Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Such Great Faith

December 9, 2013 by

Sometimes I wonder what Jesus would say about us if He was talking to someone else.

Would He acknowledge our faults but still gush lovingly? “Yeah, she is definitely human… But man oh man, do I love her!!”

Or would He share remarks on our skills and attributes? “We made this chick special. She can multitask like a champ and she is pretty resourceful.”

Or… Would He react like He did in today’s Hidden Ah-Ha as He referred to the Faith of the Centurion?  “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Faith by Deeds

November 25, 2013 by

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think we kind of live in a “do what I say, not what I do” culture.

Or more like a “please ignore the fact that I say one thing but do another” culture.

Hey, I’m not condemning or convicting anyone (totally not my job– plus, I struggle with this too. It’s like we are sinners or something.) But  we act as if this whole concept of living up to the call on our lives is negotiable, like we can make the rules.

Newsflash: It’s not and we don’t. [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: No Fear of Bad News

October 28, 2013 by

There are few things in this world that make my heart jump into my throat faster than a phone call from my Beloved that starts like this:

“Hey, Sharita. So… I’ve got some news.”

Please excuse me until I stop hyperventilating. (Just kidding.)

But seriously. I can vividly remember early on in our relationship (during a deployment) how those words could bring me to my knees almost immediately. [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Stand Firm & Fall to God

October 21, 2013 by

I remember singing that old (as in 1993!) country song by Aaron Tippin.

He’d say you’ve got to stand for somethin’ or you’ll fall for anything
You’ve got to be your own man, not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what’s right and uphold your family name
You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything

Back when I was a little girl, I didn’t really give much thought to those lyrics. But now, “standing” for “something” has a totally different meaning for me. [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: It’s not a Vocabulary Issue

October 7, 2013 by

Welcome to 7 Days Time.

Today, we will be talking about vomit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! WAIT! Don’t leave. We aren’t talking about THAT kind of well, ya know… (Sheesh, give me some credit, man. Gross.)

I’m talking about WORD vomit. You know, that flow of words that just seems to bubble up out of the depths of your being and spew everywhere before you can say, “I think I’m going to be sick.”

Something that I am (unfortunately) pretty familiar with. SIGH. [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Starting out Popular

September 9, 2013 by

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…]
