God's Calling
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”. C.S. Lewis I just love that quote. It reminds me in a very powerful way that God’s call on our lives is real. It’s tangible. Something we can taste, touch, feel, and see. And it’s not something so far out of our grasp that we’ll fail. Failure. Every time I tried to manage my schedule the past couple weeks–I’ve failed. I just wasn’t doing a good enough job. When my panic attacks came back, I felt like a big fat one–failure that is.…

Deal Breakers
What are your deal breakers in dating? Do you just hate it when a guy blasts the music too loud when you’re in his car? Or when a girl can’t seem to tear herself away from texting on her cell phone long enough to say hello? Maybe you’d never date someone who smokes, doesn’t laugh at your jokes, or has a lot of baggage from a previous relationship. It’s no question: Everyone has deal breakers in a relationship–beliefs we’re not willing to compromise. But what does the Bible say our deal breakers should be? [Not Another Dating Book, Harvest House, (C) 2012, page 34] That is just an excerpt…

Something New
I prayed so many years to find a husband. When I was single I used to wonder if God heard my prayers. I wanted to know when it was my turn to experience my taste of something old, something new, something borrowed, and something…red? Now that I’m married I wonder what in the heck am I supposed to pray for? I’m one of those people who worries about what’s next. The future. A passage of Scripture that’s been kicking my butt lately is from Matthew 6. When I was single I used to hate Matthew 6:24. The one that says “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate…

The Bulldog Principle
It’s no secret. I suffer from anxiety. Most days I’m fine. It’s usually when a major life crisis hits that–boom–my emotions go crazy. I resemble the quote that says, “Anxiety girl! Able to jump to the worst conclusion in a single bound!” That’s totally me. The Bible says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7, NIV). I think that’s a better way to live. That and pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17). So why is it whenever I’m faced with a challenge? I. FREAK. OUT? Right before the holidays, I met up with my…

12 Tips for 2012
12 Tips for 2012 1. First Things First. Seek God first and the rest will fall into place (Matthew 6:33). 2. Be A Follower. Disciple = follower. It’s not a spiritual term. You follow people on Twitter and Facebook, so why not be mindful to follow God? 3. Don’t Be Ashamed. Of small or new beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). Of your weaknesses. “God is weak and powerless in the world, and that is exactly the way, the only way, in which he can be with us and help us” (Dietrich Bonehoeffer). 4. If you’re bored, God’s bored. My best friend Monique told me this a long time ago and it stuck.…
