baby. steps.

I’ve recently started running. I started earlier this year but I’ve been increasing more and more. Adding a few more laps every couple of weeks. My goal was being able to run 5K without stopping and I’m [now] doing that several times each week. Some weeks I only do 15K but my [new] goal each [...]

Call. Worship. How?

Ok, well the verses that follow those at the end of Romans 11 come in … you guessed it, Romans 12, which seem to fall perfectly in line with what I wrote about from Romans 11:33-36. Listen to this:
[Romans 12:1-2] So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary [...]

Call.

I was reading through the book of Romans last week and I read something that I have probably read a hundred times before but this time when I read it I saw it as a call to worship.
Romans 11:33-36; Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, [...]

Thank.You

I’m thankful today for the process God allows in us for change. I have discovered that when you want to be a different person, when you see your sin and authentically want God to change you from the inside-out, He does it!
I’m thankful that although I’ve spent most of my life the way I am, [...]

Oh You Bring – Hillsong United

One of my favs from the new Hillsong United CD, Across the Earth – Tear down the Walls. Sorry nothing to watch here, but the song is great. It’s just a song of worship that expresses the power of God in our lives and our simple response to our very beautiful, [...]

worship + justice

thank.You

Cliff has been inadvertently teaching me about thankfulness. Everyday his thankfulness abounds. Whatever we are talking about always comes with an attitude of gratefulness. It’s amazing.
Oh, I’m a thankful person. I’m full of gratitude, except there’s always a stipulation. “This is great, but….”, or “Wow, that’s wonderful, but just…”, you know? It’s just not quite [...]

my dreams

I was out with some girlfriends last night and I just happened to mention how as a girl I never really dreamt of the whole wedding thing. I never thought about getting married until it happened. I never really thought about having kids until it happened.
I can honestly tell you today that I am [...]

Some good news…

Come and listen, all you who fear God. Let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. [...]

7 days to live…

“What would you do differently if you only had 7 days left to live?” That was the question that I was asked earlier this week. I had no idea how to answer it and all week long I pondered it.
Gosh, 7 days left to live – I knew my answer should have been extravagant, elaborate [...]
