I've been rethinking my "About Me" today. I realize that it tells the basics about me, my family, my ambitions, etc. However, I find myself asking, who am I really. Who is the "bottom line me"? Here's what I came up with. I'm a sinner saved by Grace. A woman whose sins have been forgiven and forgotten. Cast as far as the East is from the West. I'm a born again, Holy Spirit filled, child of God, daughter of the King of Kings. I am clay in His hands. I am His vessel. His servant. I am a woman who believes in Jesus Christ, and believes that he was born of a virgin, died on a cross to pay the penalty for my sins, rose on the third day, is alive and seated at the right hand of the father. The End. "For God so loved the world that He gave Hid only begotten Son. That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

　 Around here we write for five minutes flat on Fridays. We write because we want to, not because we have to. We write for fun, for joy, for discovery. We just write without worrying if it’s just write or not. Won’t you join us? 1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. 2. Link back here and invite others to join in. 3. Go a little overboard encouraging the writer who linked up before you. OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes on: TENDER Tender is me choosing soft words. Grace words. Instead of giving into my flesh, that is naturally hardened. Tender is the heart of my children. Hearts that are learning. Learning, I pray, to be loving…to be compassionate…to be filled with Jesus. Tender are the hands of Jesus that offer us Grace and Mercy. Tender are our feelings when we open up to our Savior. To this opening of hearts and feelings He brings with Him His own tenderness. He brings His unfathomable love, com...

I saw a face yesterday. A familiar face, yet not. It was a face that has been changed from the inside out. Transformed by the Holy Spirit. A sweet face that I’ve seen in my minds eye, as I’ve prayed, but not been able to see in person. Yesterday was the day. Oh what a glorious surprise it was! My friend who had been lost… My friend that only God Himself could find… My friend that is healed and whole… My friend that has been delivered and set free… My friend came home. Praise God! She’s home again! The prodigal daughter, returned. And Praise God, our precious church family chose to take on the role of the forgiving father, and not that of the bitter brother. Yesterday I saw the family of God, open their arms and welcome my friend home. It was a beautiful thing to behold. I witnessed the love of God in action. He put feet on God’s love yesterday. This burly, six footer. This steely, guarded, man of few words. He put feet on God’s love, and in the mid...

Hello out there! Anybody else out there fighting for their family? I’m in the fight, and right now I’m feeling pretty battered. I have a confession. For a while now, I’ve been focusing on MY time with God. I’VE been spending time with God. Time in His Word. Reading, praying, and communing. Your probably saying, “Yeah, so what’s wrong with that?” Well, the thing is, while I’ve been getting MYSELF in the Word, I’ve let our families devotion time go lacking. Ok, I’m being honest here, so I’ll just lay it out there and tell you that it’s been over a year since I’ve sat down and had a devotion with my girls. Man, that sounds a whole lot worse in print. I’ve talked to God about this and He is showing me how to reclaim family devotions….how to fight for my family. So we started last night. I had my devotion all ready. I even printed out a color sheet for little bit so that she could follow along. I got them all rounded up and ready. I started by apologizing to them for not up...

I come to You Lord. Leaning into You. My soft place to fall. Burying my face in You. Bringing You my heartache and my tears. I bring You the offering of myself. As little as it is. I come interceding for my family. For my husband. For my girls. I come seeking guidance, seeking words, seeking wisdom. Help me Lord to balance these circus acts of motherhood and wifehood. I’m struggling to balance feeding myself on Your Word, and helping my children learn to feed on Your Word. Help me teach them Lord. Help me to show them how seek refuge in You. As I learn that You are all I need, help me to translate that to them. Create in their hearts a desire to know you more. You know the trials I face Lord. I thank You that You are for me Lord. (Romans 8:31) I thank You that when ever I need to hear from You, all I have to do is open Your Word. Thank You for meeting me here. I thank You that even when I don’t know what to pray that Jesus is there making intercession for m...

I think I’ve finally figured out why God moved us out to the middle of nowhere. And when I say middle of nowhere I mean at least twenty minutes in any direction from anything. Anything being, the gas station, the grocery store, church, friends, school, etc. I think He got me out this far so that He could talk to me on those long trips to town. I walk through each day, trying to talk with God. Trying to hear from Him. Our conversations usually get drowned out by a number of things. But it seems that every time I get behind the wheel of my car and head toward a destination, I feel this overwhelming peace come over me and He starts to talk with me. He has given me so many words on these trips. I’ve decided I’m going to have to start taking my laptop everywhere I go so that when He gives me these words, I can stop and get them down in black and white. Cause like I’ve said before, my mind is a vault and I don’t want them to get lost in there. That leads me to my post for today…gotta g...
