Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
We live in a world of very mixed messages. Sometimes it is hard to keep all of those messages straight. Jesus says one thing. The world says another.
Unfortunately, some of those messages are accompanied by bondage.
Some messages take away our freedom.
Pornography is one. [Read more…]
You might have noticed that in this current season, Wednesdays are my days to work toward some super-awesome God-sized dreams. So here is a blast from the past straight from the archives. Enjoy, dear friends… and thanks for the grace.

Who would you say that your everyday hero is?
Perhaps it is your spouse. A parent. A child. A mentor. Maybe it’s the law enforcement officers or firefighters or soldiers (or maybe if you are like me, it is your soldier spouse…)
In addition to those awesome hero’s listed above, my hero is any person who had the courage to clean out the drain in the bottom of the kitchen sink. [Read more…]
Merry Christmas, beloved readers, followers and supporters!
Here at 7 Days Time, we dig tradition, especially around the holidays. So this Christmas, I wanted to re-gift a lil somethin’ somethin’. (Hope you aren’t offended. At least it’s not a fruitcake.) This is a tiny reminder of WHY we celebrate this wonderful holiday. We are free to celebrate thanks to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and our beloved American Military.
A Christmas Salute to you all!!

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the base,
Soldiers were last-minute shopping,
Running all over the place.
It has been a crazy year,
Full of missions and drills,
But through serving their country,
Their hearts were fulfilled. [Read more…]
Have you ever thought about how something so teeny tiny can really throw your life in a tizzy?
Consider this… Just missing a payment or two of a school loan can really jack with your credit score. Going just a few miles per hour over the speed limit can impact your driving record when the cop writes out that fateful ticket. Olympic races are sometimes won and lost in just milliseconds.
Sin in our lives is the same way. Just a little “tiny” one, if left unattended, it can really mess with our lives. (Sidenote: there are not “big” and “small” sins… A sin is a sin is a sin. But I think we sometimes consider some “smaller” than others as a means of justifying our actions. But that’s another blog post. Anywho…) I personally think having unrepented sin in our lives is like having a splinter in our finger. [Read more…]
Greetings once again, dearest readers, and welcome to another exciting and heart-motivating edition of “Everyday Jesus.” I am so blessed to introduce you to Amy, a fellow writer and sister in Christ. We are not only friends in the digital world, but real-life friends as well, since we traveled to SheSpeaks conference in North Carolina last year. (And created lots of inside jokes in the process.) I pray that you show Amy the love today both here at 7 Days Time and also over at her place via comments and encouragement.
Are you ready? It’s time to jump in…

Have you ever had a message or a theme seem to just jump on board your life for a period of time? That happened to me recently as I prepared for my annual day apart with God. The theme was water.
I prayed that God would give me a picture to begin this day. He did. [Read more…]
Merry Christmas, beloved readers, followers and supporters!
Last year, I wrote a poem for you… and since this ministry has grown leaps and bounds over the last 12 months (thanks, Jesus) I wanted to re-gift it. (Hope you aren’t offended. At least it’s not a fruitcake.) This is a tiny reminder of WHY we celebrate this wonderful holiday. We are free to celebrate thanks to two different sources: Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and our beloved American Soldier.
Christmas love and blessings to you all!

After a 3 week hiatus, Five Minute Friday is BACK over here at 7 Days Time.
I will give you a moment to compose yourself. 🙂
Five Minute Friday is simple. And fun. It’s like a writing flash mob. Each Friday, I pop over and link up with The Gypsy Mama Lisa-Jo Baker. She gives us a prompt. Then we write. For five minutes flat.
No over thinking. No editing. Pure, word-flowing, Jesus inspired writing.
And very appropriate for a Friday.
So now… Let’s get this party started!
Todays prompt: BEYOND
GO! [Read more…]
I was never a crier. I was the tough girl. I once went through an entire semester at college without crying.
And then I fell in love. With a soldier. And with Jesus.
At one point in my life, my heart was hardened. I was not compassionate and completely confident that I could make “it” on my own. Tears were not an issue. I had it together.
And then I feel in love. With a soldier. And with Jesus. [Read more…]
“YOUNG LADY! You march over here RIGHT NOW and tell your sister you are sorry.”
Shuffle…shuffle…stomp. SIGH.
“Mmsrry.”
“Oh no, that’s not good enough. SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!”
Sigh. (Again.) FINE.
“I’m sorry.”
How is that two little words can be so difficult to say? [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...
