It was so hot in the little lodge that I felt like I could hardly draw a breath.  Sweat Lodge, indeed.  This was more like a let’s-suck-every-bit-of-moisture-out-of-you-then-some-more-while-you-try-to-pray-and-have-a-spiritual-experience lodge.  More water was poured onto the hot [...]

So you may be wondering how a girl like me, if I was taken to church by my parents and my aunt during childhood, how did I end up believing there was one god over all religions and being good was [...]

…continued from God of My Story (part 1)…
My experiences during college and high school were varied.  It is probably safe to say that some even put me closer to God than others.  My brother and I worked as cave tour guides for a few summers together, and in our free time we would go to [...]

I have been having a “blog-block” for a bit now, wanting to write but unsure what to write about, other than my usual “Randomness” posts, music posts, and family posts.  I mentioned my dilemma to my friend Mindy and she suggested sharing my testimony.  In non-Christian-ese, that is the story of how God has worked [...]

Hi, all!
I had a great weekend going to our church’s ladies weekend retreat at Epworth By the Sea at St. Simon’s Island, Georgia.  The campus and facilities there were just beautiful and our hotel room (with balcony) overlooked the river and marshes.  What a view!  Oh, I wish I had just had more time to [...]

God is God, and He is the great “I AM” and as I read on a recent blog that also means I am not.  No matter the state of the world on this morning, our God is unchanging, ever the same, ever faithful, ever merciful, ever full of grace.  That thought brings me to my [...]

It goes against our nature, doesn’t it?  Praising God in the storm.  I’m still learning how to do it.  Whether its an afternoon shower, a thunderstorm, a line of storms, or a decently-sized hurricane, I always want to whine, complain, and yell at God for the situation I am in.  Why does it have to [...]

As I shared before, I recently finished reading Philip Yancey’s What’s So Amazing About Grace?  Great book!  I wanted to share a few of the quotes that really struck me, if I can even share them adequately with them being out of context as they are.  I’ll try to put them in context as much [...]

Its that time of week again!  Time for a video and hopefully a bit of inspiration.  I LOVE looking for these.  I just finished a book by Philip Yancey called What’s So Amazing About Grace?  Honestly, I cannot say enough about this book, it is quite excellent.  Admittedly, it is my second time reading it, [...]

This has always been one of my favorite songs by Third Day - Cry Out to Jesus.  And if you have been my reading my blog long enough, you know they are one of my favorite bands.  This song speaks to my heart and for my heart, and it’s what I long to tell the [...]
