Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
I’m a big fan of routine. It keeps me on track, moving forward and constantly stretching for my goals while seeking God in the process.
But sometimes my daily routine gets a little bit too… routine.
You know what I’m talking about. Those days where you get out of bed and while you KNOW you should be thankful to have another opportunity to experience life on this earth, but instead you really feel kinda meh. Blah. Gah.
Whatever nonsense word you want to use, you are feeling it. [Read more…]
Hey friends.
It’s Friday again. Time flies, eh?
Friday can only mean one thing around 7 Days Time… It’s time for Five Minute Friday. I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker. She gives us a prompt. And we write. For 5 minutes.
Simple as that.
Today’s Prompt: SHE
AND GO!!! [Read more…]
Fact: If God wasn’t in charge of this world, we would be in a whole heap of trouble.
Heck. God IS in charge of this world and it still seems like nothing but pain and sorrow.
Specifically on days like Monday when the news broke of the shooting in the Washington Naval Yard. My feelings were all over the place, both questioning and affirming my faith (at the same time if that’s possible.) [Read more…]
Can I get an AMEN? Anybody? So yeah, life on this earth ain’t easy. And that is probably the understatement of the decade.
Maybe it’s just the culture that we live in, but there is so much freakin’ pressure. Every where you look, there’s a Pinterest dream of a home where everything matches and only costs a dime, a housecleaning chart or recipe shared on Facebook sure to make your life a fairytale. It’s all bigger, better, faster, cuter, cheaper, neater…
GAH. There’s just so… much… pressure! [Read more…]
Hey gang. Tis time for Five Minute Friday.
Here’s the skinny: Each Friday, I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker for this super fun quick writing adventure. She gives us a prompt. And we write. For five minutes flat.
Not overthinking or tweaking or editing. We just write.
Let’s get going, shall we?
This weeks prompt: MERCY
ANDDDD GO! [Read more…]
Confession: I always feel… um… awkward… when I pass a homeless person on the street.
I never know what to do. Do I ignore them? Then I feel like a huge jerk. Do I make eye contact and say hello? I still feel like a jerk. Oh wait. Maybe its not awkward. And maybe it’s not just feeling like a jerk. Maybe it’s conviction. Like, from the Holy Spirit. As in I should do something about it.
But I haven’t really known what to do before. Until last week. [Read more…]
So, I have to admit that I wasn’t really “popular” in high school. (Shocker, right? You would think that with my love of inky pens and new school supplies, I woulda been a shoo-in…)
Honestly, I didn’t really want to be popular. Because even in a high school graduating class of 18 (yes, 18!) people, the popular kids always seemed to be dealing with more trouble than their “social status” was worth. (Sidenote: Nothing against the popular kiddos, especially if that included you. 🙂 )
I was friends with pretty much everyone but sure wasn’t fashionable or the party gal or the most entertaining. (Heck, I’m still none of those almost 10 years later. Ha.) [Read more…]

ANNNDD GO! [Read more…]
There are few things more awkward in this world than not recognizing someone… especially when they seem to know you so well.
We’ve all be there. We are walking through the grocery store or exploring the county fair, when suddenly, from across the way, someone waves enthusiastically and shouts our name.
We glance at them and… Nothing. “Who the heck is that?” We wonder. We respond, pseudo-confidently. “Um, oh hey… YOU…” [Read more…]
I love AH-HA moments.
I have them randomly throughout my day. Some happen when I am messing with my blog online (oh, THAT’S how that widget works…) Or sometimes when I’m doing dishes (Seriously, just a couple of weeks ago I discovered that the bottom of our bottle brush comes off to wash the bottle nipple… It only took me 4 months to figure that out. DUH.)
But most often, my greatest AH-HA moments happen when I am at church or immersed in His Word. [Read more…]
