I-Witness News Story #EverydayJesus

September 3, 2015 by Sharita

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: After this post publishes, I am taking a brief spiritual pause from blogging– just for a couple of weeks. We are on leave (finally!) this year and I feel compelled to actively pursue my OneWord of Rest. I will be back soon… Thanks for the grace 🙂

Confession: I rarely watch the news.

Sure, I try to stay semi-in-the-loop-ish when it comes to major current events, but the fact that we do not have cable in our house is no accident. I don’t even like to watch the news on the TV at the gym. All it does is stir up anxiety in my heart, make me roll my eyes and whisper under my breath, “Lord Jesus, if you come right now, it will be none too soon.” #HurryUpLord

Our fallen world is a mess. We witness heartbreaking news with every change of the channel or with every scroll of our finger on Facebook. Very rarely do newscasters seek out “eyewitnesses” to share actual GOOD news. [Read more…]

The Vision #WilcoWednesday

January 7, 2015 by Sharita

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. And let’s respond to God’s call with a hearty “Wilco, Lord!”

A bit of background for this first Wilco Wednesday Post: God has recently called me to fill the role at Spiritual Life 1st Vice President in our local Protestant Women of the Chapel (PWOC.) This was a message he placed on my heart for the vision of our organization. Not surprisingly, it applies to much more than our local PWOC– perhaps it applies to our personal walk with Christ!

I do not have a green thumb. I have tried all my life to grow various vegetation and the results were less than impressive. It was all I could do to keep Enrique the Spider Plant alive through college and Chloe the Peace Lily semi-sustained in the early years of army wife life. Fortunately, God hasn’t called me to a life of horticulture.

He has called me to a life of Jesus-culture, one that comes alongside other seekers and believers to encourage, build up and teach them as they find Him in their everyday. All my life, I have loved people, and in the last three and a half years in ministry, He has gradually cultivated a deep passion for the women who love Him. [Read more…]

Planned with Purpose (Anxiety-Free Monday, Wk #8)

October 29, 2012 by Sharita

I am not a huge fan of cleaning.

I mean, I try to keep our house in decent-ish order, as in keeping the dishes contained to their sink/cabinet areas and preventing any accidental science experiments from growing in the back of the fridge.

However, as much as I loathe the day-to-day cleaning experiences, I do occasionally get in a mood to sort, organize and purge. In those moments, nothing can stop me from tearing apart the nearest coat closet or office desk drawer.

As an army family, we move a lot– and when we move, that is the ideal time to clean. And purge. [Read more…]

Wake Up & See (Five Minute Friday)

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… Ok, at least the moment I really look forward to all week– It’s Five Minute Friday!

For those of you just joining our 7 Days Time Journey… Each Friday, I link up with The Gypsy Mama. She gives us a prompt. Then we write. For five minutes flat. No overthinking, no excessive editing.
