This week I was at church when the preacher told us a story about weddings, and how he has been in a lot of them.  He said the primary advice for bridesmaids or groomsmen is to realize that the wedding isn’t about them.  He then went on to compare how our me-centric view has distorted…

These last 6 weeks have been pretty difficult for me, mainly because I’ve been traveling for work just about each week.  This is the culprit of this neglected blog, an outrageous eating out bill, and also feeling a bit lost with where God is taking me. Last Sunday, I was convicted at Church that I’ve…

I’m reading more of my study in Exodus, led by Dr. Bill Mounce.  In this portion, he notes that the point of the Exodus was for God to reveal the purpose of our lives: to reflect more of His glory.  The plagues, the crossing of the red sea, the wandering in the wilderness – all…

I decided to flip back to Exodus to follow along with a study of some of the major stories in the Bible, and I read this quote from Moses that just speaks to how I feel as I’ve come out of my own mini-exodus 🙂 “The Lord is my strength and my song, and he…

Just got out of a meeting that had the potential to be really bad or mediocre at best. God blessed me with a meeting that surpassed my expectations.

I just sweated off all the water I drank today driving around Raleigh with an air conditioner that decided to start blowing hotter air than outside. Rolled down windows also weren’t on the menu for me today either, I guess my car felt extra lazy today after the 3 day weekend.

I was reading 2 Corinthians last night when I read the following: So we do not lose heart.  Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.  For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to…

Right now I have just boarded a plane back to NC from Seattle. Normally, I have to wake up at 4, barely get breakfast and have to wait in long security lines. This time I have been blessed with the opposite. Not only did I get to bypass security, but I got upgraded to a…

I’m thankful for: – A wonderful time to hang out with my mom on Sunday, just us girls. – My coworker making hashbrown casserole for her husband and then bringing it in to work! – Today being Cinco de Mayo.  This means our office will celebrate by having many types of dip. – The celebration…

Today I read Luke 12:22, a verse that reveals and shows the nature of God towards us.  In this passage, I am forced to put aside my need to control and just consider the care and provision of God. How amazing is our value to God. “And he said to his disciples,  “Therefore I tell…

Lately I’ve been in a very soul searching mood.  I didn’t update last week because quite frankly I needed some time to think about things. Thursday was a big day trip to a client and I had one of those days where I really just wanted to give up and trade the suit I was…

After the craziness of last week, I never really updated on God’s goodness. Maundy Thursday was a long day, but it was a day that I saw the light at the end of the tunnel at work (at least a glimpse of it).  All of the sections in our proposal were turned into design and…
