Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Ah yes. Mondays.
I’ve written on numerous occasions about all things Mondays. Fortunately, in the almost seven (WHAT?!?) years that I’ve blogging and engaging in online ministry, I’ve come to loathe Mondays a whole lot less.
Aw. I think I’m growing up. [Read more…]

It’s no secret that God’s creation is beautiful. That concept coupled with the incredible things He has done for us can give us the boost we need to get through even our hardest days. [Read more…]
You might recall that we are mixing things up a little here at 7 Days Time. We are doing a little bit of photo-blogging AND audience participation.
Why? Because sometimes pictures ARE worth a thousand words– and maybe it is just me, but I *occasionally* need a reminder of what Christ has done (and is doing) in my life. [Read more…]
Yesterday was quite the “special” day.
Notice how I put “special” in quotes… Because that is my 38-week pregnancy sarcasm shining through.
Now, this isn’t a pregnancy blog by a long shot, but that IS my current season of life. And as we have established over the last few years, God has a way of speaking to us in our everyday moments– the good, the bad, and the painful.
Long story probably still long: Yesterday, we spent some quality time in the hospital, per midwife’s orders, because I was having legit, organized, consistent and painful contractions.
We are talking like several consistent hours of contractions, 3-4 minutes apart and 90+ seconds in duration.
It totally looked like the real deal… We were excited (and sort of relieved) that Baby-go-time was potentially up on us. The bags were in the car, we were ready to make things happen. [Read more…]
My husband is, well, a man.
And stereotypically speaking, he is a man with minimal amount of emotions.
Especially when it comes to the deep heart stuff.
Honestly, there are a few very good reasons for this:
We’ve all been there. Yeah, in that boat of experiencing too much of a good thing.
It could be that we ate too much at the buffet. Or that our “general connection” with people on Facebook (or technology in general) has taken a priority over our time with the Lord. Or our intention of working out is now borderline unhealthy.
There are so many good things in this world. But these good things have to be kept on a leash, lest the good things usurp our God things. [Read more…]
God is so sneaky. He throws the best surprise parties, even in our everyday lives.
He cheers us up and cheers us on.
On today’s video blog, I share just how God surprised me and pretty much made my day… With a simple cup of fancy coffee. [Read more…]
Every now and then… I need to be encouraged.
Life can get a little ooey on occasions– I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m still super blessed, but life (for me OR you) isn’t easy. If it was, it wouldn’t be called earth… It would be called heaven.
But unfortunately for those of us in the here and now, we live in a fallen world. (Thanks a lot Adam and Eve! Oh, who am I kidding– if they didn’t mess it up, somebody else would have come along 20 seconds later, listened to that Satanic snake and jacked it up for us regardless. But I’m not bitter. It’s fine.) [Read more…]
It’s early in the morning. People are gathering. Some are chatting with friends, others nervously fidgeting as they hang by themselves. Someone makes the announcement.
“Please move to the starting line.”
Running a race is… intense. Some “professional” runners are in to win that trophy or a sweet medal. Others, like myself, simply want to run and not die. Or break our face. [Read more…]
