I want to read this book so bad I can’t stand it – and I really only want to read it because I’m in love with the title. It’s next on my list of things to purchase. In the mean time, I think I may start using the categories feature on this blog, and I may [...]

Ashamed.

I was reading the Beth Moore blog today. I read it religiously. She had posted two questions for her readers to answer. The first one had to do with the spiritual bondage that threatens you the most, and the second was about the greatest obstacle to freedom from that bondage. I usually don’t reply to things like [...]
Background for the flow chart.

Okay. So I know what my purposes are within girls’ ministry. Teach Truth (discipleship). Speak Life (encouragement). Love Relentlessly (evangelism).
As my friends would note, I am a type-A beaver when it comes to organizational issues. I’m working on a tiered breakdown of my vision for girls’ ministry. It will hopefully look like a flow chart [...]
Dreaming.

This was the question posed to me on the phone tonight: if I had a blank slate and a ministry to develop, what would I do? What would my dream ministry be like? What vision do I have for girls’ ministry?
I consider myself to be quite the dreamer. When it comes to life plans, it’s [...]
Back to school.

I started back with class this week. This term, I’m taking Theories of Counseling. It promises to be a really good course – especially since I’ve already used this textbook before (in undergrad at Lee). It should be more of a review and update than a lot of new information.
Earlier this week, I was thinking [...]
Short and simple.

It never ceases to amaze me how amazingly perfect God’s timing is. I am blown away. If I told you, you wouldn’t believe me. That’s all I have to say about that for now.
Restless.

I’ve been in an unusually contemplative mood today. And, for whatever reason, I’ve been really restless for the past few weeks. I’m in a funk of discontent, and I am craving some excitement and change. I don’t know what that means at all. I just know that’s how I feel. Discontent.
I get this way often. [...]
unChristian (continued from yesterday…)

I’ve been thinking for days about the solution to the image problem unChristian brings out. The only conclusion I can come to is this: there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). We are to be in the world but not of it (so cliche…could someone possibly come up with another clever way to [...]
unChristian

I am just about done reading unChristian. A friend of mine gave me a copy months ago, and I’ve been meandering through it rather slowly. It’s good information – I would recommend it – but I have some mixed feelings about it. I noticed that a couple other bloggers I know of are writing about [...]
One year…

I’m sitting in my favorite chair at my apartment, snuggled up with an excellent cup of vanilla cocoa, my warmest fleece blanket, and my oh-so-snuggly dog. It’s been a pretty typical day – meeting up with my brother to help him check out a house, dropping by the office to finish up a few last [...]
