How to Pray for Other People

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 9 minute read

My husband and I trooped through three antique stores in one weekend looking for one thing: the perfect prayer bench to put in our narrow bedroom closet.  The darling teal cabinet that we found looks nothing like a bench, but it drew both my husband and me from the corner of the last antique store we visited that Sunday afternoon. The pièce de résistance? The cabinet opens to reveal a wire rack which perfectly holds books and ... Read More about How to Pray for Other People

How to Find Freedom from Guilt and Shame

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 6 minute read

A friend of mine had her first baby last month, so I offered to take her dinner, but it all went terribly wrong. Whenever a friend has a new baby, one of my favorite ways to show my love and support is to drop off a dinner complete with homemade bread or brownies (and maybe a pack of diapers, too). And as a new mommy myself, I know just what a huge difference having a meal delivered makes in that bleary-eyed newborn season! That particular ...

How to Truly Cherish Your Spouse

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 4 minute read

My husband, Devin, and I attended a marriage conference earlier this year with our church and left with an assignment: to read the book Cherish by Gary Thomas. Since we are both readers, we were not only excited to read a book together (something we've done sporadically since our dating days) but even more excited because the book was written by Gary Thomas. Although Thomas has been my favorite marriage author for four years now (ever ... Read More about How to Truly Cherish Your Spouse

She Left Her Water Jar

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 2 minute read

The story of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 has always been a favorite of mine. Perhaps because our first meetings with Jesus were so similar: a thirsty and hopeless heart living an ordinary day suddenly transformed by an extraordinary encounter with the Savior of the world. Jesus went out of His way to pass through Samaria. Most Jews of His day avoided the land because the Samaritans weren’t considered “true” Jews. This is why the ...

When You and Your Husband Have Opposite Personalities

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 3 minute read

No other test I took in college changed my life like the MBTI personality test. I was just chatting with a friend today about how we both first took the MBTI during our college years. We both found it so freeing to discover that we are wired this way. And that's okay. Other people are, too. Not my husband, though. One of the first questions I asked my husband after we met was whether he'd taken the MBTI. I confess, I was ... Read More about When You and Your Husband Have Opposite Personalities

For When You Want to Cry on Christmas

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 3 minute read

This will be our eighth Christmas without him. My grandfather was a man of few words. The adjective "quiet" fit him to a T. Still, he was there for everything. Impromptu dinners, horse-riding competitions, graduations, and especially Christmas. There's just something about sitting on the couch next to your grandpa while watching "Miracle on 34th Street" together. The first Christmas was definitely the hardest holiday ever. We did well, ...

a Cinderella novel that makes you ponder the heart of God

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 3 minute read

I wish I had been able to read this book back when I was single. Then (and now!) I devoured love stories left and right. There is just something about a love story, isn't there? I can't get enough. If you're also a love story aficionado, allow me to introduce you to one of the best love stories I've read all year--and the heroine who is nothing like you might expect. "It all began when I was three. At least, that’s the story my mom used to ... Read More about a Cinderella novel that makes you ponder the heart of God

How to Foster Effective Communication in Marriage

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 7 minute read

When my husband and I bought a new-to-us car right after Valentine's Day last year, we immediately fell in love with the sleek white minivan. There was only one problem: we couldn't find the CD player. If it hadn't come with a CD player, that wouldn't have posed a hardship (okay, maybe a little). But we knew it had to be there. Several buttons hinted at its existence. We just couldn't find the magical button combination that made the slot ... Read More about How to Foster Effective Communication in Marriage

12+ Historical Novels to Fascinate Every Age

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 8 minute read

As a historical fiction author, I'm often asked what gems of the genre I recommend. I love being asked for book suggestions, but I always follow up with a few questions first because there are so many facets (and sub-genres) to historical fiction! Here are my questions and answers, and most importantly, the titles of my favorite historical novels for every age. Whatever your taste in history or books, browse the list below for ideas on where ... Read More about 12+ Historical Novels to Fascinate Every Age

How to Keep Long-Distance Friendships Strong

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 5 minute read

On a sunny Friday in October, I sat in my friend's hallway and helped her pack up her husband's office. We chatted as we have on countless other Fridays about love and marriage, children and parenting, faith and loss. Neither of us wanted to dwell overlong on the fact that this would be our last Friday together, at least in this house. In a few days, the possessions we packed would be stacked in boxes lining her driveway. Within the week she, ... Read More about How to Keep Long-Distance Friendships Strong

I will show up to Heaven like this.

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 5 minute read

She thought she'd get to keep her. Katie Davis, a missionary in Uganda and founder of Amazima Ministries, has adopted 13 daughters, but once she had 14. At 17 years old, Katie moved from a suburb in Nashville, Tennessee all the way to Uganda to teach kindergarten. Why move halfway across the world when her parents wanted her to attend college? Because she had fallen in love with Uganda during a high school mission trip and, with her ... Read More about I will show up to Heaven like this.

how to look at loss when fear strangles

Rachelle Rea Cobb · 5 minute read

At noon on a hot July Friday, my husband, Devin, and I both had routine appointments scheduled with our dentist. After my appointment was concluded, I stood up from the dental chair with cleaned teeth and a clean bill of health. The dental assistant led me to the chair where Devin was still mid-appointment. Our dentist, who had just left me laughing about some joke he had told, was checking my husband's lymph nodes. He hadn't checked mine, so ... Read More about how to look at loss when fear strangles

What is grace?

We'd love to tell you a story... We believe there is no room for self-righteousness or for self-condemnation in hearts that have been given life by His transforming love.

He walked straight into a story of brokenness and pain. For us. And grace is the ability to fellowship again. Read more...
