John the disciple (as apposed to John the Baptist)  =)
He is characterized as having zeal, ambition, aggressive, and at times behaves in a volatile and brash manner. He was one of the inner three disciples who were closest to Jesus as He lived on earth.
As I read about John this week, the Lord started teaching [...]

Its 10:20pm on a Tuesday night and I’m just now sitting down to write this. The week is already busy, and it just started! I think if I’m not careful, the summer will be over before I’ve slowed down enough to enjoy it.
Luckily, Brent currently has the only working car with an air conditioner [...]

Oops.  This is a day late.  I think I needed a day to recover from my slave driver husband who was on a mission this past holiday weekend.  We spent hours in the yard and then rearranging and deep cleaning the house.  I wish I could say I was a willing participant to the mass [...]

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?  Mark 4:13
As I’ve been reflecting on what it means to truly follow Christ, these two verses got stuck in [...]

I’m a day late posting this.  Mainly because I didn’t know what to write.  I mean I know what I’m thinking, but not necessarily what to write.   So I avoided writing yesterday.  On a positive note, my avoidance seemed to create productivity in the household.  4 loads of laundry, spraying the lawn for weeds, vacuuming, [...]

This week I had a troubling thought.  This thought led to this post. A necessary post for me to write and for anyone reading to understand.  Hopefully, most already understand this, but my soul feels burdened to share anyway.  Are you curious about my thought yet?
I was stopped in my tracks by a comment someone [...]

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so practice and observe whatever they tell you—but not what they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but [...]

So the James Experiment is already kicking my booty and its only day two!!   My two thoughts from yesterday…
“for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” (James 1:20)
So I’ve blogged about this verse before, but the truth needs to be heard by me ALL the time.  In the chaos of 3 [...]

My Spiritual Journey

March 30, 2010

As I said last week, I’m really studying what it looks like to live like a child of God. This week God has been challenging me to let go of a lot of the control I have. Control over the house, kids, schedule, etc… He’s been challenging me to not just believe that [...]
