Hidden Ah-Ha’s: Good and Faithful Servant
December 16, 2013 by
Some days I simply CANNOT wait until I get to heaven.
Now don’t take that the wrong way. I’m not looking for an early way out or anything. But on my bad AND good days, sometimes the idea of heaven is so intoxicating.
Our hearts desire to be there. A place with no pain. A place with no sad tears. A place with no suffering. And most of all… a place with JESUS. [Read more…]
Reflection of Redemption (Five Minute Friday)
December 6, 2013 by
Greetings all! It’s Five Minute Friday time… Whoot!
In short: Each Friday (OK, any Friday that my tiny 9-month-old baby human will allow) I link-up with Lisa Jo Baker. She gives us a prompt. And we write.
For, yep, you guessed it- five minutes.
It’s not something we over think or excessively edit. We just write. And it’s always a joy (and sometimes surprising) to see what happens.)
So let’s get moving.
Today’s prompt: REFLECT
AND GO! [Read more…]

September 5, 2013 by
Greetings, all. And happy Friday.
Here at 7 Days Time, Fridays can only mean one thing… It’s time to link up with Lisa-Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday.
It works a lil something like this: Lisa-Jo gives us a prompt. Then we write. For five minutes. No overthinking or strategizing. Just write.
Pretty simple, yes?
Then let’s get this party started.
Today’s prompt: RED

Chocolate & Jesus

When the going gets tough… the tough get going.
Now, let’s tweak that statement a bit… Complete it with YOUR word… what do you desire/need/turn to when things get tough?
Here are a few of my potential examples.
When the going gets tough… the tough get frustrated.
When the going gets tough… the tough get take-out. (I’m an emotional eater. What can I say?)
When the going gets tough… the tough get snippy. (Not proud of this one—but it’s true.)
When the going gets tough… the tough get chocolate. (No explanation necessary, right?) [Read more…]
Bubble Wrap Faith
May 15, 2013 by
Oh bubble wrap. The magical packing material that has been causing squabbles among siblings for decades.
Or was that just my sister and I who fought over who got to pop those addictingly-fun little bubbles? Either way, ya just gotta love the multi-purposeful qualities of bubble wrap. [Read more…]
Embrace the Suck
May 8, 2013 by
Sometimes, life sucks.
Yeah, I said it. And yeah, I said it on a Jesus-loving Christian blog.
But its the truth. Sometimes life sucks.
We live in a world of pain. Of hurt. Of disease. Of evil. Of hard circumstances. Of moments where we wonder how the heck we are supposed to continue to function.
“Sucky” things in life range from the seemingly small and trivial (I lost my stupid wallet– again!) to the painfully large and unexplainable (Sandy Hook school shooting. Boston bombing. Explosion in Texas.)
So yeah, it’s the truth. Sometimes life really just kinda sucks. [Read more…]
Jesus’ Funniest Videos
April 24, 2013 by
Let’s all be honest… Sometimes life is HILARIOUS.
I grew up watching America’s Funniest Home Videos (originally with Bob Saget.) While I never really understood why people thought that dudes getting hit in their uh, nether regions was so funny, I still enjoyed it. Plus it was relatively family friendly.
For me, most of the funniest things came from young kids.
Which brings me to share with you some of the hilarious things I did when I was younger. (Too bad we didn’t get them on tape. Maybe we would be a few thousand bucks richer?) [Read more…]
Jump to Jesus (Five Minute Friday)
April 19, 2013 by
Hello friends! Five minute Friday is back here at 7 Days Time.
As a recap: Each Friday (or whatever Fridays that I briefly have a free hand from baby girl) I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker. She gives us a prompt. We write. No planning, no overthinking, no excessive editing. Then link-up and share our posts with the online community. Good times.
That’s all there is to it. Simple. Yet potentially profound and a great writing exercise.
So before little girl says TIME’S UP before my stopwatch does, let’s get this party started.
Today’s Prompt: JUMP
AND GO! [Read more…]
Hardly Easy
March 20, 2013 by
There it sits. Staring you right in the face. Your heart starts to pound. Your mind begins to race.
Should you grab the donut or opt for a fruit cup? Would it be ok to sneak a peek at the answer key to an upcoming test or spend hours studying? Will you turn in the lost wallet with all the cash or take a “tip” for yourself beforehand? Shall you strap on your tennis shoes and head to the gym for a work out or stay planted on the couch? Are you going to stay snuggled under the covers for a few more minutes of snoozing or peel yourself out of bed for some quiet time with the Lord?
You must make a choice… but what will it be?? [Read more…]
