathful against sin because of its damage to His creation and created ones.

You know what to do!” This all sounds well and good and everyone needs encouragement, but sometimes in life, we just “ain’t got it.” We face circumstances and seasons where we know we are only going to be able to make it through by the grace of God. We look within ourselves and unequivocally know we just don’t have the power to eradicate cancer, equip a loved one to overcome an addiction, put the prodigal on the path back home, or look into the future with certainty of the outcome we so desperately desire.

Thank you so much for continuing to pray for our strength to trust God in this journey and He has answered by providing His courage. I look back over the last year before I knew this challenge was coming and realized I had been working on editing my next Bible study in my “Daughters of the King Bible Study Series.” The study is on courage. It will be called “Heart of Courage.” I truly believe that along with your prayer support, studying the Bible on the topic of courage contributed to trusting God.

In the Old Testament book of Malachi, we read how the Israelites were arguing with God. Either they didn’t recognize it as arguing or they were just obstinate. Any of us–all of us–have been in both categories. With God and with other people.
