Think I Broke My Scale
I just wanted to do a quick update on my weight loss endeavors. I’ve been at it for one month, four days. I feel like I’m doing fairly well and rejoice with ever loss.
Last week I decided to lower my maximum daily caloric intake by 1000 and am now sitting at 1290. I did this [...]
My Heart Skipped a Beat at Starbucks
This morning on my way to work I decided to kick it old school. Soon Passion’s album Better is One Day was filling the four walls of my car at a loud volume. I sang along to a few songs and skipped ahead to the title track – Better is One Day – my favorite [...]
Arby’s and Star Looking
I realized earlier today that my husband and I had started dating 13 years ago today. We ate Arby’s at a local mall and then drove out to past the edge of the city and looked at the stars. I’d worn jeans, a red turtle neck, and a tan collar-less men’s button down shirt that [...]
Turning It Over
I was at a doctor’s appointment today and was dealing with some internal discontentedness while I waited to be seen. The good thing was I recognized I was being discontent and immediately started praying that God would give me peace and take away the discontentment. As I sat there I realized that this is something [...]
Like An Armadillo Crossing the Road in Rush Hour
I have felt so helpless lately. It started a while ago seeing images of precious people living on nothing just trying to get by.
It came roaring at me two weeks ago with the earthquake in Haiti. The images of poverty stricken, broken people floated before my eyes. I didn’t close the websites or stop reading [...]
Thankful
In the light of tragedies we always seem to understand just how blessed we are by God. My heart has been exceptionally thankful lately. Last night we had a tremendous storm here in Phoenix. We got an inch of rain over night. As I got ready for bed I listened to the downpour that was [...]
200,000
When I logged onto my computer at work this morning I read this headline for this story on the BBC feed I use Haiti Quake Toll May Be 200,000. My heart just breaks. It cries out for God’s mercy.
Last night I was praying for our little girl Nikita in India, and the people in Haiti. [...]
How Do You Pray?!?!
Today we are all reeling from the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Thanks to technology images float in front of our eyes of the hurt, dead, and demolished.
The country and her people obviously need prayer and financial support. Their lives have been stripped of the little they had to absolute nothingness. I started thinking how exactly [...]
Missio Vitam
A few thoughts on my prayer to live more missionally this year.
Probably about two years ago Shawn and I started learning about Missiology and living missionally. It was a new concept for the both of us. In a nut shell, missional living means you live as a missionary to the community you live and work [...]
:(
Over the past couple weeks or so I seem to have battled off and on the “sads”. Not too much motivation for anything. My mind just wanders off on it’s own to some blank region.
I was diagnosed with depression when I was in elementary school, but once my parents took me out of the environment [...]
