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…
Why we need clean hearts
We have already established that I am not {in this current season of crazy life} able to maintain the pace of a post every.single.day for 31 straight days, no matter how passionate I am about the topic. There was a time {before God got a hold of my heart} that I would have posted every…
{day 19} Let go of what’s holding you back
As long as we are holding on to or harboring {unconfessed} sin in our lives, we will never experience the joy of the Lord. ~Pastor Ed Taylor There is something holding you back from experiencing a clean heart. From experiencing the fullness of the abundant relationship with God that you were designed for. It’s you. …
{day 18} Why forgiveness is so hard
We serve a God of relationships, a God that values unity. We are called to unity and the enemy is constantly seeking to destroy that in any way possible. Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm…
{day 17} The lie that you aren’t good enough
Imagine you are having dinner with the President. You are honored to have been invited. You chose a knock-out dress and of course, matching shoes. You told all your friends and family about this special invitation. You are proud of yourself for the intense conversation you managed to have with the President over the first…
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…
{day 12}Walk in Faith
Sweet Pea is taking her first tentative steps. She much prefers furniture walking– holding on to the couch, a chair or even my leg– to letting go and walking on her own. When she realizes she is standing without support, she sits down. As believers, we can become furniture walkers too. We say and think…
{day 10} When good gets in the way
Peruse the internet for a while and you will find many blogs, articles and even books on how to simplify your life. We live in a fast paced, activity filled culture. Our time is full of activities, even our church calendars are jam packed with fun, family friendly things to do. Most of what we…
{day 9} Worship
I was in a grumpy mood this morning. Is it just me or does the enemy work overtime to get the family arguing, hurrying and distracted when you are trying to get ready for church? Ugh! I drove to church mad. I knew I needed to let my irritation go but my flesh felt entitled…
