Snot Factory To Blame

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 [...]

Pity Party Invitation

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 [...]

Heads Down? Hands Up?

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 [...]

What Do You Pray

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 [...]

halp!

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 [...]

A 3-Word Prayer

Prayer isn’t always long and full of requests. Right now I have a 3-word prayer:

Open My Eyes

What’s your three word prayer?

Mirror, Mirror

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 [...]

In a Rather Large Nutshell

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 [...]

I Think About Irish Farmers

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 [...]

Dry Idea

I’ve heard people say concerning their walk with Jesus, that they are in a “dry spell.” In other words, they “don’t hear the Lord,” or “don’t feel anything,” or “don’t get anything out of the word.”

I don’t meant to be a party-pooper or disqualify what you might be feeling, but let me offer another suggestion:

Maybe [...]
