While You Were Sleeping

December 21, 2018December 21, 2018

A song that I have had on repeat and just can’t stop listening to with much conviction is, “While You Were Sleeping” by Casting Crowns. This song has me stepping bac, every time I listen to it asking myself, “What position does Christ have in my life? Do I only have space for Him when I want? Do I live my life like He IS my everything?”

Is there room for Him IN my life? And…do I make room?

I’m leaving this short and sweet because I want you to listen to this song twice. Once to just get the words starting to turn over in your head and then another time to let the message really soak in. It is powerful and I’ll be honest, 9 times out of 10 I get choked up, often with tears. I want my life to be a life lived in trust and true devotion to Him – every minute of my every day.

Take a listen…

When Your Potatoes Rot

I thought an animal had died in our house. Not just some measly little creature. I was thinking it had to have some substance to it, considering the SMELL that was permeating through our house. I was lighting candles, opening up the windows, yet every time I spun our little lazy susan, it just got…

Starting A New Chapter

New chapters are often thrilling, filled with much anticipation and new beginnings. Dan, Mazy, and I now find ourselves at the end of a chapter of the story of our life, but are eager to open another chapter in the book God has already written for our life. We will be moving to Zeeland, Michigan…

Who Do We Serve?

When I sit back and think about ministry, there is a lot to think about. I sit back and think wow, God chose US to be in youth ministry? It’s really a humbling concept. Dan and I will be sitting on the couch and think wow, this is our life – this is the life…
