"Congratulations, you loan is paid in full." Ever since starting my Financial Peace journey (which was also around the time I started to have to pay off my student loans), I always get excited and celebrate when I see another e-mail with the above subject line. (Only a few more to go!) The emails often… Continue reading Congratulations!

Laughter Came From Every Brick
Just wanted to share a beautiful poem I love by Teresa of Avila. Hope you love it too! Just these two words He spoke changed my life, "Enjoy Me." What a burden I thought I was to carry - a crucifix, as did He. Love once said to me, "I know a song, would you… Continue reading Laughter Came From Every Brick
I love my life! (And I think that’s how it’s supposed to be.)
At 11:45 this morning I passed this sign on my way back from helping run the ropes course for Operation Purple Camp at Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center: The crazy thing about this is that I drove past that same sign for the very first time exactly two years ago today at the end of… Continue reading I love my life! (And I think that’s how it’s supposed to be.)
Delight
I've been pondering this for the last few days and just can't stop thinking about it... God delights in seeing us delighted. I wonder what your thoughts on this statement. What is your initial reaction? Do you agree? Disagree? Why? What does this speak to in your life right now? If this is true, how… Continue reading Delight
20 Seconds of Insane Courage
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
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?!?
Encouragement is a powerful thing.
As I opened my e-mail to start my work week, I was excited to see an e-mail from a friend I met in Africa. His love for God and passion for sharing it with others was truly evident in my time there and I must say that his encouragement this morning just made the week… Continue reading Encouragement is a powerful thing.
Sabbath days are for…
Over the last month or so God has really been teaching me a lot about Sabbath. It's been brought it up in conversations. One day the name of God I focused on was Jesus as "Lord of the Sabbath". A friend posted on his blog about how he and his wife have been celebrating Sabbath. … Continue reading Sabbath days are for…
I’ll Love You Forever!
I was just wandering through Dollar Tree trying to find the something I needed when I heard the conversation. They were just two twenty-somethings co-workers trying to pass time as they restocked the shelves. "Oh did I tell you..." one asks the other as if she's simply going to state some random fact about her… Continue reading I’ll Love You Forever!
2011 in Review – The personal Journey
Last night (Friday) I had some time to just stop, take a break, sit by the fire at Panera and reflect on the past year. One of the blogs I read had a link to another blog with a list of questions to ask yourself as you wrap up one year and head into another.… Continue reading 2011 in Review – The personal Journey
