Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
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…]
Life happens. (Profound statement, right? Or not.)
You know what I’m talking about. The life “stuff” that is good, meh and “Are-you-kidding-me?!!”
It all happens. But really… our daily circumstances are neutral. Our reaction to them actually determines which category they fall into.
So today’s question: On a scale of one to ten– how much are you prepared to handle?
Believe it or not, we can all be closer to ten if we are truly prePRAYERed. [Read more…]
Confession: (Gulp.) I used to think it was all about me.
Ouch. That hurts my heart just to write it.
For all of you sweet readers out there that perhaps did not watch me grow up (or grow up with me for that matter) let me explain just a bit. I wasn’t the fashionable girl. (And I’m still not- although I received some coaching in this department in college—thanks Kally.) I wasn’t the super-duper popular girl. (And I am still not. Which I am ok with—being popular looks like a lot of work.) However, I was the overachieving girl who always wanted to be “the funny one.”
Being funny was my way of getting attention. (Plus it was a way for people to see my personality instead of my overweight teenage body.) Overachieving was my way of getting attention for “good things.” Me, me, me—it was all about me. My plans. My schedule. My life.
And then Jesus thumped me (lovingly, of course) between the eyes. [Read more…]
My feet gently hit the pavement, in rhythm with the tiny “click, clack” of puppy paws. Although my mind wonders, my eyes are focused. They scan the horizon and then dart back to the ground. Just as we round the last block, a bright glint catches in my eye… there it is… [Read more…]
Sometimes in life, we find ourselves tied up in mess.
Perhaps it’s a big mess.
And when we end up in aforementioned life mess, rarely is it “on purpose.”
Actually it reminds me of one of my favorite childhood responses when questioned about why I ate dog food/made my sister stick her tongue to a frozen iron pole/blended up a spatula in a batch of zucchini brownies…
“Um, it was an accident.” [Read more…]
Today’s blog post is brought to you by little green army men, our pup Sweet Justus and a fun sense-of-humor-laden family project…
I scan my list… Do I have everything? What if I forget something? I swallow the lump that is growing in my throat. My heart starts to beat faster. I glance down at my watch… Should I leave now? Or do I have more time?
If you have been hanging out with me here at 7 Days Time for a while, you have figured out that I am something of a worrywart. Honestly, it is super annoying and exhausting. Fortunately, God has used 2012 (and a majority of my adult life) to slowly but surely start weaning me from worrying. But he’s not done yet. [Read more…]
Sometimes you have to be knocked down to get your balance. Or perhaps you need to be broken into pieces before you experience real peace.
I love it when God reveals concepts in a new and fresh way… which is exactly what happened to me last week.
My emotions, fears, hopes, feelings have been all over the board in the last couple of weeks. But during my quiet time last Thursday, God gave me a revelation that literally changed my life.
The amount of peace in your life is directly proportionate to the extent in which you trust God. [Read more…]
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…]
It's been awhile since we have posted a fresh Factor of 7 here at 7 Days Time. We've done a few small ones over the last several months, but we wanted to share one of most recent random acts of kindness with you. Because it was fun. And hey, who … Interested? Read on...
