Thought of the Day

Just a quick thought for today: If I am wholly pursuing God and He is wholly pursuing me, image the explosion when we collide.

Remembering a forgotten Sabbath

Between my husband and I, our weekends lately have been going at a rate of a mile a minute. And by lately, I mean for about the past 6 months that we have been married. We have been traveling, going to weddings and grad parties, hanging out with friends, you name it. I'm sure your summer looked similar. Anyways, last weekend, we finally  got a chance to slow it down for a minute. We woke up on Sunday morning and started our day off by going to church. And let me tell you, there is just something sacred about communing with the body of Christ. I refuse to hear any argument that believers do not need to be in regular community with others - it is so necessary to a healthy walk (see Hebrews 10:25). After church, we went to brunch (Deagan's - their brunch is a must) and then had the whole rest of the day open. I spent some much needed time catching up on house work; somehow, some way, cleaning is relaxing. Whatever, I've become my mother. Don't judge me. Then, we walked...

Wanting to Hate and Needing to Love

I've been trying to formulate my thoughts into coherent paragraphs for almost a month now. Lately, life has just been so heavy. I've lost a family member, faced the declining health of loved ones, watched friends battle horrible situations, and dealt with deceit from people I care for. All I want to do is come up for air and stop diving deeper into the mess of life. The betrayal I faced this past month was almost enough to do me in. I started planning through what I was going to say to this person I used to call family next time I saw them. My thoughts were swirling as I cried and contemplated how our relationship was never going to be the same. I had played the part of the fool and was feeling particularly justified in the walls I would be putting up and avenues through which I would distance myself. Then through a serious of events, God pulled me back to reality and back to Himself. I don't get to wash my hands of people and leave them high and dry, just because they ...

Group Texts and Mass Tragedy

If you don't live under a rock, you know that a lot of chaos has been happening in our world lately. School shootings, neighborhood shootings, political nonsense, you name it. And as things normally go when mass atrocities take place, people have flocked to social media. As a quick side note, I have an equal hatred/guilt for social media debates on hot topics. I believe they accomplish absolutely nothing. People's emotions are heightened and there is a propensity to believe you can say whatever you want over the internet. I also have guilt, because it is so difficult  for me to stay out of these debates. Anyways, I could go on and on about my hatred for starting fights on Facebook that solve nothing and how I believe Christians need to stay the heck out of judgmental social media, but I'll hop off my soap box. Because as tragedy ensues and tough conversations need to be had, I've realized how truly blessed I am. I'm in a group text. I know, "blessed" a...
