In the darkness…

He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.  – Daniel 2:22
I can’t tell you how many times I read this verse yesterday…over and over again.  I don’t know why I do that, but it’s just how I study the Word.  Often a verse or passage will [...]

Long Obedience

I have been pondering a verse for a couple of weeks now.  Something about it spoke to me…though, to be honest, I wasn’t sure why exactly I was drawn to it. 
Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things… – Psalm 119:37
I underlined these words in my Bible and just began thinking about worthless things…what [...]

Gratituesday: Ann Taylor Jeans and More…

I have been searching…a long time…for that pair of jeans.  The ones that just make you feel good when you put them on.  The search is over.  Today, I am grateful for three things:

I am very grateful for Yaya who gave me a gift card to Ann Taylor Loft for my birthday.

I am also grateful [...]

Don’t Make Me Brush His Hair…

A couple of weeks ago, some friends and I were sitting in a conference room at work having lunch.  I don’t remember exactly how it happened, but we ended up discussing this story about Beth Moore and her encounter with an elderly man in an airport.
As we talked about the incident, I made a comment something [...]

Waitin’ on a Woman

I admit it…I have a serious soft spot for Andy Griffith (or as Emily says…Uncle Griffin.)  So, when I heard that he was in the video for this sweet song, I had to post it here. 
Unfortunately, you apparently are not allowed to embed the video…at least not the one with Andy in it. So, [...]

Passionate Praise

I have found a fabulous verse right in the middle of Jeremiah…seriously, it is fabulous.
    If I say: I won’t mention Him
    or speak any longer in His name,
    His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, 
    shut up in my bones.
    I become tired of holding it in,
    and I cannot prevail.       – Jeremiah [...]

Gratituesday: Fresh Fruit

 
    Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
    whose confidence indeed is the LORD.
    He will be like a tree planted by water:
    it sends its roots out toward a stream,
    it doesn’t fear when heat comes,
    and its foliage remains green.
    It will not worry in a year of drought
    or cease producing [...]

The Year of the Scarf

  
In case you have not heard, Angie has declared 2009 as the year of the scarf.  Unfortunately, she (much like myself) is never quite sure that she is doing it correctly.
So, she has enlisted the help of everyone’s favorite fashionista, Melanie…better known as Big Mama.  She shows 4 ways to properly adorn oneself with a [...]

Boast in this…

    This is what the LORD says:
    The wise must not boast in his wisdom;
    the mighty must not boast in his might;
    the rich must not boast in his riches.
    But the one who boasts should boast in this,
    that he understands and knows Me —
    that I am the LORD, showing faithful love,
    justice, [...]

Dehydration

As I sat on the couch and put on my make-up this morning, I thought to myself…I’m just so tired.  Granted, it was only 4:30 in the morning and 17 degrees outside.  I had every reason to want to crawl back into bed and cover up.  But I knew it was more than that.   In [...]
