Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Oh hey there, readers. Didn’t see you there. Welcome!
Thanks so much for stopping by on this lovely Friday. Pull up a chair. Grab your favorite Friday beverage. And maybe a snack.
It’s time for Five Minute Friday.
In short: Each Friday, I link up with Lisa-Jo , our favorite “Gypsy Mama.” She gives us a prompt. Then we write. Unscripted. Unedited. For Five. Minutes. Flat.
Simple. As. That. 
Ready? Let’s do this.
Today’s prompt: DANCE
GO! [Read more…]
I’ve been to my fair share of retreats and camps.
Back in my younger days, my retreat/camping experiences revolved around organizations like FFA (National Blue and Corn Gold, baby!) Alpha of Clovia Scholarship house, Blue Key and Agricultural Ambassadors. But it didn’t matter what organization I went “retreating” with, “recreation” was always on the schedule. [Read more…]
Balloons…Games…Cake…Hats…Loud noises…music… laughter…chaos…sugar…presents…toys…pictures.
Kid birthday parties rock.
When I was little, birthday parties were practically the highlight of my life. (It ranked right up there with our annual trip to the Missouri State Fair and calving season.) It didn’t even have to be MY birthday party… just the prospect of socializing, games and CAKE were enough to make us talk about upcoming party for weeks. [Read more…]
It’s Friday… AGAIN?!!?
Not that I’m complainin’ of course. Yay for the weekend!
Friday is such a fun time here at 7 Days Time. Each week I link up with Lisa-Jo for Five Minute Friday. She gives us a prompt. Then we write. For five minutes flat. Without overthinking or drafting or editing. Just letting the words flow and see what God has to say.
It’s challenging. It’s fun. It’s (usually) enlightening.
And it encourages me personally not to strive for perfection– but instead, simple and immediate obedience.
Today’s Prompt: RISK
GO! [Read more…]
Alas, loyal followers… another Friday tis upon us! (Not quite sure why I am talking like that…)
Ahem. Check. Check. Ah. Ok, that’s better.
Anywho… It’s Friday. And Friday means that I link up with The Gypsy Mama for Five Minute Friday. She gives us a prompt, then we engage in what I like to call a finger sprint. We write for five minutes flat, no over thinking, no editing. Just write. We let the words flow and see where we go. (Look at me rhyming on a Friday.)
Sorry bout the squirrelly behavior. I need to cut back on the caffeine I guess.
I should probably get started before I embarrass myself. (More than I already have.)
Todays prompt: IDENTITY
AND GO! [Read more…]
Good morning, America! (Or should I say “world?” Fun fact: 7 Days Time ministry has grown and we actually have legit and semi-regular readers in other countries. Thanks for that one, Jesus!)
Anywho, today is one of my favorite blogging days of the week. That’s right– it’s Five Minute Friday. Top three reasons why its my fav?
Every week, I link up with The Gypsy Mama… She gives us a prompt, then we go to town with our writing. Today’s prompt: “COMMUNITY.”
Annndddd GO! [Read more…]
We waited for this precious experience every single day.
Small children snarfing down their lunch, tater tots flying, ketchup splattering, milk dribbling. We were racing against the clock. We had to get to recess.
Sure, recess came three times a day throughout my years of very early youth. But the length after-lunch recess was solely dependent on our ability to inhale our food and power walk from the cafeteria to the outside door. (Note: Sometimes a second grader’s definition of “not running” is different than the principal’s definition. And you had to walk that line carefully, or the five minutes you spent in the office during recess for “running” would nearly break your heart. Not that I would know.) [Read more…]
The sun was bearing down on our necks. I tried to smoothly fan my armpits to make sure sweat didn’t show. I peered around the dude wearing huge flowered shirt in front of me, who was eating a corndog and funnel cake at the same time.
Was this line EVER going to move? HURRY. UP.
Those were the days of theme park rides. I have to say that I have (sadly) grown out of that thrill, but for a teenager, “riding rides” was as good as it got. (Sidenote: unless you have a super strong stomach, don’t eat a corn dog and funnel cake right before you get on a ride that is name something along the lines of “Roller Coaster of Doom…” you will most likely embarrass yourself and gross out everyone around you. Just sayin.) [Read more…]
God sure is a sneaky (awesome) dude sometimes.
You may be asking yourself what I mean. Well, I had another moment from this weekend at CCC’s Women’s Retreat that involved God not only working overtime but also revealing some cool new “tools” in my ministry arsenal. Apparently, I can paint fingernails. Who knew, right? Not this girl. [Read more…]
