A few years ago during Lent, I studied and prayed my way through a few "dangerous" prayers. Things like "search me" and "use me" don't seem so crazy at first, but when you pray them honestly, expecting God to answer, you never know how that might change your life. While reading through our all… Continue reading Dangerous Prayers {just write – day 14}

Obsessed {just write – day 13}
So, I have the awesome honor of the title "godmother" to three BEAUTIFUL little girls.

Living with Less {just write – day 12}
I'll admit that some days it can be a challenge to think of something to write her that is worthy of hitting that "publish" button. However, I have enjoyed the journey with hundreds of others as we commit to writing for 31 days straight as part of the #write31days challenge. In addition to writing, I'm… Continue reading Living with Less {just write – day 12}

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. The room I get to sit in again today and again tomorrow is filled with… Continue reading In Our Time {just write – day 6}
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)
