Wardrobe Woes…SOLVED!
Jul 04, 2013ARG! I have gone into my closet a million times this week and I keep thinking, “I have NOTHING TO WEAR!” I feel like a middle school girl complaining to my mom, complete with a pouty groan and whiney tone when I tell my friend I’m running late (again!) because I can’t “find anything to […]

Jul 02, 2013Do you ever wake up, have a quiet time and walk away feeling guilty? As if you didn’t spend enough time with the Lord? Am I the only one? I get this feeling a lot. No matter how much time I put in, there is this crazy standard in my head that can’t be met. […]

Jun 30, 2013Oh my goodness, I’m full!! I woke up this way. Uncomfortable really. The fact is, I’ve just had a fantastic week. Spent it on the seven seas – a cruise to Alaska with my entire family. My parents, siblings and our spouses had the chance to minister to the nearly 300 people that joined us […]

Jun 27, 2013In singleville, the summer is the time to shine! Quite literally (unfortunately) at times, as the temps soar past 100 degrees.

Jun 25, 2013Ok. So there has been a theme to all my blog posts lately…Scripture. I’ve been buried under, meditating on, soaking in, breathing deep, memorizing crazy, Scripture. And it has been non-stop. I’m not so sure what started this fiendish thirst, but I’m not […]
Read MoreCommunity in Love
Jun 23, 2013Community is hard. It’s messy. It’s beautiful. AND it’s dangerous. “Dangerous?” you say. Yes, DANGEROUS. Because when I am in community, everyone can see all of my junk. And eventually, my junk gets in the way of someone else knowing God. It’s hard to have a bout with pride when someone needs you to love […]

Jun 20, 2013So…my Community Group is doing Scripture memory this summer. Like, BIG time. Like a verse-a-day memory. I NEED HELP. The last time I set out to memorize passages of Scripture was probably when I was a 12 year old homeschooled kid. My sisters and I memorized 3 chapters of Matthew (think the Beatitudes) and […]
Read MorePodcast Maybe?
Jun 16, 2013So I’m on a podcast kick. Usually I sit at my desk with my headphones in and listen to my fav music-of-the-moment. But earlier this week, my pastor talked on Galatians 5 and that verse “feeding the flesh” really stuck in my spirit. I want to feed the Spirit of God that lives in me. […]

Jun 13, 2013I’m seeing circles. . .and I’m loving it! Right now, many thousands of you are banded together in a mass Bible study group on Gideon. I am so honored and excited to be able to serve you in the Scriptures whether you are doing the study alone or with a handful of others in your […]

Jun 11, 2013Shamelessly took out my iPhone during dinner to take notes the other night.I couldn’t help it. The conversation Jerry and I were having with our new friends Jentzen and Cherise Franklin shimmered with wisdom and insight. These two seasoned parents and partners in life and ministry took time to share a meal and enriching conversation. […]
