Be still and know…

Tonight we talked about worship with the youth. We did something I have not done in a while that I thought would be good to share.
We sat for just one minute and reflected quietly on God. We did not thank Him what He has done in our lives or others. We just completely put all [...]

time with our GOD

Something I have been struggling with lately is spending consistent, alone time with God in the morning. Some how along the way I started sleeping later, starting work earlier and before I knew it our time special time together has become rare. I talk to God a lot during the day but nothing can replace [...]

Encouraging Word…

I read this today. I have found it oh so true! I hope it encourages you!
“When God sends inspiration, it comes to us with such miraculous power that we are able to “arise from the dead” and do the impossible. The remarkable thing about spiritual initiative is that the life and power comes after we [...]

August 28, Grace

Today was a crazy day! I walked outside to my car this morning to a flat tire and a dead battery! No fun! Today is Mark’s day off so luckily so he was able to fix everything! I went off to school and Mark’s day didn’t get much better! I lost my phone and he [...]

September 15, 2007 Refuge

The other night Mark and I watched, “Enemy at the Gates” (well I watched half of it). In the opening scene, you see young Russian soldiers being loaded into a box car. They know they are going into battle, but they are not quit sure of what to expect. The camera pans to the boys [...]

guilty of wanting to be humble in order to be [...]

August 22, 2007 Small Things

I have not had a lot of time to blog this week. I started back to school last Wednesday which was actually a pretty big surprise to me…but that is a blog for another day. Anyway I am starting back on year 5 and I think I might see the light at the end of [...]

July 28, 2007 Better

There is a great Shane and Shane song….I can’t remember the title but somewhere in the verses it says, “You are better”. I love it because it is so true… He is better.
We just got back from serving at a family camp at our church. Usually when I serve at camps I get a little [...]

July 11 Missing the point

So I have been reading “Blue like Jazz” by Donald Miller. I have wanted to read this book for a while. I heard him speak at a confrence recently and he paralled the gospel with Romeo and Juliet…the human brain…and art. I love when people see that the gospel is not only written in the [...]
