Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Henry Blackaby said “Waiting is one of the hardest yet most important things we will ever do as Christians.”
I, personally, think that’s an understatement.
Think to yourself about how much time you spend waiting…
Waiting for the traffic light to turn green…
Waiting for the microwave to beep so you can enjoy those delicious leftovers… [Read more…]
Hi there, friends! It’s time for Five Minute Friday…
(Back story: Each week I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker. She gives us a prompt and we write for, yep, you guessed it… Five minutes.)
So here goes nothing.
Today’s prompt: TRUE
AND GO! [Read more…]
I am not the lord of my life… THANK GOD.
I type those words with ease, because if I was lord of my life, I would be in serious trouble.
But there was a time (not too long ago, might I add) that I really was TRYING to be my own lord. It wasn’t extremely obvious. It’s not like I was building little golden Sharita-idol statues to put around my house and sell on Amazon. (That would be so awkward.) However, I WAS trying to do all, control all, be all to everybody.
And as lovingly as God crafted me, I am NOT made for that.
Neither are you. [Read more…]
I’m a big fan of routine. It keeps me on track, moving forward and constantly stretching for my goals while seeking God in the process.
But sometimes my daily routine gets a little bit too… routine.
You know what I’m talking about. Those days where you get out of bed and while you KNOW you should be thankful to have another opportunity to experience life on this earth, but instead you really feel kinda meh. Blah. Gah.
Whatever nonsense word you want to use, you are feeling it. [Read more…]
Hey friends.
It’s Friday again. Time flies, eh?
Friday can only mean one thing around 7 Days Time… It’s time for Five Minute Friday. I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker. She gives us a prompt. And we write. For 5 minutes.
Simple as that.
Today’s Prompt: SHE
AND GO!!! [Read more…]
Fact: If God wasn’t in charge of this world, we would be in a whole heap of trouble.
Heck. God IS in charge of this world and it still seems like nothing but pain and sorrow.
Specifically on days like Monday when the news broke of the shooting in the Washington Naval Yard. My feelings were all over the place, both questioning and affirming my faith (at the same time if that’s possible.) [Read more…]
Can I get an AMEN? Anybody? So yeah, life on this earth ain’t easy. And that is probably the understatement of the decade.
Maybe it’s just the culture that we live in, but there is so much freakin’ pressure. Every where you look, there’s a Pinterest dream of a home where everything matches and only costs a dime, a housecleaning chart or recipe shared on Facebook sure to make your life a fairytale. It’s all bigger, better, faster, cuter, cheaper, neater…
GAH. There’s just so… much… pressure! [Read more…]
Hey gang. Tis time for Five Minute Friday.
Here’s the skinny: Each Friday, I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker for this super fun quick writing adventure. She gives us a prompt. And we write. For five minutes flat.
Not overthinking or tweaking or editing. We just write.
Let’s get going, shall we?
This weeks prompt: MERCY
ANDDDD GO! [Read more…]
Confession: I always feel… um… awkward… when I pass a homeless person on the street.
I never know what to do. Do I ignore them? Then I feel like a huge jerk. Do I make eye contact and say hello? I still feel like a jerk. Oh wait. Maybe its not awkward. And maybe it’s not just feeling like a jerk. Maybe it’s conviction. Like, from the Holy Spirit. As in I should do something about it.
But I haven’t really known what to do before. Until last week. [Read more…]
So, I have to admit that I wasn’t really “popular” in high school. (Shocker, right? You would think that with my love of inky pens and new school supplies, I woulda been a shoo-in…)
Honestly, I didn’t really want to be popular. Because even in a high school graduating class of 18 (yes, 18!) people, the popular kids always seemed to be dealing with more trouble than their “social status” was worth. (Sidenote: Nothing against the popular kiddos, especially if that included you. 🙂 )
I was friends with pretty much everyone but sure wasn’t fashionable or the party gal or the most entertaining. (Heck, I’m still none of those almost 10 years later. Ha.) [Read more…]
