At Work Before We See It #EverydayJesus

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! 

PS: Just as a heads up, I will be on a “Blogging Vacation” for the next 10 days or so as I am co-facilitating a national conference in Kentucky, then spending some time with family in Kansas. So until then, be blessed!

When things fall apart, it is so, SO easy to start doubting God.

His love. His plan. His purpose.

But if I have learned one thing in my years walking (ok, sometimes barely stumbling) with Jesus, it is that He is always behind the scenes at work long before we see it.

He is like the guy who is the first one to clock in each day and the last one to leave. (Only He doesn’t take vacations or extended lunch breaks.)

I remember an experience from a few years ago where now I see that God was at work, long before we saw it. [Read more…]

21 Truths: God Is Sovereign

I must admit that sometimes I don’t have all the answers.

Google is one of my best friends when it comes to the mundane questions that I have: Can you eat sour cream past its expiration date? How can I keep moss from growing in my yard? What are the symptoms of a mold allergy?

Especially when it comes to the hard stuff.

Like the questions I am asked as a minister. [Read more…]

If God Wasn’t In Charge (Printable)

A lot of junky, yucky painful things happen in this world.

Perhaps that is why this joint isn’t heaven? (Thankfully!)

But even amid the pain, trial and suffering, we have a great truth to cling to: God is in charge of this whole show. Every tiny moment.

If He wasn’t in charge, I would be scared. But He is in charge, so I’m not worried. 

Today, I wanted to share with you a printable with that simple truth. Please feel free to share this with your friends. Just click on the blue PDF link to download, print and display. [Read more…]

Three Step Game Plan

I don’t know about you, but I enjoy a good list. That’s right, I am a list maker and checker-offer. I have a color-coded white board right inside the front entryway of our house to keep track of my masters homework and general “To Do” stuff. I have virtual “sticky notes” on the desktop of my computer. And don’t even get me started on making grocery lists. Yes, I am THAT girl that, if things are uber busy/crazy and I do something that WASN’T on my list that perhaps was semi-profound, I write it down after it is completed THEN check it off or erase it. I know. I need help. It’s on my list 😉 [Read more…]
