I love lent. Whether I choose to eat only rice and beans for 40 days, don't give anything up at all, spend more time in prayer, bury the "hallelujahs" or let them ring loud, or even, like two years ago, give up LENT altogether for lent, these 40 (47) days each year always prove to… Continue reading Lenten Prayers, Dangerous Prayers

Reminders {God-Sighting Saturday}
This week I saw God every day in a friend who constantly points me to a HIM, the One who is bigger than anything I could face this week... Even if that means leaving a reminder on my microwave....

The 3: January Edition

Sometimes the lessons are what God's teaching me in my personal relationship with him, sometimes it's professional learnings, other times, it's basic skill around the house. Here's… Continue reading The 3: January Edition
But what can I do?
Tonight at a Bible Study I attend we were talking about the book of Nehemiah. One of the things I've always loved about the story of Nehemiah leading the people to rebuild the walls of the city, comes in Chapter 3. There it talks about how they were able to accomplish the task by simply… Continue reading But what can I do?
