Donation Angels

A couple of weeks ago, I bid adieu to my 20’s and welcomed in my 30’s.

As the extrovert I am, I was pondering what I should do to usher in this new decade of life. Should I party like a Jesus rockstar? Get another tattoo? (Oh wait. Already did that after my marathon…)

But, as the Lord often does, He surprised me and told me He wanted me to do something a little bit different… Hence, the #30Years30Acts of kindness project was born.

On my actual birthday-day, He had a doozy for me.

Check out the video to discover why I was wearing my wedding dress and drinking mineral water in a wine glass on a random weekday afternoon. [Read more…]

30 Years, 30 Acts of Kindness (Factor of 7) #EverydayJesus

I have been spending some super-duper quality time working through the book of James.

And for those of you who might be new to this Jesus journey, James is what one would call a “practical” book.

Which means major life application.

Application = Challenging.

Every time I get out out my Bible, notebook and pen that has like eight different color settings on it (Thanks, Lindsey) to dig into this word, I start to squirm. I have to fight the urge define my faith in light of my success (ahem, or failure) of God’s word in my life.

Slow to speak? Nope. Slow to anger? Negative. Showing favoritism? Yep, did that. UG! [Read more…]

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…]

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.
