Here’s to Risking Rejection

January 8, 2014 by

Ok, peeps. I hope you brought your big girl (or boy) pants. Cuz it’s about to get real all up in here today.

I have dragged my feet writing this post. I have kept a secret locked away deep in my heart, telling only four other living souls. But now, thanks to the continual (loving) prodding from God and my friend Amy’s invitation to link-up and get “risky” in 2014, here goes nothing.

(Wait. I think I need a puke bucket. Nope, false alarm.)

So. Here’s my big secret. My risk. The exciting-terrifying call God has placed on my heart. [Read more…]

One Word 2014: GROW

January 7, 2014 by

Ah, friends.

I am super-dee-dang-o-dee-duper excited to write this post today. (Seriously, I am. That’s not computer sarcasm.)

This post has been several weeks in the making, primarily because I have been praying about my One Word for this new year all that time.

And today is the big reveal. After much prayer and research, I excitedly announce my One Word for 2014 is… [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Mercy Triumphs over Judgment

January 6, 2014 by

We live in such a judgmental world. UG.

I say this because this is something I still struggle with and God is doing a pretty intense work on me . My ridiculous fleshy self is still being subdued by the heart of Christ in me. It’s a process. But passing split-second judgments still happen for me (although I am immediately convicted.)  So this is why today’s Hidden Ah-Ha really tugged on my heartstrings. It’s a short four-word phrase found in James… [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Arise & Shine

December 30, 2013 by

We are standing on the precipice of a new year.

In just a couple of days, that ball will drop, we will place new calendars throughout our house and welcome 2014 with (hopefully) open arms.

Beautiful and exciting thought, yes?

But then… after the confetti is cleaned up and the tree is taken down, it’s back to the grindstone. Same old stuff.

Or is it??? [Read more…]

Change and Chocolate Mousse (Repost)

December 27, 2013 by

As the final days of 2013 are drawing to a close, many of us are probably prepping to make some changes for the coming year. Today, I want to share with you this repost (complete with a crazy-great-unique recipe) to encourage you to GO FOR IT in 2014! Change is good thing. Get some. 

****

I’ve always heard that change is inevitable… except from a vending machine. Ain’t that the truth? (Yes, I said ain’t. I’m being grammatically lazy today.)

Change IS going to happen in all parts of life: family, weather, jobs, circumstances, finances, our age… everything. If it is such a common occurrence, why do we fear it so much? [Read more…]

Twas the Military Night Before Christmas

December 23, 2013 by

Merry Christmas, beloved readers, followers and supporters!

Here at 7 Days Time, we dig tradition, especially around the holidays. So this Christmas, I wanted to re-gift a lil somethin’ somethin’. (Hope you aren’t offended. At least it’s not a fruitcake.) This is a tiny reminder of WHY we celebrate this wonderful holiday. We are free to celebrate thanks to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and our beloved American Military.

A Christmas Salute to you all!!
SGK

*****

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the base,
Soldiers were last-minute shopping,
Running all over the place.

It has been a crazy year,
Full of missions and drills,
But through serving their country,
Their hearts were fulfilled. [Read more…]
