Courage Daughter: An Invitation from Andrea Muirhead

Courage Daughter: An Invitation from Andrea Muirhead

I just got back to my office after a lunch date with a friend. We had a little time to kill before she needed to be dropped off at her next appointment, so we went shopping. We were browsing the soap section of a department store when we found shower caps. I suggested we buy matching polka-dotted ones and wear them together when we were in the pool at Ladies’ Retreat. Dear friends, let me cordially invite you to join us at Sister Triangle’s Ladies’ Winter Retreat at the Temple Garden Mineral Spa in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on the weekend…

Seeing the Unseen

Beautiful things - Andrea Muirhead Article

  By Andrea Muirhead It’s cold. Its -35 degrees Celsius, as I drive down the highway. It’s been a long winter and it’s far from over. People around me are feeling the winter “blues.” I am too. But today the sun is shining brightly, so brightly that I need to wear my sunglasses. I remember as a kid driving places with my dad and being amazed at the animals we would see from the car.

The neighbours got stuck coming one kilometer to pick up the big kids but my dad, the hero, and his super-Volkswagen, safely transported Mum and me to the hospital. Jesus tells a great story of an unlikely hero, a simple shepherd, a man who had 100 sheep. This story is not about the…

A Little Girl’s Lament

Andrea Muirhead When I was little, I wrote a poem entitled “Why Me”. The poem was basically me complaining to God about my childish struggles. It was kind of cute, now that I think about it asan adult, but it didn’t feel cute then, and it doesn’t now when I still find myself talking to God this way. Why am I single? Why am I a plus-sized girl? Why don’t I feel more successful at my job? If you are also asking God, “Why me” about something in your life, you are not alone. Twice today, I have found myself…
