Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Don’t be afraid… Just Trust

January 13, 2014 by

I saw a quote recently (I think it was on Pinterest) that said, “Cookies with raisins in them are the reason I have trust issues.”

I laughed. Because it’s true. There’s been times where I was overjoyed to chomp down on a warm, soft chocolate chip cookie only to have my heart shatter in a million tiny pieces when I realized that those dark brown spots were not in fact bits of heaven in milk chocolate form, but rather dried fruit.

And I am only being SLIGHTLY mellow dramatic here.

But honestly, I have trust issues that go deeper than the age-old chocolate chip vs. raisin debacle. [Read more…]

Here’s to Risking Rejection

January 8, 2014 by

Ok, peeps. I hope you brought your big girl (or boy) pants. Cuz it’s about to get real all up in here today.

I have dragged my feet writing this post. I have kept a secret locked away deep in my heart, telling only four other living souls. But now, thanks to the continual (loving) prodding from God and my friend Amy’s invitation to link-up and get “risky” in 2014, here goes nothing.

(Wait. I think I need a puke bucket. Nope, false alarm.)

So. Here’s my big secret. My risk. The exciting-terrifying call God has placed on my heart. [Read more…]

Twas the Military Night Before Christmas

December 23, 2013 by

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!!
SGK

*****

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…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Delivered from our Troubles

December 2, 2013 by

Ug. We’ve all had those days.

You know, the days where things are just not going well.  Maybe the baby is sick. Perhaps you realize you are out of a key ingredient for your crockpot supper. Or it’s still 10 days til payday and you can’t help but wonder how close you are going to cut it this time. Maybe you left the windows down on your car and now it’s raining. Or as you drove to work today, you were greeted by red and white flashing lights in your rear-view. (I thought the light was yellow???)

We are weary. Short-tempered. Ready to throw in the towel, lock ourselves in the bathroom with a glass of wine and/or a serving (or 12) of dark chocolate.

Life’s everyday troubles. We have to deal with them. But we DON’T have to let them define us. [Read more…]

Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Stay with God~Don’t Quit.

September 30, 2013 by

Henry Blackaby said “Waiting is one of the hardest yet most important things we will ever do as Christians.”

I, personally, think that’s an understatement.

Think to yourself about how much time you spend waiting…

Waiting for the traffic light to turn green… 

Waiting for the microwave to beep so you can enjoy those delicious leftovers…  [Read more…]

Get Fixed Up (Five Minute Friday)

July 26, 2013 by

Hi friends.

After several weeks of sketchy hotel internet, it appears that my on-the-spot Five Minute Friday writing dealio might just work. (But just to make sure, I am throwing out a few prayers. Lil’ help here, J-man.)

Let’s give it a shot.

Quick Five Minute Friday (FMF) background in case you missed the memo. Each week I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker (whose blog/internet is ALSO on the fritz today,) she gives us a prompt and we write– for five minutes.

Simple as that.
