John the Baptist. This guy. Seriously one of my favorites in all of Scripture. He was the OG when it came to living counter culturally and being sold out, radical for God. Oh how I would have LOVED being part of his journey as he prepared the way for Jesus to come. Locust and honey, … Continue reading
Day Seven. Before You Go…
This past February, I went out for a run one bitterly cold morning. I wore four layers of clothing, two scarves, two head coverings, your dad’s wool socks, lined cold weather running pants and two pair of mittens. I know. Why do I bother with this? LOL. Surprisingly, the run was ahhh-mazing and I was … Continue reading
Day Six… Before You Go.
I believe one of the main crux of the Christian life is knowing WHO we are in Christ and renewing our mind to this reality over and over again. Just the idea of never needing to cast down a lie or renew my thinking makes me long for heaven. LOL. Our minds will be fully … Continue reading
Day five.
As I am praying for you today, I just want you to be awake and wide-eyed to the fact you have an enemy. Your harm is his agenda. Not to scare you, but to make you aware. Christ died to give you life ABUNDANT. And Satan’s goal is to keep you from living it. Peter … Continue reading
On Mission Moves…. You’re Invited!
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10 Three years ago (or more) our piano teacher reached out to me, inviting our family to join a small team on mission to the country of Honduras. At that time … Continue reading
Day four. Before you go…
For who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 This concept is kinda out there. Most things in the Kingdom of God are. But, before you go I want you to fully understand what is available to you in Christ. You … Continue reading
Day Three. Before You Go…
Immeasurably More. What a concept, right? I mean, we understand “measurements”. I know how to measure a cup of water or rice. I understand how to weigh flour on a scale. I can use a ruler or a measuring tape for inches and feet. But immeasurably more? This is what God says He wants to … Continue reading
Day Two. Before You Go…
You’ve got a lot to think about these days, don’t you? Life is a constant fire hydrant of information, decisions, deadlines, and to-dos! I just want you to first know, I see you. You are doing great. I’ve heard it said that, “Overwhelm is a choice.” I like that. But easier said than done, right? So, … Continue reading
Day one. Before You Go…
I was walking one cold January morning, the winter of your Junior year and we, your dad and I, were on the front end of really coming to grasp with the fact of within 19 months (but who is counting?) you would be packing your room and pulling out of the driveway to embark on … Continue reading
Before you go…
This past week my family and I spent hours traveling the south, touring colleges, eating pralines and singing loud 90s music when the car ride felt too long. Colleges? Wait. I know it is cliche, but time sure does fly. Just the other day I was “interviewing” pediatric doctors with a big pregnant belly. And … Continue reading
