Hebrews 13:20-21 May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be […]
The One with $20.25
It’s official!! Garage Sale Season in underway! I suppose you could say–“Melanie is to garage sales as hunters are to deer season.” In other words, it’s a BIG deal and if you’re not a garage sale fan, you think I’m crazy. I’m totally ok with that. It was only 48 degrees this morning, but the […]
The One with the Sweet Dreams
I finishing reading Mine Is the Night by Liz Curtis Higgs during our family camping trip in Kentucky. I’m not one to say, “I just can’t put this book down!” but I could whole-heartedly say that about this novel. I turned page after page on the 8 hour trip south and only dozed off twice–a record for […]
The One with Your Study Tips
I need your help. I am planning on starting a women’s small group for a few ladies in our church, and I’d love to find an awesome curriculum to use. My mom has done many Beth Moore studies in the past and always raves about them, so if you have a particular Moore book to […]
The One with the Country Song
One of my friends excitedly shared this link with me on Facebook, and I was so impressed I wanted to make sure everyone saw it! Carrie Underwood gave a tremendously moving performance of “How Great Thou Art” during a CBS special [Girls Night Out: Superstars of Country]. Before thousands and thousands of her peers and […]
The One with the Weekend of Worship
What a fantastic weekend we had! It all began Thursday afternoon. We donned our spring jackets and headed to the soccer field to cheer on two of our teens in their JV game. We raced home, headed to the church for worship practice and then the stick-drama rehearsal, and then BACK home. Ashley–one of the […]
The One with Open Wounds
I’m not gonna lie. This hasn’t been a shining week in our household. Shocker, we’re not perfect. Honestly, though, most of the issues have been rooted in my deep-down struggles–struggles I didn’t even know I was having. And when one person is dealing with personal trials, problems overflow onto your spouse. Am I right? I was […]
The One to the Cross
[originally posted on wechasetheson.blogspot.com] Without Easter our faith would mean nothing. What hope do we have with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This week my heart has been dwelling on the Cross. Many years the Easter holiday seems to come and go as just another excuse to eat Reese’s eggs and Jolly Rancher jellybeans and […]
On Leading to the Cross
Without Easter our faith would mean nothing. What hope do we have with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This week my heart has been dwelling on the Cross. Many years the Easter holiday seems to come and go as just another excuse to eat Reese’s eggs and Jolly Rancher jellybeans and wear pretty dresses. Those […]
The One with My Key Habits
My mom commented on my salsa-losing-story. She seems delighted that I’ve joined the ranks of forgetfulness and sends her condolences that I’m becoming more like her everyday. :) It made me smile and reminded me of yet another “moment” of mine. On Friday morning, I was busy baking a batch of pizzelles to fill my first […]
