Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.

| My beautiful family… (Don’t worry,Dal, I think you are beautiful too,
this is just before your “time.” Ha) |
Think of a time that some one has sincerely told you that you are beautiful. Maybe it was a spouse. Perhaps a best friend. Maybe even a stranger. Oh, and don’t forget God (He always calls you beautiful!) How does that make you feel??I don’t know about you, but if someone tells me that, I get all fluttery and blushy warm all around my heart. It feels SO GOOD. [Read more…]
Confession: I am not overly excited to write this blog post. But God isn’t leaving me alone about it (surprised?) so I suppose it is time to put on my big girl panties and git-er-done.
I have been marinating on this post topic for a good 13ish days now– probably longer if you count the days before I actually made it a “draft” on my blog notes. It’s an important topic, but pretty touchy for most folks. Also, it tends to be ridiculously complicated. I have a sneaky feeling that this topic is going to require at least three separate posts. Ok, enough of the self pep talk. It’s go time. Let’s talk about beauty. [Read more…]
God sure is a sneaky (awesome) dude sometimes.
You may be asking yourself what I mean. Well, I had another moment from this weekend at CCC’s Women’s Retreat that involved God not only working overtime but also revealing some cool new “tools” in my ministry arsenal. Apparently, I can paint fingernails. Who knew, right? Not this girl. [Read more…]
At 2:58pm yesterday, I returned home from one of the most awesome, intense, transformational, profound, exhausting, replenishing, breathtaking experiences of my entire life.
For about 48 hours from Friday afternoon to Sunday, I was hanging with the Holy Spirit and about 60 other women at Christ Community Church’s Women’s Retreat 2011. The theme was “Come Away…” And away we certainly went.
God showed up in a huge way, especially for me. I could literally write a book (ok, well at least a 20 page report) about the profound revelations and transformation that God revealed in my heart this weekend. But today, I would like to share with you how God allowed me to “Taste the Rainbow.” [Read more…]
Social media is a HUGE deal right now. Ok, that was kind of an obvious statement– but it needed to be made for the purpose of this post. To prove my point, I would bet that most of you out there in cyber-land probably found out about this blog via Facebook or Twitter. (Thanks, internet.) [Read more…]
Music rocks my world. Literally.
I have always liked listening to music and discovered in the 5th grade that that I could sing ok-ish. (much to my surprise as well as our elementary/middle school choir.) My first ever solo performance was the “Somewhere Out There” from The American Tail: Fieval Goes West. [Read more…]
While I don’t have any little children of my own yet, I like to babysit other drill sergeant wives’ on occasion. This has worked out pretty well for the last few months since I have been in Georgia, but I began to realize that these little ones were getting bored when they came over to our place, primarily because we didn’t have any toys. And let’s be honest, you can only watch Tangled so many times. [Read more…]
As I was praying about what to write today, my tired mind was spinning… Or at least fogging over. Honestly, it has been a crazy day, a lot on my heart and in my head (don’t worry, it’s mainly all good things… apparently ministry is taxing work! Who knew, right?)
Anyway, God reminded me of a prayer that I wrote for myself in my journal during Prayer week about a month ago (it’s only been a month? Feels like ten years!) I was compelled to open my heart and share it with the world. [Read more…]
It’s been ten years.
I was sitting in freshmen English class at Crest High School in Colony, KS. One of my classmates, KC, was tardy from school that day. Suddenly he came barreling through the doors saying that the reason he was late was because he stayed home watching the news about some planes crashing into buildings in New York City. A few moments later the teachers got word of the attacks and clicked on the cable in various classrooms. Is this really happening? [Read more…]
