Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
“Those” days come at me without warning.
I gracefully glide out of bed (yeah right– more like roll out with a groan) and shuffle to the kitchen.
(I try to shuffle quietly because our son’s room is right there. I’m a shuffling, covert, early morning ninja).
I fire up the espresso machine (we fondly call him Juan Valdez) and will Juan to be as quiet as possible.
Finally, the manna from heaven in a cup is ready.
I take a sip and… GAK. Coffee grounds. [Read more…]
Welcome to Wilco Wednesday! If you are a new around these parts, “Wilco” is Army-speak for “Will Comply.” Think of it as saying “Roger, God. Got it. Will do.” So that is what Wednesday here at 7 Days Time is all about– exploring his decrees and seeking guidance for what complying with Him looks like in everyday life. The best part? He loves us for who we are, not what we do. Remember: He doesn’t want perfection, just obedience. Share. Enjoy. Interact. Welcome today’s guest blogger, my dear friend, encourager, and wise counselor, Carriann.

I watched aid workers receive refugees on the shores of a dark, icy sea. Huge, hot, tears streamed down my cheeks as I took the scene into my heart. Tears of joy, tears of sorrow.
Many worked to wrap blankets around the injured, the cold, the very young and the very old. Mothers and fathers with resigned brown eyes fed their children, drank water, gathered them up after a rest and walked out. What compelled them to move away from rest so quickly?
Terror. People who know there is a difference between leaving and escaping move with haste. When a million miles is not enough distance between you and evil that hunts you, haunts you—you keep moving.
On my knees, I sought God’s will for our part in his plan to rescue them. [Read more…]

So yeah. It’s no secret that I am stubborn.
And one area of stubbornness God has been working on me in the last few years is this area of having “The Last Word.”
Fortunately, I don’t have the last word– and neither does the enemy. Check out the following video blog for a little something something to encourage your heart today.

So friends… How does this “Last Word” concept strike you? How can we make it more of a truth in our lives as we walk with Jesus? Join the conversation and leave a comment.
Remember, no matter how hard we are fighting or how defeated we feel, the enemy doesn’t have that last word.
Jesus does.
Finalized by Christ,
” ‘The word of my master, the king, will be the last word in this, for my master is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil.’” ~1 Samuel 14:17 MSG
Loading InLinkz ...Hi friends! I am taking a quick breather from creating new material on Wednesdays as I prep for an upcoming conference and lay some foundational leadership work with a one of my local organizations. I was digging through the archives and found this post worthy of a re-share. I pray you enjoy it! Thanks for the grace.

There are few things more awkward in this world than not recognizing someone… especially when they seem to know you so well.
We’ve all be there. We are walking through the grocery store or exploring the county fair, when suddenly, from across the way, someone waves enthusiastically and shouts our name.
We glance at them and… Nothing. “Who the heck is that?” We wonder. We respond, pseudo-confidently. “Um, oh hey… YOU…” [Read more…]
