Episode 20: Contentment
In our Christmas edition of the podcast, we talk about "A Woman's Greatest Gift,"—her emotional health. When a woman possesses and practices the three fold cord of emotional health and spiritual authenticity: a healthy sense of self, healthy behavior patterns and...
If Cathedrals Could Talk.
Found another little golden nugget, or should I say visual feast, today as I continued to transfer files onto my hard drive. Couldn't help but revel in the austere beauty of the work of Michelangelo, as witnessed while visiting Vatican City, Summer 2009. Don't mind...
The Call 2 Worship: We all want to belong.
"Mam, you really need to empty your hard drive before your laptop really throws a fit," Rich, a robust, intelligent Apple employee commented. "Oh dear," I smiled. "I had no idea it was so full. No wonder it is dragging." So, I trotted home to begin the "emptying" onto...
I want that woman.
Little did I know that the path to my Masters Degree would be so self-actualizing, meaning, drive me to scrutinize my core and examine my sense of self, God-given personality and capabilities, mental boundaries, and so much more, all in the light of God's Word. It has...
Fresh Word for 2012: The Call of Freedom
Have you ever hit a brick wall? No, really, have you? As a writing teacher, idioms are a blast to teach: a drop in the bucket, a blessing in disguise, a chip on the shoulder, ants in the pants, etc. In 2011, one idiom cried out to me: hit a brick wall. Sometimes in...
Final Farewell to 2011, Hello to 2012! Ripples of Influence.
"Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another." -Napoleon Hill Here at the beginning of 2012, I've been delighting in spending loads of time with Candace Rose this week and...
Farewell 2011, Hello 2012! Be an influencer.
One of the most significant truths realized in 2011 was that of being an influencer. It seemed as if a WWE-sized struggle was taking place between personal ambition and holy calling. Is bigger always better? Is more, more, more, a sign of God's favor? Is growth only...
Farewell 2011, Hello 2012: Taking Dangerous Thoughts Captive!
It has been so good to look back over 2011 and see everything God has done in my heart. It is times like these that I am really glad I journal. Otherwise, a great deal of heart work would be forgotten. Just today, I found two pages full of some difficult heart work,...
Farewell 2011, Hello 2012! Leaning Harder than Ever!
“Sovereign Commander of the Universe, I am sadly harassed by doubts, fears, unbelief, in a felt spiritual darkness. My heart is full of evil surmising and disquietude, and I cannot act faith at all. My heavenly pilot has disappeared, and I have lost my hold on the...
Farewell 2011, Hello 2012! Lessons from Lewis
Here we are on the eve of 2012. There is something spectacular about the seconds before the world's clock turns from 2011 to 2012. Ah! the possibilities of a blank slate. A new year. 365 days to fresh starts. As I reflect on the highlights of 2011, my time at JMU's...
Farewell 2011, Hello 2012: Oh, I Want to Hear the Voice of God!
“Listening is different. It expands on hearing when we pay attention to the meaning of what we hear. We do that when we’re merely hearing the words someone else is speaking. They’re just vibrations in the atmosphere. We nod, smile, perhaps even respond, but are we...
