I haven't seen the movie "We Bought a Zoo" but the other say I was shown a clip of what I assume is a father and son having a conversation. I was caught by this comment: "You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage... just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing… Continue reading 20 Seconds of Insane Courage

God Sighting Saturday
Thanks for showing up God in today... a change in schedule which provided the freedom to shut off the alarm and roll back over for some much needed rest bread baked and frozen a month ago that provided an easy, quick breakfast books and blog posts an absolutely beautiful piece of music fuzzy socks random… Continue reading God Sighting Saturday
Empty Hands and An Open Heart
Amen! Let it be so, God! Help me simply come to You... Come to Me with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. I know the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to Me for nurture. Let Me fill you up… Continue reading Empty Hands and An Open Heart
God-Sighting Satur…Sun… MONDAY!
(Despite having this post 'written' in my mind on Saturday, it's just now making it on to paper the screen.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The God-sighting comes like clockwork. Month after month after month without doubt. The envelope slides through the mail slot into the basket strategically placed to catch it and all other envelopes, flyers, and cards.… Continue reading God-Sighting Satur…Sun… MONDAY!
But, God?!?
I've been reading through some of my old journals and thought I'd share this prayer/poem from the Summer of 2009 while I was the Site Coordinator at a camp. May it remind us that we are not fit to serve God, but we are called and he'll give us all we need to do the… Continue reading But, God?!?
WHY?!?
In my devotion time this morning, one of the questions presented was: "Can you think of a time when you asked: 'If God loves me, then why...?' If so, what happened that led you to ask that question?" As I reflected and journaled a bit on this topic, I came to realize that it seems… Continue reading WHY?!?
31 Days of Imperfection – Day 31!!!
I always am frustrated trying to wrap up something like this. For 31 days (with a few grace-days) I've posted about imperfection. A month ago I walked into this challenge hoping, praying, desiring that in the process I'd become (at least a little more) "okay with imperfect". In everything from sharing Bible passages God brought… Continue reading 31 Days of Imperfection – Day 31!!!
Ministry is Messy! {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 30}
While my blog series focusing on "being okay with imperfect" started 30 days ago, God's been teaching me this lesson for quite a while longer. One of the ways I've seen myself being forced to be okay with imperfect is in realizing that ministry is MESSY! As you've probably figured out in the last 30… Continue reading Ministry is Messy! {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 30}
When… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 29
When you forget your daily blog post... for the second day in a row... When your attempt to catch up on sleep by going to bed early gets interrupted by your own thoughts... When you struggle... with THAT... AGAIN... When your alarm goes off and you just roll back over creating a hurried morning without… Continue reading When… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 29
Opps … {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 28}
Just realized that I completely forgot to write a blog post yesterday (day 28). Rather than worry about it, I just decided it seems quite appropriate in a series about imperfection. So while you wait for Day 29's God-Sighting Saturday post later today, ponder this thought: If I expect perfection (from myself or others)… Continue reading Opps … {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 28}
