Don’t Miss It

The Introvert and The Tailgate

The Introvert and the Tailgate: Roll Tide Fall of 2014 I am a sucker for a good TED Talk. In 2012, author Susan Cain presented a TED Talk titled “The Power of Introverts” and she gave words to what it means to be me! She said,”solitude matters and for some people it is the air that they breathe.” Susan defines […]

OverWELLmed (this is not misspelled)-Walk with me TO THE WELL

These pictures were taken on a mission trip to Uganda in 2013.  I traveled with Jesus and the staff of Passion Partners, the global missions organization of Her Passion ministries, founded by Candice Moore (formerly Candice Ashburn).   These photographs are relevant to this post because we are actually walking to the town well, and this blog update is the […]

WHAT GOOD CAN A LITTLE MORE LOVE DO? A LOT! (still bringing #Catalyst2014 back to my city)

One of my favorite things about Catalyst is that they give a voice to people you may not have heard of, but who are quietly changing the world in the name of Christ, one simple act of kindness at a time! In this case, it is one simple love letter at a time. The girl behind the “love letters” is […]

#Catalyst2014-Change Makers-Day 2

Loved this quote from Lysa Terkeurst “No time spend recording God’s faithful presence in our lives is ever a waste!” My blogging is simply another way for me to “record God’s faithful presence” in my life; thus NO TIME IS WASTED! My prayer for “The Blog”(sounds like The Blob-and I can’t help but laugh every time I write it:)  is […]

#catalyst2014: Change Makers-Writing my takeaways on my heart & in the BLOG!

No one needs “just another conference”, where one gets pumped up and possibly puffed up, thinking all their “new ideas” are necessary for everyone in their entire sphere of influence! HOWEVER, everyone needs to take time to come together with other believers, cry out to The Lord, humble their hearts, adore their God and thank HIM for HIS Presence and […]

BETH MOORE-MEMPHIS-“THE OTHER SIDE”

Disclaimer: the lovely picture included is not from Memphis, but from an Atlanta Beth Moore Conference:) It just makes me smile, so I decided to include my up close and personal with Beth (or her poster:) I was in Memphis this past weekend with one of my Jesus Freak friends. She and I have been to several Beth Moore Conferences […]

MAKING SENSE OF THINGS THAT DON’T MAKE SENSE

“…you won’t go wrong in following their teachings…But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don’t live it. They don’t take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. It’s all spit-and-polish veneer.” ref. Matthew 23:1-3, The Message Have you ever wrestled with making sense of things that don’t make sense? Have […]

FREEZE FRAME

Psalm 139:15-16 15) My FRAME was not hidden from you, when I was being made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16) Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. I am a product of […]
