Yesterday, I was talking to my husband about some decisions we need to make. My concern was that I was allowing my fears to hinder Eric from following the path Christ would have for us. I leaned over to him and said, "I want to be your helpmate, not your helpweight!" After I said it, I laughed hysterically at how silly it sounded; but, after thinking it through, I wondered how many times I've acted more as a weight for him to carry than as a suitable helper propelling him forward in his calling. When I was single, I remember asking the Lord for a husband that knew his calling and would not … [Read more...]

Under the Weather
So I'm sick… again. I may have eaten enough chicken noodle soup in the past couple months to spike Campbell's stock up at least fifteen points. For most of the day, I've been sleeping, but in an attempt to not feel completely worthless, I got out of bed and cleaned the kitchen. My husband asked me yesterday to make him a doctor's appointment, so I crawled out of bed to make the call. After I made the appointment, he asked me if I received certain information from the receptionist that he had not originally asked me to obtain (though, he thought I should have already known to do so). So, like … [Read more...]
Video poem… on waiting
The following clip is powerful. As my wife recalls her early adult years, and even her teen years, she remembers these emotions clearly. She remembers the struggles and temptations during that period of time. As you watch, listen to the Lord speaking to your heart. Are you waiting, really waiting, for the Lord? Or, are you trying to form your own destiny by taking matters into your own hands? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igCj3jsbcqs … [Read more...]
While I’m Waiting (John Waller)
For many of us, waiting is an annoying process. Who among us, if being completely honest, really likes to wait for anything? In American society, if we have to wait more than 60 seconds in a restaurant drive thru, we start to get irritated. And if we’re getting a morning cup of coffee or breakfast bite and we’re getting close to being late for work, we may start getting angry! In a world that tries to cram every bit of production possible into every minute, waiting seems like a gross, unforgivable waste of time. Because of our fast-paced, self-centered living, we often struggle with waiting on … [Read more...]
