MB Dahl
Writer of fiction, warrior at heart
There’s more, right? School, work, family, good times and bad. At the end of the day, we hope for more. I write about the more. The more where we let loose and see ourselves through the eyes of love. The magical more of life and faith in the unseen. The more whispered by hope to our struggling hearts.
If we could see how much more God can make of our life, would we still be quiet? Struggle with our weight? Be anxious? Hide our flaws? Stay broken? Or would we be strong and outspoken? Warriors at heart? Courageous and free? My stories, studies, and scripts ask these questions and explore our brokenness under the sweet mercy of God. They show how the average become unique, and the weak become warriors.

A Lost Streak and Two Questions for You

When You’re Anything But Strong

Oct. 31, 2022 by

I’m fairly certain I will not survive the apocalypse. I like to think when push comes to shove, I’ll somehow morph into this super strong and smart rendition of MacGyver, Bear Grylls, and Katniss Everdeen combined. But the sad truth

When God Doesn’t Want the Best for Me

Sep. 30, 2022 by

“What? God doesn’t want the best for me?” I don’t remember what started the conversation or even what followed. All I remember is when my husband said something that stopped me in my argumentative tracks. He said God’s greatest desire

I’m embarrassed to share this, but I sometimes have questions. Faith questions. The big world overwhelms me, and I melt under the noise of thousands upon thousands who seem to not even notice their creator. The masses move with certainty,

How Many Unanswered Prayers Does It Take?

Jul. 31, 2022 by

God didn’t answer my prayers. Okay, I guess the appropriate way to write that would be God said no to my prayer. I really only prayed once, and no is an actual answer. (I forget that sometimes.) It seemed like

The Day I Realized I’m Not Invisible

Jun. 30, 2022 by

Sometimes I wonder if I’m invisible. I know I’m not, but sometimes it seems like other people don’t even notice I’m here. Like when I’m walking down the street, and they come straight at me. My husband says I need

Where did I get the idea life shouldn’t be so hard? Am I the only one surprised by how “not easy” the pathway is? This isn’t meant to be a poor-me-life’s-so-hard kind of post. It’s just that I often walk

The World Was Blurry But Now I See

My world had shifted from clear and crisp to blurry and blended, and I hadn’t bothered to make it better Or I hadn’t until a few weeks ago when I finally visited the optometrist. According to the doctor, I barely
