Dear God, I pray for the day ahead and ask you to guide each step. In each decision I make, grant peace to commit and rely. In each difficult situation I may face, give wisdom. In each moment of planning and preparation, lead me to plan things that will attract youth and young adults to… Continue reading A prayer to start the day

NT Prayer Run – This World Has Nothing For Me
As I pulled into the parking lot at Payne Park to begin my run this morning, I knew I must be close to the high school simply by the large number of high school aged youth walking, riding bikes, and getting out of carpool vans all heading in the same general direction. In my prayers… Continue reading NT Prayer Run – This World Has Nothing For Me
joyfullyblessed … to be a DCE
After this weekend, all I can say is, wow. I am still sitting here on Monday night in awe of how blessed I am. Here is the SHORT version of the list of blessings I wrote in my journal this morning to thank God for: Thank you God for being covered, literally in prayers and… Continue reading joyfullyblessed … to be a DCE
Humbled….
It is truly humbling to sit at a memorial service for a man and suddenly realize that he had prayed for you everyday of his last 8 months on earth ...and even more to to recall that he described that experience as often blessing HIM! I'm in awe as I recall some of the emails… Continue reading Humbled….
Dinner with a Perfect Stranger
I recently read the book "Dinner with a Perfect Stranger" by David Gregory. This may have been a quick read (aka a short book) but it was packed full of stuff that really made you think. Concise but completely worth it. This would be a good book for anyone who maybe has grown up around… Continue reading Dinner with a Perfect Stranger
too much…more than enough…
I don't even know where to start. A little over a week ago I began a journey. At first glace it simply looks like a 3 week vacation between "the intern" and "real DCE". But I prayed it would be more. And more it has been. Again... I still just don't know where to begin. I've started… Continue reading too much…more than enough…
31 years
Dad was getting impatient and wanted to get his family home after a long day of travelling. The torrential rain and dangerous winds originally causing them to pull off the highway had slowed. However, the rain came down so fast that they now found themselves flooded into a random medical building parking lot only 20… Continue reading 31 years
There’s No Place Like Home
The last few weeks (months?) I’ve found myself time and time again, asking the simple… yet not simple at all… question: “God, what do you want me to learn from this? What are you trying to teach me?” Books, life situations, conversations with friends, and more… I’ve been in a season of life where I… Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home
Lazarus Awakening
I just finished reading my second Blogging for Books book. It was called Lazarus Awakening: Finding Your Place in the Heart of God by Joanna Weaver. I have read parts of another of Weaver's books, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World and neither book let me down. I feel as if Weaver has… Continue reading Lazarus Awakening
Running Away from My Prayers
Thursday morning my alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. and I had a decision to make... I had stayed up pretty late the night before hanging out with all the awesome women in my lifegroup and I had to decide whether sleep or a run would fill the next 30 minutes of my time. In once sense,… Continue reading Running Away from My Prayers
