😎🐫🎤 Fear of God. That’s a saying I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around. Growing up I learned respect for those of authority and power in my life and that’s how I experience God. A friend and authority in my life that I respect, not a deity that “demands” my respect or fear.Continue reading “Wednesday, October 17, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 The events of this past week forced me to do some purging. It’s incredible how adding one thing here and another thing there can clog up our lives.  No joke, I’ve already spent three hours clearing contacts out of my phone and I’ve only made it to S.  Why do we hold on soContinue reading “Wednesday, October 10, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 Lately I’ve been challenged with trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. As I was contemplating that Sunday, God said “Work in your strengths, but grow in your weakness.”  His response brought me back to the first reading at Mass this weekend Numbers 11: 25-29. I have beenContinue reading “Wednesday, October 3, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 If you’re like me, at times you don’t want to share with anyone what’s going on in your life because you don’t want to look and feel like a failure when you don’t follow through and they hold you accountable.  What I find in those situations is that I make it all about me and howContinue reading “Wednesday, September 26, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 As I was reflecting on this past week, looking for God’s presence, I wandered off thinking about the events of this weekend.  Brian and I were able to work together on a house project that we’ve been putting off for a couple years. Working on this project reminded me how well we work together. How goodContinue reading “Wednesday, September 19, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 Something must die within us to allow new life in the Lord to spring forth from us. That’s what this log reminded me of. I’m sure this tree stood for many years digging its roots in the soil as it searched for life giving water. Stretching its branches wide and toward the heavens, fighting toContinue reading “Wednesday, September 12, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 Last Friday afternoon I met a friend for a walk at Charleston Falls. After she left, I wanted to walk some more and talk with God as I usually do when I’m by myself. I was telling Him “I like to bring friends here to walk, because I know that You are always here.Continue reading “Wednesday, September 5, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 Have you ever noticed that when God wants to make a point in your journey, you’re walk with Him, that He will expose you to multiple situations in a short period of time to make sure you don’t miss the point?  This past week God presented me with both personal and work related eventsContinue reading “Wednesday, August 29, 2018”

😎🐫🎤 As I was walking on Sunday, I was reminded of a poster my oldest sister had hanging in her room during our high school years. It was a picture of Snoopy (my favorite cartoon character) with shorts and a sweatband, jogging in the distance. The quote read “The secret of life is looking goodContinue reading “Wednesday, August 22, 2018”

8/15/18 😎🐫🎤 Over the past few months I’ve experienced a shift.  God has been opening doors to bringing people into my life and it feels as though He’s preparing me for a season of growth.  I started asking Him a month ago what He’s planning. Why is He building up this community of believers inContinue reading “Wednesday, August 15, 2018”
