21 Truths: God Gives Joy (#EverydayJesus)

April 3, 2014 by

I have loved music for as long as I can remember.

Growing up, my sister and I would spend time playing in the basement listening to old school records while Mom sewed. At night, we would pop in one of those nifty little yellow children’s cassette tapes and listen to tunes about coming around the mountain when she comes (whoever she was), Michael rowing his boat ashore and the like.

But now, over two decades (decades!?!) later, there is one song that still sticks in my head… And heart. [Read more…]

21 Truths: God is Infallible (#EverydayJesus linkup)

March 27, 2014 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day! 

***

Every now and then, I ask my Beloved Husband for input on bloggy topics for this website.

As I was praying through this “21 Truths About God” series for the days leading up to Easter, I wanted his perspective. So I plopped down on the couch, notebook in hand, and challenged Brandon to help me come up with this Godly traits or “truths.”

We started shooting them back and forth. Some came pretty quickly, like loving and faithful. Brandon said “Infallible,” and I responded with “Yeah! That’s a good one!”

I wrote it down. But a few moments later we both paused, looked at each other and said, “Wait a second… What exactly does infallible mean?”  [Read more…]

#EverydayJesus Link up: When God Helps You

March 13, 2014 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day!

There was a season in my life when I was not very good about asking for help.

That season lasted about 25 years of my life. Then I got married, answered the call to ministry and had a baby. I realized quick, fast, and in a hurry that I needed to get over myself, swallow my pride and not be afraid to ask for help.

Sometimes help might come from a friend. Other times, my husband is able to lend a hand. But most often, I am seeking help from the Lord.

Here’s one of my latest examples. [Read more…]

Jesus in the Birthday (#EverydayJesus linkup)

March 6, 2014 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day!

When I was a kid, my birthday was a pretty big deal.

Well, at least it was to me. (Everyone else acknowledged it but didn’t lose sleep anticipating it for weeks on end.)

My birthday was the only day of the year that it really was all about me… and if you have heard a few bits of my testimony, you understand that “I” was kind of my favorite thing.

I looked forward to the party, the gifts, bringing treats to school, the whole shebang. Now a few decades later, my birthday really isn’t that big of deal to me. Yes, I enjoy it but it sure doesn’t have the luster of day days of youth.

But I will tell you one thing that IS exciting about getting older: Celebrating your baby’s birthday. And thanking Jesus for this sweet little life He has bless us with. [Read more…]

Thank you for… (#EverydayJesus Link-up)

On a scale of one to ten, how thankful are you? (Ten being “I thank God multiple times a day for EVERYTHING” and one being “thankful-schmankful.”)

If I am being perfectly honest with myself, I would have to say I am well above a one but still have some work to do to get to a ten. Really, if we are still on this earth, then we won’t ever reach a ten because there is always something to be thanking God for.

Even the hard stuff.  [Read more…]

Slow Down People Breathing
Thanks Mark Stevens @ Flickr

Yes, yes, the rumors are true.

I am a hurrier. Guilty. Lock me up and cart me away… Just be quick about it.

Kidding. (Please don’t take me anywhere unless it involves fancy coffee or frozen yogurt.) But seriously. Have you accessed your life pace lately?

I am regularly convicted about mine. And I have a sneaky feeling that God wants us to do something about it. [Read more…]

Crash Course in Apologetics (#EverydayJesus Link-up)

February 13, 2014 by

My husband is a funny man.

We were chatting one day, talking about life, writing, Jesus, when suddenly he said this:

“You know, Sharita… Even though you went to seminary, you should always remember that I am well versed in apologetics because I am always apologizing to you for something ridiculous I have done.”

I laughed for like an hour. (Ok, maybe not an hour, but it was a good hearty laugh which I desperately needed.)

So today, per my husband’s hilarity, we are going to have a crash course in apologetics. [Read more…]

Why Jesus Needed an Eraser for His Pencil (#EverydayJesus Linkup)

February 6, 2014 by

Do you ever make mistakes?

If you answered no to this question, then you are excused. (And might I recommend Googling the phrase “honesty is the best policy?”)

For all the rest of us normal folks, the answer to that question is probably, “Heck yes, I make mistakes.” I know that I is my answer. I make mistakes dozens of times in a single day. And not just the “huge” mistakes like yelling at the dog or getting ticked at my Beloved husband for a miscommunication issue. But even the small stuff. Like misspelling a word. (I actually misspelled the word “misspell” til my computer lit up and reminded me it has two S’s.)

As a writer, I make tons of mistakes. Most of them you (hopefully?) don’t see because I delete words or sentences, utilize spell check and read through a post before I push publish. [Read more…]

The Difference between Grilling Steak & Working for Jesus

July 5, 2016 by

In college, I took a Meat Science class. (Don’t freak out… I was an animal science major at Kansas State…)

I learned a lot of interesting things in that class, most of which I have (unfortunately) not retained long term. HOWEVER, there is one statement from our rather feisty-old-man-professor Dr. Hunt that I will never forget.

We were talking about the different “doneness” of meat, specifically steak. He told us this, which has since stuck in my brain for nearly a decade: [Read more…]

A Little Jesus Leadership Pep-Talk

August 31, 2015 by

Recently I was hosting a leadership retreat for my sweet board of PWOC sisters. I intentionally carved out a bit of CRAVE time to just sit in God’s presence to see what He had to say.

Here is how He responded… And I wanted to share it with you, just in case YOU needed to hear it today. [Read more…]
