Scripture: "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
Reflection: I remember learning a valuable lesson, years ago, early in my marriage. During a difficult season with my new husband, I was skilled in the art of nitpicking. I was quick to criticize and comment on even the smallest offenses. I so clearly remember...
I love everything about fall. I love the smells. I love the colors. I love the crispness of fall mornings. Everything!

Here at Dashing Dish, we are not about diets. Instead, we are about encouraging healthy choices as a lifestyle; one that involves so much more than our bodies. An overflow of abundance and the well-being of every area of our life—our mental, emotional, relational, financial, and especially our spiritual—is God’s heart and should therefore, be our focus. That said, we understand that some of you reading this may have healthy and God-honoring goals for weight loss. If you are currently planning...
“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” John 20:29
Read that passage of scripture again. What words jump out at you? For me, I’m left amazed by the words, “And yet.” These two little words are so powerful! They are important not only here, but in our relationship with Christ in general. Do you ever consider the profoundness of the words, “And yet”? The use of the words, “and yet” is commonly used as a...

As an adult I have always been considered physically fit, strong and healthy. I figured when I got pregnant I would be the woman who still attended all of her regular fitness classes, ate clean and healthy all the time and kept that same fit physic shortly after giving birth.
