Well, we made it! I managed to skip only 2 days I think and am hopeful to keep blogging as regularly as possible. To wrap up, today's a little different than a normal God-sighting Saturday reflecting on the past week. Instead, here are few ways I've seen God at work specifically through this 31 day… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 31!!!}
Category: 31 Days to Just Write
Breakfast on the Beach {just write – day 30}
As I walked along the beach this morning, a story from the gospel of John came to mind. It's in the very last chapter and takes place after Jesus' resurrection. The disciples had seen Jesus alive again, however, at least according to John's account he hadn't given them any direction about what's next. It… Continue reading Breakfast on the Beach {just write – day 30}
Seeing People {just write – day 29}
I'm currently on vacation which means I have way more time to be writing on here, and yet, each day we've been here, I struggle to figure out what to write about. Today is clearly the same as it's now 10 p.m. and I decided, with hopes of finishing this 31 day challenge strong, to… Continue reading Seeing People {just write – day 29}
When the locksmith doesn’t show but Jesus does {just write – day 28}
It was a little after 10 a few nights ago when my upstairs neighbor knocked on my door. He had locked his keys in his car and had no clue what to do. His mom had suggests a locksmith so he was going to go call one. After saying this he walked back to… Continue reading When the locksmith doesn’t show but Jesus does {just write – day 28}
Prove Them Wrong, Please!?! {just write – day 26}
A few days ago I mentioned how much I LOVE high schoolers, especially laughing with them. Because of that love, my heart broke when I was in a conversation with a group of students not too long ago and heard the the following kinds of things come out of their mouths: "Adults don't really want… Continue reading Prove Them Wrong, Please!?! {just write – day 26}
Friends that Pray {just write – day 25}
Yesterday I shared about the gift of a friend (or stranger) that shares their story and invites you to share yours. Another beautiful gift in friendship is a friend that prays. Once again, I am overwhelmed that I have many friends who can fit in this category while some people have none. (Side note, if… Continue reading Friends that Pray {just write – day 25}
Your Story Matters {just write – day 24}
Yesterday I received a beautiful gift. It's nothing tangible nor is it easy to describe. Yet, in its simplicity I found myself filled with gratitude. The gift: someone shared part of their story with me in honesty and vulnerability and invited me to do the same. I realized that this gift, while extremely simple to… Continue reading Your Story Matters {just write – day 24}
Truth for Today {just write – day 22}
One of my favorite authors over the past few years has been Ann Voskamp. While I do enjoy her books and occasionally stop over at her blog, I think what I love most are her social media posts. Using statements like #HonestPrayersForRealPeople and #PreachingGospelToMyself to describe her posts, it's safe to say she's an approachable,… Continue reading Truth for Today {just write – day 22}
Just Show Up {just write – day 21}
Every year that I do this #write31days challenge somewhere around day 20/21 is when I hit "writer's block" of sorts. I was tempted to just not write anything today or find an old post and "reblog" it. But then I remembered this year's theme I picked of "just write." So here I am, just writing. … Continue reading Just Show Up {just write – day 21}
God all around… {just write – day 20}
This evening while I was on campus I got done with what I was doing a little early. Another ministry also meets on campus on Tuesdays and I decided to wander over to the Union and see how their night was going. They actually where in small groups when I got there so I didn't… Continue reading God all around… {just write – day 20}
