More exciting things!!

I promise I will return tomorrow with a content rich post but today I needed to stop by and quickly share a few more exciting things with y’all. {Did you see the exciting things from yesterday?} First of all, I am excited to be contributing to a wonderful community called The Intentional Lifestyle.  The site…

Exciting things are happening!

Can I just tell y’all that God is amazing? Sometimes I am tempted to throw in the proverbial towel with this whole writing/teaching thing, especially when I start listening to the lies of the devil.  And then God will show up in a sweet and powerful way {or two or three} and remind me that…

InstaFriday #2

This week has been a long one.  TGIF, for sure! I have two posts in draft that I just don’t feel led to hit publish on right now but just know, God and I are going through some stuff together.  Confidence was definitely the right word to choose for 2012.  Stay tuned for an announcement…

InstaFriday and a Bible reading plan update

I got an iPhone 4s {insert geeky squeal here} right before Christmas! I am in love with this gadget, particularly the Pinterest app and Instagram. Imagine my delight in finding a bloggy link-up for sharing your photos from the week {cause I take a ridiculous amount of photos with my phone}. Here is my week…

Reading the Bible in One Year- Want to Join Me?

God’s Word is always fresh to me.  No matter my circumstance, mood or situation; God uses His Word to speak to me. The Bible is God’s love letter to us and I am a hopeless romantic. In 2010 I read through the Bible in 90 days with Mom’s Toolbox.  I LOVED that method and can’t…

Confidently Me

There is something special about turning the page from December of one year to January of the next. I enjoy the reflection, the looking back on the good, the not-so-good and finding the grace in both. Each new year, since I began blogging, I have prayerfully chosen one word I feel led to focus on…

All Over the Place

  This has been a crazy with a capital C kind of week. We had our YoungLives Christmas party last night with 41 teen moms and their babies in attendance.  It was amazing to see God show up! I have been very preoccupied getting ready for that, preparing for the holidays and getting ready to…

Mercy Triumphs ~ A New Study on James by Beth Moore

First, I participated in a read-along of the book of James with my bloggy friend, Marla. Then, my co-leader of a Bible study at church suggested that we teach through the book of James {we will focus on the first half of chapter 4 this Sunday}. And now, my favorite Bible study author and Siesta…

Win an iPad and help our teen mom ministry!!

As many of you know, I am in full time ministry working with teen mama’s in my local area {a cause close to my heart as I was a teen mom myself}. Berkeley County, WV is an area rich with Civil War History, beautiful mountain views and boasts an affordable cost of living within driving…

31 Days to a Clean Heart check-in

Thank you for grace, friends. I have not posted every day {didn’t I predict that would happen?} I still have much to say on this topic!  We will continue next week with more obstacles to a clean heart and finish up the month with action steps. But, this weekend, the frenetic pace of life MUST…
