Being Perfect is…Ridiculous

Tweet It’s not easy being perfect, believe me. In fact, it’s exhausting. Quite exhausting. Overwhelming. Ridiculous. But, feels like it’s the right thing to strive for when things get crazy. I lose footing and scramble to make it up. The last 2.5 years have been very hard. Not like, I’m-being-persecuted-hard, but more like My-life-has-changed-more-times-than-my-hair-color hard. It started with our decision to leave the church we loved, start a business and try something new. Followed up withread more…

Snot Factory To Blame

Tweet For the better part of two weeks, I’ve had the worst sinus/cold/I’m-going-to-die thing going on in my face! It started right before Bible Study nearly two weeks ago and I thought, “Meh, this will be gone by the time I hit the road with my girlfriends to Dallas.” WRONG! That Thursday I stayed in bed and hubs took the girls to co-op. I did go on that fun trip to Dallas/IKEA/SamMoon/everything-a-girl-loves and had a blast. However,read more…

Pity Party Invitation

Tweet Well, here’s the deal: I have gestational diabetes. There, I said it. Not for your benefit, but for mine. “Natalie, you have gestational diabetes, now are you going to keep going to your pity party of one, or punch the enemy in the nose and get on with living?” This is what I ask myself. I am amazed at how quickly my mind can turn and obsess over something that I can’t control. Oh, Iread more…

Heads Down? Hands Up?

Tweet The other night I was in bed literally just flipping through the Bible. I landed in 2 Chronicles 7 where Solomon is about to dedicate the temple to God. When he finished praying, God’s glory came down and filled the temple. People were freakin’! They hit the pavement like an Okie in a tornado and they worshiped. Flip a page backward. Solomon is about to pray over the temple. The Bible says, “Solomon stood beforeread more…

What Do You Pray

Tweet Last night, at our annual Church staff event, we had the honor of sitting at the feet of Andy Stanley. And again, when God places you in a position to hear, you better listen. Andy said many a wonderful thing, but one thing stood out. He was explaining to us some things he does with his staff and he focused in on prayer. He often listens to what the staff is praying for and whatread more…

halp!

Tweet I’m looking at a blank blogger post section. Well, now it’s not because I’m typing, but I’m only typing to fill in the space. That’s kind of my brain lately, little bit blank. I hear it’s called “pregnancy brain,” but, whatever. So, here’s the deal. I need your prayers! I’m teaching a four week intensive to some of the staff at church about studying the Bible/developing a personal time with Christ/living with the Holy Spiritread more…

Mirror, Mirror

Tweet I really do love it when God decides to turn up the heat, dig out the ugly, scrape the dross off the top… you get the idea. It’s been two weeks of Him holding a mirror up to me while I pick through the zits of my sins and confess each and every one. It’s not pretty, but immaturity in Him will always produce a pus-filled sin problem on the face of our spirit. Unlessread more…

In a Rather Large Nutshell

Tweet Last week I talked about my love for God’s Word. I shared with you how it has changed me, how I find truth there, and how it is my lifeline. In the comments, an “Anonymous” wanted to know how I go about studying the Bible. Well, let me see if I can share with you what I do and maybe it could help you. Some stuff you might want to know about me first. 1.read more…

I Think About Irish Farmers

Tweet I tend to think about the span of life often. I find myself wondering about people I’ll never meet and those millions, billions, who have lived and died on this same planet without name or recognition. I wonder about them. What were they like? What did they do? How did they survive through the Black Plague or keep their head up during their captivity in Egypt. What were the moms like? Did they weep atread more…
