God-Sized Dreams 2017

January 11, 2017 by

I know, I know… I probably sound like a broken record by now… Every year, I say how EXCITED I am for the New Year– mainly because I get to start a new focus area with my main-man Jesus.

But it’s true. New God-Sized dreams just AMP. ME. UP. (Seriously. Somebody should check my pulse rate, even as I sit here and WRITE about them!)

Last week, you read about my God-Sized dreams for 2016 recap… How things went, what was accomplished (or not so much.) Today, I am sharing where Jesus might be taking me in 2017.

So let’s get down to it, shall we?  [Read more…]

God-Sized Dreams 2016– RECAP

January 4, 2017 by

I have probably mentioned it on here before… But I will say it again– the New Year is one of my favorite moments.

Not because I stay up late to welcome in the new year (because I don’t– at least not on purpose.) It’s not because I have an affinity for a celebratory adult beverage. (Um, hello… Still preggo. And so Young Living NingXia Red was my “stiff drink” of choice.)

It’s because each new year gives me an opportunity to reflect on where I’ve been and where God has taken me the last year… And maybe seek a few glimpses of where my Jesus-Journey might take me in the next 365 days. [Read more…]

Recap: OneWord 2016 (TRUTH)

December 26, 2016 by

2016 has been… well… interesting.

That is really the best word I can come up with to describe it, at least for our family. It hasn’t been bad, it hasn’t been great, it’s just been… Interesting. Or maybe intense. You know. Like camping. (Get it? In-tents? Pretty sure I’ve used that pun/joke on here before.)

There’s been some hard moments, some joyous moments, and A LOT of moments that involved initial confusion then subsequent personal growth.

So yeah. 2016 has been interesting.  [Read more…]

God-Sized Dreams… And How They Change Us (Part 2)

January 15, 2016 by

Dreaming makes me happy. Oh so happy.

And excited. And giddy. And hopeful.

That’s why I love the New Year so much. Such an exciting time of renewal and freshness.

This week, I am chatting about my God-sized dreams. On Monday, I shared the very cool dreamy journey God took me on in 2015. If you missed it, no worries. Check it out here.

And now comes one of my favorite parts of blog writing: Revealing my NEW God-sized dreams.

Ready? (I hope so, because I can’t wait any longer!!) [Read more…]

God-Sized Dreams… And How They Change Us (Part 1)

January 11, 2016 by

It’s likely that if you have ever met me in person or been around 7 Days Time for a hot minute, you know a few things about me (in no particular order):

  1. I am a Jesus writer, speaker and spiritual leadership coach.
  2. I am an army wife.
  3. I am a toddler’s mama.
  4. I am a nerd.

I feel like we should sing that song from Sesame Street, “One of these things is not like the other.”

But honestly, they all fit together really well.

I don’t know when “nerd” picked up a negative connotation (probably in the 90’s– Thanks, Nerdstrom in Saved by the Bell) but I am on a mission to redefine “nerd” into something positive. And slightly humorous. [Read more…]

January 29, 2015 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day! 

***

If you have been around here for a few moments, you probably already know a few things about me.

I pretend to run. I love chocolate, reading, new journals and inky pens.

And I am a dreamer. Not the kind of dreamer that my husband regularly makes fun of my for like the weird stuff that comes into my head when I am sleeping (“Ok, so there I was with Abe Lincoln, a beaver and a giraffe…”) I mean the kind of dreamer who loves imagining the “What’s Next?” that God has for me.

Every year for as long as I can remember, I have always had new goals/resolutions/etc for the New Year. But 2014 was the first year that I literally mapped out some “God-sized Dreams,” per the inspiration of my URL friend Holley Gerth.  [Read more…]

F.R.E.S.H Prints of Faith (Printable)

January 4, 2015 by

Ah friends. This is the third new year that our ministry has rang in while serving at the feet of Jesus.

It’s awesome. It’s exciting. And even after several years, we are still seeking to keep it F.R.E.S.H by finding the fingerprints of God on our everyday.

Get it? F.R.E.S.H Prints? You are welcome. #SoPunny

As you face this new year, perhaps with new God-sized dreams or a stirring from the Lord for your walk with Him, start off strong, then follow these steps to keep things F.R.E.S.H all year long.

Ready? Time to look for some F.R.E.S.H Prints in our faith. [Read more…]

Go for the Goal

December 23, 2014 by

Goal AWN

It comes around every 365 days.

We gather up the remnants of the Christmas decorations and pray that all of the stuff fits back in the box. We reflect. We hope. We dream about all things new. Specifically, the New Year.

Many people make resolutions to ring in the New Year. Personally, resolutions don’t do much for me because they just seem so… Disposal. Thirty-three seconds after I make a resolution, my resolve fails and instead of hitting the treadmill at the gym, I am raiding the cabinets looking for a treat.

Due to my achieving nature, I like to speak a language that I embrace, which is why I forego the stereotypically short-lived resolutions. I set goals.   [Read more…]

The Christian Runner’s Creed

July 29, 2014 by

If you have been hanging around 7 Days Time this year, you know that God has calling me to do some pretty outrageous things… At least for this girl who formerly hated running with a passion.

Yes, He has called me to become a runner. This year, by the complete grace, power and strength of Jesus, I have went from a gal who couldn’t run a mile to someone who ran a 10K (6.2 miles) and then also recently completed my first half-marathon (13.1 miles.)

I think I have become a crazy person… If not a crazy person in general, at least one who is more and more crazy about Jesus every single day. [Read more…]

When God Says Run (#EverydayJesus link up)

June 19, 2014 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day! 

***

I have learned that when God speaks, I better listen.

This year he spoke to me and I perked up… Then quickly deflated at what I thought He said.

“Um, hey there God… Can you repeat that? I think we have a bad connection because I just thought I heard you tell me to become a runner… And something about running a half-marathon? Come again, please.” [Read more…]
