December 31, 2012TCW's Top 3 Blogs of 2012
Hundreds of topics were discussed on the TCW blog this year: which ones made the top 3?
by TCW Editorial Staff

As with most other years, 2012 was marked by highs and lows, tears and transitions, triumphs and tragedies. Today's Christian Woman was no exception, and was there to provide readers with wisdom and encouragement on a variety of topics throughout the year. According to our readers, here are the top three themes from our blog in 2012: giving up worry, overthinking, and relational boundaries. We'll be sure to write more on these topics in the New Year!
1. “Giving Up Worry” by Ashley Moore
A coworker’s words recently led me to an unnerving discovery: I have a anxiety addiction. Here's what I--by God's grace--did about it.
2. “Is 'Overthinking' a Blessing or a Curse?” by Beatrice Rusu Schoenrock
How I turned my excitable stream of consciousness into a daily devotional practice.
3. “Danger: Being Too Nice Can Wreck You & Your Relationships” by Shaye Gordon
How to respond when being a good Christian girl goes bad
What topics would you like to see more of in 2013?
