Day of Prayer
Twice a year Cru (formally known as Campus Crusade for Christ) has a Day of Prayer in which all of the people involved with all of their different ministry outreaches cease striving and spend the day before the Lord in prayer. What an amazing spiritual discipline for each of us to practice - extended, focused time in prayer. We met together at a state park and had a time of aloneness in God's creation going before the Lord in prayer and we … [Read more...]
God Did That!
We had guests over the weekend. My favorite kind of guests – teenagers. My daughter came home from college for the weekend and brought three friends with her. There are only two weeks left to their Freshman year in college so it was a sweet time of lots of good home cookin and many rich conversations - a year in review reflections and the sharing future dreams wonderings! On Saturday night we had a couple of adults join us, as I always … [Read more...]
Church Goers Flashed-Really?
I have been to countless Easter morning services at church through the years, several different churches in fact, as I have moved seven times since becoming married. This year was the first time I saw my husband struggle with where exactly to place his eyes during the walk in and out of the church building. My sixteen year old son was having the same struggle. I used to so enjoy seeing little girls, teens girls and women dressed in their … [Read more...]
Idol Worship Gone Mainstream
Would you fight the crowds to get a glimpse of your favorite star? It certainly seems most Americans would! From Justin Beeber, to Jennifer Lawrence to Tim Tebow, teens, and their parents are all a flutter - and a push and shove away from getting close to their favs! I have been known to do some pushin and shovin myself, for the right personality. It is odd to me that star sightings are now considered “news” and the whereabouts of various … [Read more...]
“Bing” – God Has a Message For You
Reading the word of God truly is like daily unlocking a mystery that is revealed personally to me each day. I don’t know why I am still amazed at how God will speak to me through His word. So much so that I thank Him out loud, and often. If you are not someone who takes time to read and ponder the Bible I want to challenge you to try it for 30 days. Come on, 30 days...isn’t it worth the time and effort to see what God wants to reveal to … [Read more...]
Sufficient Courage
Last week I wrote a post sharing the fact that I am sometimes unable to do or say what God is asking me to do and oddly this used to not be an issue for me. But I have been plagued by this desire to hide, rather than allow my light to shine. I am consistently finding myself paralyzed by fear and though intellectually and spiritually I know that is a wrong attitude...I still seem to go there. Yesterday God through a brick at me. In the form … [Read more...]
You Don’t Matter Lie
Safely tucked away in my familiar surroundings of home I thrive, as God and I stroll along peacefully together. Comfortable, quiet, easily heard. When my home is filled with family, friends and laughter, that too is a reflection of God's love for me, therefore I am at ease. It's when I leave the sanctuary of my home that the doubts always come, the pressing in on my formerly perceived clear calling from the Lord. It is as if all the blooming … [Read more...]
Roof Crashers
There are times in my momlife where I sit in amazement of who my children are becoming. He sheepishly walked in from Echo - the Wednesday night youth gathering at our church - and as he looked up at me I could see emotion in his face. He grinned slightly and averted his eyes. My mom senses picked up on something...something big. "Are you OK?" I inquired. "Yeah...well...it was a really good night," he offered. "Have you been … [Read more...]
Six Word Challenge
This morning as I was turning the page in my Bible I zeroed in on six words and sat staring at the page. My mind filled with thoughts from my past...and my present. I became somewhat mesmerized as I contemplated what I was peering down at. I have long been amazed at how my Heavenly Father speaks to me and reveals Himself through His word. There are passages that I have been known to camp out on for quite some time as it seems a nuance is … [Read more...]
