WHAT IS FAITH AND HOW DO I GET IT?

by

I want to live like Jesus. I hope that I willingly surrender in order to seek Him more. I  wish I didn’t crave the things of this world. But I have a problem. There is a war going on inside. I cannot figure out how to manipulate God to give me exactly what I want and when I want it. And if I’m going to live … Read More WHAT IS FAITH AND HOW DO I GET IT?

Jumpstart January with Jesus

by

I realize that Christmas has come and gone, but yet I find myself lingering. As I pack up the decorations and stack them away, I realize my house feels a bit empty. With no stockings all hung by the chimney with care and the nativity scene out of sight, I desire to cling to the memories in order to remind myself…Jesus is still right here. … Read More Jumpstart January with Jesus

How do we renew our mind?

by

This week has been filled with broken things. A broken windshield. A leaky kitchen faucet. A car that won’t work. It’s obvious…we live in a broken world. Despite our brokenness, God reveals who He is. We can experience the fullness of God. Read more…

Who says “Quiet Time” has to be quiet?

by

I have to admit, I can be pretty set in my ways. Recently, God showed me that I need to be more open minded about my daily quiet time. It doesn’t need to be at a set time, in a certain location, or even look like everyone else’s. My time with God can happen all day long…even in the midst of my chaos.

New Bible Study this Fall!

by

Hi ATX friends, I am excited to announce a new women’s Bible study for the fall! Come join me for The Good Portion: Mary and Martha, a 6-week study peering into the theology of two sisters. As women, many of us quickly relate to Martha, wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We find ourselves wrestling with busyness, inadequacy, resentment, and comparison. … Read More New Bible Study this Fall!

Where is your Hope?

by

It has been an especially long summer. I found myself waiting and longing to take a much-needed family vacation. My longings grew as I scrolled through pictures on Facebook and Instagram of friends and family, jealously wishing I could be where they are. On the beach. In the mountains. Anywhere but home. I found myself wrestling repeatedly with discontentment. I wanted what someone else … Read More Where is your Hope?

Why Does God Command Us to Be Still?

by

But maybe there’s something bigger going on that we don’t readily see. Maybe we take comfort in our busyness because we don’t want to Just Be.

Pretty perfect night with the fam #lakeaustin #summer i It's official. I am the second to last shortest Allen in the family. Come and get me Comey! #short and #tall When I was five years old, I really, REALLY wanted to have a pet. I begged and begged my parents for all kinds of animals to come live in our home. I remember being allowed to babysit the pet gerbil from my kindergarten class over one weekend and sitting in my room for hours and playing with that little critter. You would think that would be the tipping point for my parents. They could ignore me all weekend! I kept to myself. No arguing with my brothers. No whining that I had nothing to do. When the little critter went back to school, I kept up the fight. I enlisted my two brothers alongside me. My parents were outnumbered. We thought of all the reasons why a pet was a necessity in our home. It would teach us responsibility. It would be a companion for us. We would teach it tricks. We would somehow get jobs and pay for the pet food and supplies. And then a lightbulb went off in my head. I would get God on my side. I would ask Him for a pet too. “Dear Jesus, I want a pet. I want a kitten. A cute, cuddly kitten that I can sleep with and eat with and push around in my doll stroller. But if that’s not okay with you, a puppy is fine too.” Funny how much our prayers sound like my childhood prayer. We feel like we have to convince God to do what we want Him to do. We feel compelled to explain to God all the reasons why we need Him to answer. We think we have to prove ourselves. Maybe we need to give God some new information or inspire Him with some fresh ideas. Maybe if we talk more, He will listen. We feel like God is holding out on us and we have to put up a fight. We have to pray harder and longer and maybe…just maybe, He will see our side. This kind of praying puts a wedge between God and us…as if God were some kind of hoarder and we have to win His will.

His smile is still contagious! #mission #haiti Addie has a unique gift of making friends wherever she goes. She is soooo loved by the community of Neply and it absolutely blows me away. People constantly are inviting her to their homes, introducing her to their families, and seeing her genuineness shine through. Love this girl! @mylifespeaks
