Mud Pies
I am the most discontent and selfish person that I know. While this is devastating for me to be reminded of on a daily basis, it\’s so very necessary and I find myself grateful to the God of the Universe who calls me his child that He loves me enough to bring this to my mind.Continue reading “Mud Pies”
Quote Journaling
So, you know how you take notes during a sermon, but then don\’t ever look at them again? Don\’t go super spiritual on me now… you know you\’ve done it. Or, maybe you\’ve been talking with someone or reading a blog and hear a really great quote and you write it on a little pieceContinue reading “Quote Journaling”
From the Archives: God\’s Love Language
It\’s been interesting as we\’ve traveled around the Southeast, meeting people from every walk of life. Having been raised in a very conservative church my whole life, it was like culture shock for me when we stepped into our first Southern Baptist Church a couple of years ago.

Just Mindin\’ My Own Business

I guess I never noticed that when he was called to be king, he was searching for his [earthly] father\’s donkeys.Continue reading “Just Mindin\’ My Own Business”
Hearing the Whisper Above the Roar
I had someone ask me a question the other day that I get often. Person: \”How long will you be on the field?\”Me: \”Oh, indefinitely. We will be there until God tells us to go elsewhere.\”Person: *Look of shock and utter confusion* \”Really?? Wow. That\’s amazing!\”Me: \”Well, not really. I mean, our hearts are there.Continue reading “Hearing the Whisper Above the Roar”
Thankful Thursday: God\’s Wisdom
Today, I\’m just thankful for God\’s wisdom. It\’s pure. It\’s honest. It never fails. That\’s what I desire to have. God\’s wisdom. And He says He\’ll give it to us if we ask. So I\’ve been asking a lot lately. I haven\’t blogged a lot in a while. It\’s not because I don\’t have anythingContinue reading “Thankful Thursday: God\’s Wisdom”
On Being Real
People like real people, but not many people like to be real. I know. It\’s deep. But why is that?! I have a theory and it goes a little something like this: 1. It scares us to be real.It not only scares us when other people are real, it scares us when we start toContinue reading “On Being Real”
