Merry Christmas, Friends.
Love,
Thank you for your Son’s Breath…

Home is Where Jesus Calls You
October 30, 2013 by
You’ve probably heard your share of “homey” quotes…
“Home is where the heart is.” “Home Sweet Home.” “Home is where you hang your hat.” “There’s no place like home” (Wizard of Oz, what, what!)
Ah, home. It conjures up all sorts of apple-pie-wafting, couch-snuggling, T.G.I.F sitcom watching (does anybody else remember the T.G.I.F television programming?) images of joy. [Read more…]
Made to Last (Five Minute Friday)
August 23, 2013 by
‘Sup, friends.
It’s Friday. (In case you missed the memo.) And over here at 7 Days Time, Fridays only mean one thing: It’s time to link up with Lisa-Jo Baker and join in to the Five Minute Friday flash mob writing party.
Here’s the skinny: Lisa-Jo gives us a prompt. Then we write. For five minutes.
That’s it. Simple enough, yes?
So, let’s get going.
Today’s prompt: LAST
AND GO! [Read more…]
Ultra-Sound-Off for Jesus
February 27, 2013 by
It’s always encouraging when God takes us in our ugliest, yuckiest, grumpiest moments and uses us for His glory.
That happened to me last week. In a big way.
Last Friday, I was scheduled for what I was *hoping* to be my last baby doctor appointment before our Little Patriot’s arrival. I was about 39 and a half weeks along… and unfortunately, the doc’s predictions of me delivering “ahead of schedule” hadn’t come true. (SIGH.) [Read more…]
Christ-mas, Christ-More (Just in case you forgot)
December 26, 2012 by
We hear it all the time– we need to celebrate the real reason for the season. It’s true, but really, I think we hear it so much that it doesn’t quite have the meaning that is used to… (Sad, I know… but alas…)
So this year, I want to share with you a little reminder and share with you what we did for our families this year for Christmas. Its edited and updated from a similar post this time last year… Hope it makes you think– and I would love your feedback. Comment below.
Ready? Let’s do this… [Read more…]
Comfort from Community (Five Minute Friday)
April 27, 2012 by
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?
- Less pressure to get it right (or at least “perfect”)
- It is a great conditioning tool and change of pace from normal posts (AKA: I write for 5 minutes flat… and don’t have to come up with a topic of my own)
- It’s on Friday. So what’s not to love??
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.”

Joy in the Mourning
April 9, 2012 by
It’s the day after Easter, folks… This means that in addition to Easter candy going on sale today (YAY!) and most church workers being tired after working like crazy yesterday, lent has ended for another year.
What did your 40 days bring? Mine were… um… profound. [Read more…]
Fresh Cut of Joy
March 5, 2012 by
Annnddd… It’s Monday.
Before you pull a Garfield the Cat move by grabbing a big pan of lasagna, pulling the covers back over your head and muttering “I hate Mondays!” hang with me for just a second.
I’m not a big fan of Mondays either. I have grown to tolerate them, but honestly, what choice did I have? (Turns out employers are not super big supporters of employees who desire to boycott Mondays on a weekly basis. Just kidding.) I have learned to embrace Mondays (and every other day for that matter) because I seek to find new, fresh little cuts of joy in everything around me. [Read more…]
Song in My Heart
September 18, 2011 by
Music rocks my world. Literally.
I have always liked listening to music and discovered in the 5th grade that that I could sing ok-ish. (much to my surprise as well as our elementary/middle school choir.) My first ever solo performance was the “Somewhere Out There” from The American Tail: Fieval Goes West. [Read more…]
