Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a big ol’ fat life mess.
Perhaps it’s due to a decision we made. Or a choice someone else made. Or a life season. Or whatever. The important thing to remember is that when we are in a big ol’ fat life mess… God is sovereign, He is over it all, and knows what He is doing.
And oftentimes, if we open our eyes (and our hearts!) that mess will turn into a pretty suh-weet Jesus message.
Been there. Done that. Living it now. [Read more…]
Ever have a day that is just awesome and totally rocks your world?
And then have you ever experienced something at the end of that awesome day that rocks your world in a less positive way?
Yep. It happened to me just a couple of weeks ago.
I had planned several weeks in advance to take a bit of a sabbatical day from ministry, blogging, writing, working etc. I was super excited because it was going to be a filled with Me Time… I started out with Quiet Time with Jesus (of course) then headed out into the world for a day of relaxation and rejoicing. First stop? Starbucks… It was free because I had a gift card left over from Christmas. (And a real treat because I don’t get Starbucks very often. I love it– but it adds up quick financially!)

Welcome to the latest installment of Five Minute Friday.
It’s a good time. Won’t you join us?
Each week (on Friday,) we hook up with Lisa-Jo Baker… She gives us a prompt, then we write. For five minutes flat.
No overthinking. No excessive editing. Just going with the flow.
It’s a great workout– and you don’t even have to leave your comfy chair.
Today’s Prompt: AGAIN
AND GO! [Read more…]
I love routine.
ESPECIALLY my morning routine.
Depending on which day of the week it is, as in if I am working from home or will be going into church to work, here’s the general thought on how it goes.
Wake up. Take a deep breath. Release my day to God before my crazy-lady achiever brain takes over thinking of the 40 million things I want to accomplish during the day. (This step took practice. As in, lots of practice.) Say a little prayer for the coming day. Hoist myself out of bed. Unplug/grab my cell phone. Quick stop at the bathroom. (Sorry– is that TMI? We all do it.) Check self in the mirror. Result? Disheveled hair and sleepy eyes. Brush teeth. Turn off the ceiling fan and trot (plod? stumble) downstairs. [Read more…]
Over the past several months, my beloved hubby and I have been privileged to experience the joy of pregnancy. This lil one has been cooking for 8 months now– and we have learned A LOT. (I know, I know– the real learning doesn’t start til he/she gets here. But we have learned/grown in the meantime.)
I have published a couple of humorous (yet true) posts in the past dealing with the 10 Commandments of Pregnancy for Husbands and 10 Commandments of Pregnancy for Friends/Family/Strangers. Both articles have been well-received, but honestly, I was feeling a bit left out.
That’s right. Today’s post is all about the 10 Commandments of Pregnancy… for the preggos themselves. [Read more…]
Hey folks.
It’s Friday.
Which means we link up with Lisa Jo and write. For five minutes flat.
Today’s prompt: CHERISHED
GO! [Read more…]
Balance. It can be such a “heavy” word. (Pun intended.)
2013 is looking like it could be a shake-up year– not in a bad way, but with a new (aka our first) baby on the way and 2,800 mile move per duty station change looming quickly there after, things could get interesting.
Perhaps you are facing a similar year. (Or had one of those last year.) We aren’t facing our future with fear– which we are thrilled about– but rather just awareness that this might not be easy. [Read more…]
As of late, I have been stuck on the term “soul sister.” Or, more appropriately to my pronunciation, “Soul Sista.” (It just makes me feel cooler.)
Interestingly enough, we have been challenged by a digital soul sista Jen over at Finding Heaven Today with Soli Deo Gloria Sisterhood to share on our blog what “sisterhood” means to us… So for all my gal readers, get ready to have some fun! (And for all my dude readers… buckle up for an inside look at what sisterhood is all about… take some notes. You might learn something productive and be able to impress that lady in your life with new info later. Just sayin’.) [Read more…]
5…6…7… and 8…
Oh hey. Sorry, didn’t see ya there. I was just doing my finger calisthenics and warming up for my weekly Five Minute Friday Finger Sprint with our friend Lisa Jo.
Here’s how it works. Lisa Jo gives us a prompt. Then we write for five minutes whatever profound (or not-so-profound) thoughts comes to mind. No excessive editing or overthinking. Just going with the flow, writing then linking up in our FMF community.
Enough chit chat. Let’s get started.
Todays prompt: DIVE
And GO! [Read more…]
Let’s be honest… we are all kind of spoiled.
Now before you get all persnickety, let me explain. If you are reading this from a computer or an iPhone or some kind of technical device (yes, even if it is at work) you are sitting pretty good. If you are reading this from a place that has heat (or air conditioning, depending upon which hemisphere you reside in), you are pretty well off. And hey– I’m no exception– I’m writing this in my “comfy clothes” in my recliner, cuddling with our pup, heater running in a warm, dry house on my computer.
I think I’m doing alright. [Read more…]
