Who Are You Living For?

January 31, 2014April 20, 2017

Tip #31 – Live everyday asking:

“Will this bring me closer to God?”

If there are things in our life that are drawing us AWAY from God, instead of closer, we need to consider ridding our lives on them. Whether it is an action or an item, we need to consider how it effects us, how it effects others, and how it effects our faith.

Kristin’s Action Plan: I have started to look at each item in our home asking “does this bring me closer to God?” By living with this in mind, I find my life is MUCH more simple, organized, and content. Why do we try to complicate life when God is not?

40 Lessons I Learned Along the Way

It’s funny how currently, I live one block from the hospital I was born at. Now granted, it is no longer a hospital, but a large brick building that has become the administrative home for many ministries. And we often joke that as a family of 3, we were all born in different states. Dan…

This is a bit more of a real and raw post, but I pray that this in some way encourages someone who may be going through cancer themselves or just a difficult time in life. It’s good to be honest. It’s good to share because most likely someone else is experiencing the same thing. Cancer…

Taking Time To Slow Down

I decided to piggy-back off of my last post about living in an “instant” world. Personal confession time: I rush through life – it takes a conscious effort for me to slow down and just relax. Ask my husband. I am a do-er. I am a task-oriented person. The more things on my to-do list,…

God Is In the Little Things In Life

It’s been kind of a crazy week because I’ve worked quite a few more hours than normal, and with youth group stuff often on the weekends, it doesn’t offer much time to get “other” stuff done. I know many say I have it “easy” and “don’t work” because I don’t work a normal 40 hour…
