{an edited post from the archives as I spend Christmas break with my family} The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues. You can’t separate them. They’re wedded. ~Henry Miller I remember well the days that perfectionism consumed my life. I suppose I came by the desire…

When shadows are swirling
Back in the spring of 2006, God put a strong call on my life. I argued with Him (while crying, laughing and driving down a dangerous stretch of highway). I told Him He definitely had the wrong girl. But, God can be persistent (in case you didn’t know that). Fast forward four and a half…
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…
Biting my tongue
“but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison”. James 3:8 Sarah Mae wrote a post several months ago that featured a story from the movie, Doubt. I can think of no better way to address the topic of gossip and slander than to send you to read…

Renewed passion for the Word of God. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so…
What do you say?
Image by Glen’s Pics via Flickr I would have wanted to mull it over with a friend too. Clear my thoughts. Have someone to talk about all that had occurred in the last three days. To discuss what it all meant. And then there were the rumors from the women who had visited His tomb…
Holy Week- The day after
Image by focus2capture via Flickr I purposefully didn’t post yesterday because anything I would have said would have been dark, heavy and possibly too much. Nothing we can ever imagine or do would properly convey the agony Jesus suffered on that day. Facing separation from His Father (even if temporarily) and bearing the weight of…
Holy Week- Maundy Thursday
Image by WELS.net via Flickr This was such a special night. A night when Jesus provided his disciples (present and future) with beautiful promises for those that choose to serve Him. The Lord gave them a new command that night (and it still holds true for us today). A new command I give you. Love…
Holy Week- Crushed for Me
Image via Wikipedia Nail pierced hands, a wounded side This is love, This is love It is NOT okay for me to let this week pass and NOT think about, dwell on, cry for those nail pierced hands and that wounded side. He endured those things for me. For the girl that would spit in…
