The holidays are here! And I’ve found myself in a new place, doing new things, enjoying the newness of life. I decided to spend some time in Florida with friends and do something I hardly ever do, take a VACATION. This was my reward for finishing up my MBA this year and I’m so grateful… Continue reading The Good Life
Unmet Expectations
This week 2 of my friends have made the transition to what I like to call “grown woman status”. In lay men’s terms… they turned 30. Typically there is no huge difference in being 30 than being 29. For most people age is just a number. And although I agree that there is no real… Continue reading Unmet Expectations
Sowing for the Future
So this morning I really wanted a pair of socks to wear. By nature I prefer to be warm and toasty and get cold pretty easily (not a very good trait to have living in Ohio). And usually at work its freezing…so much so that it can often be colder inside the building than it… Continue reading Sowing for the Future
Our “Stuff”
A good friend of mine (one of my best friends) has been facing extreme resistance to her authority in the workplace, even to the point of outright disrespect. Being a minority, young, and female is challenging enough in the corporate world yet sadly she is facing this in ministry, so her opposition is coming from fellow… Continue reading Our “Stuff”
Dying to Self
I’m listening to Misty Edwards as she cries out her passion for God in “Garden”. I normally do not prefer her style of music although her songs do minister to me. I usually like them when Kim Walker sings them. I think today is different because the depth of Misty’s intimacy with God is what… Continue reading Dying to Self
Body Ministry
One of my most favorite things to do in the whole world is to minister to God’s body. Probably the thing I enjoy the most and am most passionate about is worship. But after that, I just love to minister to God’s beloved. On Sunday I was blessed to participate in corporate ministry to a… Continue reading Body Ministry
Now Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain…
Yesterday I went on a 2 mile run. It was exhilarating. I love running outside in the fall weather. The air is crisp but the sun is brilliantly shining so there’s that perfect balance of warmth and coolness to compliment the whole experience. My lungs are pumping intentionally and my heartbeat is escalating. My breathing… Continue reading Now Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain…
Is Living with Someone Preparation for Marriage???
I can’t imagine all of the ways I will change in marriage. I can’t imagine the person I will be in that season. God forbid motherhood hits right after we tie the knot. I hate to put God in a box BUT He always seems to give me a “rest period” before a major season… Continue reading Is Living with Someone Preparation for Marriage???
Change
I’ve never been too happy about change. Unless it’s found at the bottom of my purse, allowing me the ability to purchase something sweet from the vending machine, I’m pretty much resistant to it. Nevertheless, life brings change. God operates in seasons, and while early in my walk with the Lord I had no concept… Continue reading Change
Humility
Lately I’ve been noticing pride rearing its’ ugly head in the secret compartments of my heart. On the one hand I’m grateful to the Holy Spirit for convicting me and showing me areas I have pride in, on the other hand…I’d just rather it not be there at all. But even making that last statement… Continue reading Humility
