Before 90210 and Felicity, I got my teen angst fix from Archie Comics {and, of course, some Baby-Sitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High}. I always loved seeing what trouble Betty, Veronica and the gang would get into and try to guess who might win Archie’s affections {maybe Archie is why I believe red-heads are the cutest boys around?}. I distinctly remember […]
To attend that party? To play on that team? To sit at that table? To go on that trip? It’s okay. It really is okay. It wasn’t okay at first. I was hurt as everyone whispered plans and gushed about the fun to be had. I was wistful as I watched every picture go up on Instagram. I was angry as names were […]
Last week on the Timothy’s Gift Hope Tour, Melissa shared at each prison a beautiful message from John 8. We probably know or at least recognize the story… 1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach […]
I’m on a bus headed back from prison. I went because my incredibly talented and graceful friend Melissa Greene has told me for years that I need to come and see the incredible and life-changing work of Timothy’s Gift. And you guys, there really aren’t enough words but I’m going to try anyway…but hear me say […]
Hey. My name is Lindsey. That’s me crouched on the front left with the stripes surrounded by women I get to serve on the IF:Gathering leadership team. Many of them you probably recognize — they lead your bible studies, they takeover your twitter feed for the Olympics, Miss America and the Oscars {and make you cry laughing}, they write […]
Wow. It’s been a year. I feel like the several years {2o10, 2011, 2012, 2013 and now 2014} have been YEARS. You know the kind of years that give you grey hairs and make you realize you are getting older, and a maybe just a bit wearier. As life has sped up {and the interwebs […]
Last weekend I took a group from our office, our IF:Terns and a few others, to Dallas to experience a few of my favorite Christmas traditions…my dad’s chili, the over-the-top Dallas Christmas lights, and Behold The Lamb of God. {If we had just thrown a Hallmark movie in, I would have been in Christmas heaven. I […]
One of my favorite things about the IF:Gathering is how women have been inspired to lead in their places, in their homes, in their churches, in their communities, and in their cities. IF is being lead by women who live down the street, women who work down the hall, women who have raised their hands and said, […]
As I type this, the movers are packing the contents of my house into cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes and placing them like Jenga blocks into the back of a semi truck. Life as I know it is about to change…again. I’ve been talking about this move…for months, but oddly I’m still in […]
Man, this one is a hard one to write and I’m not quite sure why. Maybe because somehow blogging about it makes it feel more real? Maybe because I know it will provoke questions I am not ready to answer? Maybe because I know some of your reading this should have heard it directly from me […]
