Now I know what a whirlwind feels like. Exhilarating. Adrenaline rushing. Sleep depriving. Totally unforgettable.* *If you’d rather get the simple photo recollection, skip to the end of this enormous post. Of what am I speaking? Dare2Share. The Blaze Tour. Columbus, OH. 5,000 teens. Crazy adults. Challenges. Heart changes. Unforgettable worship. Allowing oneself to become […]
The One with the Muth
Wonderful snippets from the Pastor-Spouse Retreat. Frankenmuth, MI post Snowfest weekend. Chinese buffet in a German tourist town. Room with a king sized bed and poolside entrance. Seeing old friends. Talking with recently made friends. Making new friends. Not being the “noobs.” Hearing a totally new perspective of Galatians 6:9. (Do not lose heart in […]
The One where She Can’t Keep From Singing
Hmm. Things I did not do this weekend. MckMama has quite a list of her own “not me” confessions. Here are a few of mine. When asked by our teens if all the brownies were gone I certainly did not say, “Nope!” after having put away the remaining morsels of chocolately goodness to enjoy myself […]
The One with a Few Challenges
I am tired. I have been busy. And thus more likely to prefer lounging in my big comfy chair than on this much less wonderful desk chair. Oh, how I miss the days I spent with my iBook. RIP, iBook. Our time together was sweet. And much too short lived. I digress. After spending my […]
The One with the Subbing Newbie
Wednesday was my first day as an official substitute teaching in the calling system. But I’m thankful I didn’t get called. As we joined many in our church conference for a day of Prayer and Fasting. For Haiti. For the response teams. For the work of the Holy Spirit to be done. For Haitian pastors. […]
The One with Sleep Socks
Sleeping in socks. I never thought I would be that person. I had tried this tactic before and it was terrible. Sure, for the first 5 minutes under the chilly sheets it was lovely. But throughout the night as my body temperature changed I found myself gasping for air. It was way too hot for […]
The One with the Spontaneous Nap
I’m a huge fan of snow, right? I love winter.* Which is why I would never be a little bummed to see the snowflakes whirling around today. After yesterday in the upper 40s. Nope. I would want to savor winter for all it’s worth. I’m definitely not ok with an early spring. *MckMama totally loves […]
The One with All the Cheesecake*
A good Saturday. The perfect kind. Did nothing. And loved every minute of it. Didn’t feel guilty. Not one little bit. (Which is totally a big deal for me.) Woke up at 8am. Went for a brisk run. Made a French Toast brunch for me and my husband. That was scrumptious. Sat in my comfy […]
The One with the Bridges
I’m a little bit in love with my new and improved (and somewhat insane) schedule. I mean, seriously. Who, in their right mind, wakes up at 5:30am when they DON’T have to??! Me. And I may just be out of my mind. But I like it here. The view is nice. Life is especially good […]
The One with the Restaurant Food
I just borrowed my new favorite cookbook from the library. I absolutely love it. And I hate the thought of having to return it eventually. *sad face* It was on my wish list. I was hoping Kevin would convince someone it was the most important item on that list. Aside from the 30 Day Shred. […]
