Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Today, I am INCREDIBLY blessed and honored to bring you a Friday Focus that is not only fun– but filled with faith.
In 2012, the world has come to know the awesomeness of Greg, Nathan and Kendal Peterson, more commonly know as the Peterson Farm Bros. These fellows have become a YouTube sensation, creating some pretty sweet parody videos to promote agriculture… And Jesus. [Read more…]
As I reminisce about my childhood in northwest Kansas, I can’t help but remember some of the prominent TV shows that we got on one of our four channels. (Yes, we had four TV channels. As long as the weather was good. And don’t get me started on how heartbreaking it was to this seven-year-old whenever the president was giving a speech since he was on all channels. But I digress.)
Anyway, there were specific TV shows I remember growing up as a “child of the 90’s.” Full House. Legit (and appropriate) Saturday morning cartoons. TGIF series on Fridays. Rescue 911. And for some reason, parts of the show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” flash through my head. [Read more…]
Maybe it’s just me… but sometimes I still find myself being a little surprised/shocked at how many folks want to “make it big” and “get rich quick.”
Every day, we encounter some kind of “great plan” giving us the chance to make some alleged fast cash. Now, I’m sure some of those business schemes ideas are legit, but really, most just make me roll my eyes.
This blog post is not a slam against monetary success. We’ve talked about it before– Jesus never said money in itself was the root of evil. The LOVE of money is. Ultimately, our reaction to it determines the result.
It can bless. Or it can destroy. We get to choose. [Read more…]
It is the season for giving… So for the month of December, I am excited to introduce a new series called “Friday Focus.” Since Five Minute Friday is taking a holiday hiatus, God has encouraged me to showcase some faithful folks who are living in obedience, promoting His message in unique ways.
Our first Friday Focus Feature comes from a former client (and now friend!) of mine named Aribel. This woman has experienced God’s power in mighty ways throughout her life, but most recently as a breast cancer survivor. She has taken Romans 8:28 (“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”) to heart.
Sweet Aribel not only has an incredible heart for God, but she is sharing her breast cancer story– in a very artistic way. Aribel is the founder of Breast Cancer Survivor’s Footprints. She has taken her artwork, which stemmed out of her breast cancer journey, and is now sharing it for God’s glory. Here is her story… [Read more…]
Rumor has it… 2012 is coming to an end. (And by rumor, I really mean my iCalendar told me so.)
This has been quite a year~ In one word? Educational. Well, and encouraging. (Ok, I know that’s two words– but hey, that’s the awesome power of the keyboard. I do what I want. Well, within reason. Ish.)
We here in the Knobloch Family are mixing things up a bit this year. Instead of sending out hard copies of printed letters, in envelopes with pictures with full postage, we are going digital. Don’t worry, we are still sending out picture postcards– but we wanted to save on postage and labor, so are trying something a lil new. (Plus it was a compromise of my desire to update our dear friends and family on our lives via full printed letter/picture and my sweet husbands theory of “Can’t we just send out a text message?”) [Read more…]
Ministry is HARD. Heck, who I am I kidding– LIFE is hard!! And exhausting. And confusing. Yet depending on how we live our lives– it can be incredibly rewarding.
As I was driving to work yesterday, my heart was heavy… My Facebook ministry page was ticking me off, because FB decided to start filtering who sees what posts. Which means sometimes only 10% of followers will see these posts unless I literally PAY to promote it.
But I digress. SIGH.
I was thinking… “Lord, does this really matter? What am I working for? Is it worth it?” [Read more…]
The smell of turkey wafts through the house… family piles into the kitchen, clamoring for their “special” chair and debating on which slice of pie will be most worth the calories.
Thanksgiving. A beautiful time of year. A time for family. A time for food. A time for giving thanks.
But sometimes, that’s easier said than done. [Read more…]
Life is hard sometimes. (I think I have mentioned this once or twenty times before.)
Over the last three months or so, we have been on a journey– a journey to calm our anxious hearts and find contentment in Christ.
While the Bible study part of the journey concludes today, our heart journey continues.
Probably for the rest of our lives. And I don’t know about you, but it is a journey that I am STILL so excited to be on!
Many women have been transformed over the last few weeks by the power of Christ through trusting in Him– myself included. And I can’t wait to see where He takes us next. [Read more…]
Happy Friday, peeps.
It’s time for Five-Minute Friday with our link-up friend Lisa-Jo Baker.
(For those of you who might be new ’round these parts, on Friday’s Lisa gives us a one-word prompt, then we write for– yep, you guessed it– five minutes. No over thinking. No editing.)
Today’s prompt: STAY
And GO! [Read more…]
Confession: Getting your mouth washed out with soap tastes like…
Poo.
I know this for a fact thanks to my slight potty mouth when I was growing up. It wasn’t a rampant problem, but would often happen at the most inopportune times.
And by inopportune, I really mean the times that my Mom would hear it.
Then out came the bar of soap. (Or, if it was a REALLY bad word, enter sink left the liquid Dial soap. Ever try to get that off your tongue? Yeah, um yuck?) [Read more…]
It's been awhile since we have posted a fresh Factor of 7 here at 7 Days Time. We've done a few small ones over the last several months, but we wanted to share one of most recent random acts of kindness with you. Because it was fun. And hey, who … Interested? Read on...
