Week 5: Confessions of a Worry-and-Complain-a-holic

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.                                                                                                                      "After the Storm" - Mumford and Sons

Here I go again...

                   ...worry, worry, worry....

                                             ...complain, complain, complain...

                                                                    ...NOT sleep, NOT sleep, NOT sleep...

 For all your perfectionists out there, I feel as if you may be able to share my pain. This week was both a week of emotion recovery and frustration as well as physical exhaustion and break down. 

21-Day Prayer Challenge Wrap Up

Know what I mean when I say in most prayers you never truly realize what you're really praying for...

...like praying for patience...really want the situations that build that quality in you??
             ...like praying to be better with change...because that's basically saying come "screw up" my neat life.
                             ...like praying for directions and God-sized dreams....

Week 4 - Little Inspirations

This week was a busy busy week of dreams, work, and friendship. It ended with about 22 hrs in the presence of God with about 300 other leaders at National Community Church. Together, we listened to challenging words and we responded with prayers and worship. There was moments of pure fellowship, of pure brokenness, of pure inspiration, and of pure joy. Needless to say, it was an exhilarating exciting adrenaline God-filled moments - and ended with pure contented exhaustion. I left feeling like my mind and body could not handle an other minute of the pretense of God.

I hope these pictures, words, and music inspire you as they have me because right now they speak more than any words I 

know.

Week 3 - DaNce

Life's a dance you learn as you go, 

sometimes you lead & sometimes you follow - Don't worry about what you don't know

Life's a dance you learn as you go

There is a lot said about dancing and quotes declaring meaning...

- poetry in motion
                - Dance like no one's watching
                                  - release of the soul's true self
                                                      - movements of the devil
                                                                             - worship in action
                                                                                          ... the list could goes on and one.

It's my personal opinion that ANYONE can dance! Yes, you heard me right - ANYONE can dance!

Week 2 - Birthday Reflections

I'm the person who tends to make big deals out of small things -- for good or bad. So....BIRTHDAYS are kind of a big deal in my book. I love celebrating that day with someone! And yes, because it's a testimony of a what the Lord has done over the past year, a day to reflect on His blessings; but also because it's JUST FUN!

Week 1 - Mission Possible

So I did it....I went to Mission Impossible 4...

(I know - groans and moans gulor but I actually liked it -- please hold you hissing or from throwing eggs!) 

In Year in Review and Preview

 "He will keep in perfect peace those whose mind are steadfast, for they trust in Him. Trust in the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock Eternal" - Isaiah 26:4

As 2011 came to a close, I spent the last month or so really just trying to catch up. It was a year of filled pursuit - being pursued by God as well as pursuing God like never before. Come November, I was weary - emotionally, physically, and relationally.

I needed to go home.
