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…

One Step Closer

One step closer. That is what Dan and I said as we processed the results of my CT scan. We are one step closer to the joys of trying to get pregnant. The joys of being earthly biological parents. The joys of parenthood. The nurse called and said that there is no narrowing of the…

Authentic

I have put a lot of thought into what I want this new year to look like. I’m sure you’ve heard it said to “not look back, but only forward”. I think that’s a good principle to live by, but I can’t help but think about the past. I can’t help but think about how…

When Faith and Organizing Collide

Purpose. Meaning. Being Loved. Belonging. All things a human desires. Add one more thing to the list for me: being rescued and redeemed by my Savior. We live in a broken and heart-wrenching world. A world that is out of order. That is chaotic. A world where “organizing” is not it’s first characteristic. Where is…

Home Once Again!

Even when things don’t go as planned, I am still reminded of the faithfulness and order of God’s perfect plan. This is not how I expected to spend Easter and the last few days, but this was exactly how God had intended. I was admitted, once again, to the BMT floor, but not for cancer,…

Always A Greater Purpose

I am someone who enjoys being encouraged by a good read. I had a friend come up to me at church one Sunday and she had shared a few words that God had put on her heart to share with me. They were inspiring and timely, as we were in the process of waiting to…

Choosing Victory

In life, we have the choice to see our circumstances as either a loss or a victory, or we can CHOOSE VICTORY EVERY SINGLE TIME. Have you ever thought about that? In life, I so often classify situations as either negative/positive, good/bad, easy/hard, or loss/victory. But in Christ, there is ALWAYS victory.
