God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 10}
Where I spotted God at work this week: The start of the All-Church study, Joining Jesus on His Mission. Especially great to have the high schoolers in the adult class for the teaching time and then see them digging in to topics of faith and life in their small groups. The amazing people I got… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 10}
Consider Jesus. {just write – day 9}
The words jump off the page and hit me right in the heart. "Therefore ... consider Jesus." (Hebrews 3:1) Suddenly I understand the words a few paragraphs later that describe God's Word as a "two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit... discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)… Continue reading Consider Jesus. {just write – day 9}
Key Take-Aways {just write – day 8}
As a way to kind of process the past few days in Chicago, I thought I'd try to come up with a list of one key take away from each of the sessions. Here's what I came up with: Opening Devotion by Brian Becker From David and Goliath - Some things work for some people… Continue reading Key Take-Aways {just write – day 8}
Can, Should, Must {just write – day 7}
3 questions. 3 questions that have been rattling around in my brain since Monday evening. 3 questions that I hope I can use to process what I do every single day... questions to help me get the big rocks in the jar before the pebbles, sand, or water. Question #1: What can I do?… Continue reading Can, Should, Must {just write – day 7}
In Our Time {just write – day 6}

These fellow Wheat Ridge grant recipients are doing incredible things to change the world where they live.

Wouldn’t It Be Awesome If… {just write – day 5)
"Wouldn't it be awesome if..." What's the first thing that comes to mind to finish that sentence? Perhaps it's something random like, "Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone in the US had a mandated 2-week all-expense paid vacation every year." Or maybe it's silly, "Wouldn't it be awesome if you could swim in a pool… Continue reading Wouldn’t It Be Awesome If… {just write – day 5)
God-Sighting Sunday {just write – day 4}
Here are just a few of the many places I spotted God at work around me this past week: Seeing people's needs met AND having the resources to be part of God providing for others. Good eye health... A full annual eye exam that came out great which is always a good thing given so… Continue reading God-Sighting Sunday {just write – day 4}
But Tonight… {just write – day 3}
So there are a lot of reasons that I look forward to prayerfully being married someday. Most of them are reasonable, godly, good reasons. Some are more practical and perhaps even selfish. Today my top reason falls in the latter category: Maybe, just maybe, once I'm married I won't have to be the mouse hunter… Continue reading But Tonight… {just write – day 3}
Suffering {just write – day 2}
I love reading. My kindle app is full of books; my shelf has plenty more. Sometimes I find myself paralyized by the quantity of options to the point I just have to force myself to pick one and start reading. The most recent choice was "Running on Empty:The Gospel for Women in Ministry" by Barbara… Continue reading Suffering {just write – day 2}
