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…
Treasure in Jars of… Salsa??
August 27, 2012 by
Today, I would like to provide you with a practical, real-life lesson and application:
How to Semi-Effectively Clean Up A Smashed Jar of Salsa
1. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and say a silent prayer for the Lord to forgive you of the very loud and prominent obscenity you just yelled as you watched your new quart jar of homemade salsa crash onto the floor.
2. Shuffle the pup out of doors so he is not inclined to “help” with clean up.
3. Put on shoes as to avoid glass shards in the feet.
4. Clean up the glassy salsa with whatever tools you have available (might I recommend: An old dust pan and empty Diet Dr. Pepper box) [Read more…]
So long, Anxious Heart
August 20, 2012 by
I scan my list… Do I have everything? What if I forget something? I swallow the lump that is growing in my throat. My heart starts to beat faster. I glance down at my watch… Should I leave now? Or do I have more time?
If you have been hanging out with me here at 7 Days Time for a while, you have figured out that I am something of a worrywart. Honestly, it is super annoying and exhausting. Fortunately, God has used 2012 (and a majority of my adult life) to slowly but surely start weaning me from worrying. But he’s not done yet. [Read more…]
On our Tippy Toes (Five Minute Friday)
August 17, 2012 by
Hello all! We have made it to another Friday once again. (See, no matter what you do or don’t get done today, you can at least say you survived (and hopefully thrived) through another week!)
Fridays are extra special ’round these parts. It is the day where I link up with our favorite Gypsy Mama Lisa-Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday.
Five Minute Friday is just like it sounds– she gives us a prompt, then we write for five minutes. Sounds easy enough, yes?
Here’s the kicker– As we let the words flow, there is no over-thinking or editing. We just go with it and see what Jesus comes up with via our fingers in five minutes.
Today’s prompt: STRETCH
Ready? GO! [Read more…]
True Love Is… (Just A Quick Reminder)
August 16, 2012 by
Hello darling readers… due to my continued exhaustion via life/pneumonia/army, I am taking a quick brain breather and resharing with you one of my favorite posts… about marriage and Jesus. (Two of my favorite topics!) I would love to hear your fresh thoughts on what YOU believe true love really is in your life– in marriage, in your relationship with Christ or when/where ever! Leave a comment below. (Please and thank you.)
Thanks for your continued patience while I get back on my feet. Looking forward to getting back in the groove sooner than later. (Jesus willing.)
Much love,

A Lil Rest Stop
August 15, 2012 by
I have to be honest.
I am really tired.
Actually, “weary” might be a more accurate word.
There’s a lot going on in our dear little Knobloch household, from my sweet husband’s crazy drill sergeant schedule to my bout with pneumonia (still ongoing), ministry, life decisions etc.
So yes, I’m weary. [Read more…]
Kiss Big Buts Goodbye
August 14, 2012 by
I like big buts and I cannot lie.
Before you think I am about to burst into the chorus of a rather scandalous hip hop song from the 90’s, let me clarify: this post has absolutely nothing to do with fitness or what size of pants you wear. (If I had the magic formula to make those kind of butts shrink, I would probably be hosting an entirely different ministry page.)
However, the big buts I’m talking about always show up in my relationship with God.
And it’s not that I necessarily LIKE them– but I default to them. [Read more…]
Birthday Bests
August 13, 2012 by
It’s official.
Being sick is pretty much top ten most un-fun things EVER. Hence the reason why I haven’t been able to blog for a week. I’ve been battling bronchitis and pneumonia. (Both of which came out of NOWHERE, I might add.) For several days it was all I could do to make it to the kitchen back to the couch, let alone stare at a computer trying to string words together to form complete sentences. Fortunately, I have learned (often the hard way) that I HAVE to take a break and rest… or you might be reading this post as it would be written from my husband beside my hospital bed. Uh, no thanks.

Because Sometimes God Has Other Plans (Vlog)
August 2, 2012 by
Today we are changing things up a bit… And I am trying my hand at another vlog (aka video blog.)
Sometimes things don’t go our way… but take heart. It could be an incredible blessing in disguise!
