Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
This year, 2017, will mark the sixth year that I have been doing the OneWord Challenge.
Considering this will also be my sixth year of blogging for Jesus here at 7 Days Time, you can imagine I have a variety of posts on the subject.
But, in case you are new to this faith-based party, let me catch you up… [Read more…]
What is your most memorable moment of anticipation?
You know, those times when you were so excited that you literally couldn’t sleep? Or when you would think about an upcoming experience and your heart would race?
I had a majority of those experiences when I was younger. (Something about the responsibility of adulting that makes care-free anticipation more difficult… but I am working on it…) [Read more…]
When I first started blogging nearly four years ago (WHAT?!? 4 years already!?) I really didn’t know what I was getting into.
I thought I would just be sharing a few Jesus-y thoughts and encouraging others.
Which I do. And for that I am grateful. But this online ministry gig is so much more.
See friends, it is a ministry to myself.
Not only do reading my words at a later date realign my heart focus and challenge me to find Jesus in my everyday, but I have also met some incredible friends here. [Read more…]

This is the fourth consecutive year that God has called me to choose a “One Word” to focus on for 12 whole months.
And while this word totally makes sense for me, this very well could be the most challenging yet.
In 2012, He called me to TRUST.
2013, I needed to STAND.
Last year in 2014, was all about GROW.
And now, a seasonal culmination of all my One Word journey in 2015: REST. [Read more…]
I love new things.
The smell that wafts through the pages of a new book.
The swish of a new dress that hangs perfectly from my ever-changing frame.
The first stroke of a new inky pen on the first page of a new journal.
The joy that wells as I master a new skill.
I love new everything.
As Christ followers, we have the opportunity to experience that newness within our hearts every single day. No new outfit, haircut or notebook required. [Read more…]
Ah, friends.
I am super-dee-dang-o-dee-duper excited to write this post today. (Seriously, I am. That’s not computer sarcasm.)
This post has been several weeks in the making, primarily because I have been praying about my One Word for this new year all that time.
And today is the big reveal. After much prayer and research, I excitedly announce my One Word for 2014 is… [Read more…]
With just a couple weeks left in 2013, tis that time of year for reflection.
It’s sure been a year. Whew. I think I need a nap. Or maybe some caffeine.
While it has been a busy year full of changes, it has also been a blessed year. Not just in circumstances (we have had our fair share of challenges) but really in heart growth toward Jesus.
My “One Word for 2013″ really contributed to that incredible growth. [Read more…]
I remember singing that old (as in 1993!) country song by Aaron Tippin.
He’d say you’ve got to stand for somethin’ or you’ll fall for anything
You’ve got to be your own man, not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what’s right and uphold your family name
You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything
Back when I was a little girl, I didn’t really give much thought to those lyrics. But now, “standing” for “something” has a totally different meaning for me. [Read more…]
Believe it or not, one word can make quite a difference in a conversation, in a blog post, and yes, even in a life.
I participated in the “One Word” challenge for the first time in 2012. For the entire 12 months, God helped me to learn, grow and be shaped around the word “Dependence.”
Now that 2013 is upon us (Happy New Year, by the way!) it is time for a new challenge.
I’ve been praying for the last month or so for my new word… And today is the big reveal… READY?
Drum roll please… [Read more…]
What a year! 2012 has been a year of challenge, growth and triumph… All thanks to God and my “Word” for 2012~ Dependence.

Do you TRULY depend on God for everything? If yes, what does that look like? If no, what can you change? Did you have a word for 2012? If so, how did it turn out? What’s next in store for you in 2013? You feedback always blesses me… Comment below! [Read more…]
