The Purpose Driven Life

I made a confession to someone other than myself yesterday about some things that were heavy on my heart.  I confessed that I was struggling with my purpose.  I know enough to know that one’s sense of purpose is related to one’s sense of value.  And one’s sense of value is usually defined by those… Continue reading The Purpose Driven Life

BE BRAVE.

As I mentioned in my previous post I am currently immersed in the “Divergent” series.  While there are many components of the story line that have lured me in, one of the most appealing is the Dauntless faction.  The Divergent story takes place in a city that is divided up by factions.  Each faction consists… Continue reading BE BRAVE.

His Law is Love

I’ve never considered myself to be a user.  You know, someone who depletes others’ time, energy, service, etc. for the sake of meeting their own needs.  For the sake of getting what they want…only with no intention of giving back.  I’ve always tried to give back.  Even if it was in a different way than… Continue reading His Law is Love

The Unlikely Guest

I walk into my kitchen with the intent of heating up some water and mixing it with a package of chocolate powder to get warm and satisfy my sweet craving.  But I stop short quickly when I see that he is there.  He is there and she is there, but it is him that surprises me because he… Continue reading The Unlikely Guest

This is My Portion

Not too long ago I allowed my burning frustration with this season to boil over into anger.  I thought about the many journals I have stored up in my night stand drawer right next to my bed.  Pages and pages of letters to the Lord written over the last 11 years.  Pouring out my heart, my dreams, my dedications… Continue reading This is My Portion

FLATTERED BY ATTENTION…WHY DO YOU WANT HIM? (Reposted from Ms. Mia Writes)

The last few months of my life have been riddled with sketchy and surprising behavior at best.  That age old wrestle between the flesh and the Spirit continue to combat within me and sometimes it’s a day-by-day…moment-by-moment occurrence.  In the midst of this battle I found my good friend’s blog post on the subject of… Continue reading FLATTERED BY ATTENTION…WHY DO YOU WANT HIM?

The Root Digger

For the past several months I have been HARASSED. These pesky flying black bugs (other wise known as fruit flies) invaded my home over the summer and settled in as if they were paying rent! My roommate and I naturally assumed that once the weather changed they would die off and leave. Well imagine my… Continue reading The Root Digger

Church, Coffee and Communion

Sunday morning I found myself in church.  Not my normal small fellowship where members surround round tables and dialogue about the most recent lesson on being an effective intercessor.  But an actual church service with a worship team ministering and a pastor preaching and a place where actual member’s classes are held (at our fellowship people seem to just appear… Continue reading Church, Coffee and Communion
