Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Ahhh… The everyday-ish-ness of life.
Some might find it comfortable. Others might find it mundane.
Regardless of where you land on the everyday-ish-ness of life, I can tell you one thing… There are blessings to be counted EVERYWHERE.
Don’t believe me? Well, hear me out on today’s vlog. [Read more…]
I believe that blowing kisses is one of the most adorable and simple (yet under utilized) acts of blessing, romance and love.
Think about it– when was the last time someone blew you a kiss? Was it your beloved spouse as you drove away on a trip? Or your child (or grandchild, niece, nephew, whoever) who did the audible, enthusiastic pucker blown kiss?
I just think the whole thing is kinda sweet.
But regardless of what earthly person is (or isn’t) blowing you sweet kisses… God blows us blessing kisses every single day. [Read more…]
Ministry is HARD. Heck, who I am I kidding– LIFE is hard!! And exhausting. And confusing. Yet depending on how we live our lives– it can be incredibly rewarding.
As I was driving to work yesterday, my heart was heavy… My Facebook ministry page was ticking me off, because FB decided to start filtering who sees what posts. Which means sometimes only 10% of followers will see these posts unless I literally PAY to promote it.
But I digress. SIGH.
I was thinking… “Lord, does this really matter? What am I working for? Is it worth it?” [Read more…]
Today’s blog post is brought to you by little green army men, our pup Sweet Justus and a fun sense-of-humor-laden family project…
“Will this be together or separate?”
<Insert cricket sounds here.>
Ahh, can’t beat that wonderful awkward moment at a restaurant or cash register as that fateful question hangs in the air.
We’ve probably all been there– dining with a friend, co-worker, or acquaintance, and then the awkwardness of that question throws us off. “Crud, we didn’t talk about this beforehand. I don’t have the cash to cover us both unless I have to, but I don’t want them to pay for me either.” [Read more…]
Few things in this life make my heart overflow with joy more than when God turns a trial into a blessing.
That was certainly the case in our latest “Factor of 7” for the month of June.
My beloved and I were in Fort Stewart for his eye surgery. We were doing our best to enjoy ourselves—but when you are dealing with army hospitals and/or their plans and/or the fact that we were traveling/fasting/ eating only 7 foods for a month, it can prove to be a bit challenging. [Read more…]
It has finally happened. I have finally gotten the guts to take a leap in to the “Vlogging” world.
For all of you newbies to the techie world (don’t worry, I only learned the term “vlog” about a month ago) “Vlog” is a simply a video plus a blog. Get it? Vlog. (I think Blideo would have been an interesting choice as a close second for techie terminology.) [Read more…]
You never know… your ONE act of love might be more than ENOUGH to change someone’s life.
Husbands can be pretty useful creatures. They are great jar-openers, heavy lifters, huggers, patience-builders, grillers, laugh-inducers, Jesus-leaders, eye-roll-causers… You can probably add a few of your own to this list.
Mine, in particular, is a great perspective-keeper.
My beloved helps me to keep things in perspective. He is a great big-picture thinker. (A skill that I sometimes lack.) My type-A firstborn personality lends to me wanting to do BIG things… but He always keeps me grounded and encourages me to keep a clear focus. [Read more…]
It’s the day after Easter, folks… This means that in addition to Easter candy going on sale today (YAY!) and most church workers being tired after working like crazy yesterday, lent has ended for another year.
What did your 40 days bring? Mine were… um… profound. [Read more…]
Oh dearest readers… March was certainly “a month” for the Knobloch family. I have always hear that it was supposed to come in like a lion, out like a lamb (or visa versa.)
But for me, it kind of felt like the whole month was one big ol’ roaring lion. Baring it’s teeth. In my grill. Chasing me down the street.
However… It didn’t catch me! The Lamb seemed to save me. (Jesus = Lamb. Get it? Look at me go with my play on words. Whew.)
We are kicking off a new month (and that’s no April fool’s joke) so it is time to start fresh. But in the meantime, here is my accountability update from my “Smart” changes for 2012. (Read the Original Post here.) [Read more…]
