Message Received. Loud and Clear

Message Received. Loud and Clear

At the end of last week I was grouchy. Seriously GROUCHY. As I said here, I was feeling overwhelmed and just a little sick of it all. But then this weekend, I got a gift this amazing series of gifts from God. This weekend He blessed me big time. EVERY EXPERIENCE I had left me energized, renewed, [...] [...more]

Extra. Ordinary.

Extra. Ordinary.

On Saturday, my friend Alece, came to stay with me and go see the Help Haiti Live Compassion benefit. Needless to say we had a great time. The concert was incredible. And I absolutely adore spending time with Alece. She is easy to be around, smart, authentic, and just a little sassy. But do you know [...] [...more]

A Laundry List of Requests

A Laundry List of Requests

One thing I love about Social Media is that it is an easy what to know what is going in people’s lives (not everything, but certainly the very good and the very bad tend to pop up). So you can kind of keep tabs on what to be praying for. I am sure you already [...] [...more]

When Darkness Creeps In

When Darkness Creeps In

Last night was one of those nights. One of those nights where my day had gotten the best of me. One of those nights where my soul just felt battered and bruised. One of those nights where I was dwelling on all the wrong things. One of those nights where the darkness crept in. And I started [...] [...more]

Go Ahead…Commit Me

Go Ahead…Commit Me

Albert Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. If this quote is accurate (and I am inclined to believe that it is), I’m insane. Sad, but true. Insane. Certifiable. Seriously, go ahead and lock me up. I constantly find myself repeating behaviors and expecting different [...] [...more]

“Always Give God The Glory”

“Always Give God The Glory”

This video kills me… It kills me because even though I agree with everything Colt shares, it usually quite awhile after my dreams are shattered to remember to “never question why things happen the way they do” and to “always give God the glory.” I am so impressed with his maturity and his boldness. Go Colt…you will [...] [...more]

Fear of Flying

Fear of Flying

I don’t even remember the first time I got on an airplane. I just know that it was before I was deductive enough to ponder (and be terrified of) the concept: a very large and heavy metal object takes off into the sky and then an hour or so later lands hundreds of miles away. [...] [...more]

With Gratitude

With Gratitude

Sometimes it is easier to focus on the things I don’t have. But I’ve found that’s no way to live. Instead I want to be someone who constantly feels blessed. Because in all reality I have everything I need, and more. So in honor of the season of Thanksgiving, I have decided to publicly express my [...] [...more]

Relearning Extravagance

Relearning Extravagance

On Sunday morning, I was in Birmingham so I found myself at Church of the Highlands instead of being at Cross Point for the culmination of Faith, Hope, and Love. And candidly I was somewhat relieved because Pete Wilson has been packing each Sunday full of punches straight to my gut. God has been seriously speaking [...] [...more]
