Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her. It wasn't 20 minutes later that we all realized what was going on... Mandy, her husband Scott, and their … {Read More}

Be the Hands and Feet of Jesus + Grace & Truth {Week 56}

At the beginning of January we had a major crisis. Our oldest daughter (5) was admitted to the hospital with possible appendicitis. We were frantic. Who would watch our youngest? Who would take out the puppy we'd just gotten the day before? How would we be able to swing this on our own.

Resolutions that are "all about me" aren't always bad things, but as Christians it's good to set some resolutions that are about others as well. Will you resolve to be more missions-focused this year? From Shirley @ STC

Five Movies to Watch This Month for a Missions Focused Year

January has come and gone. Resolutions have been made. Some are still progressing and some are already forgotten. We get so disappointed with ourselves, don't we? The New Year comes and we hope for our lives to improve. Then we fall short of our newly made resolutions and wait for the next new year to roll around. But God is the God of new life - and to my way of thinking that means He can … {Read More}

Grace & Truth : A Weekly Christian Link Up

While You Wait + Grace & Truth {Week 55}

We all find ourselves in a season of waiting from time to time. Whether it's short-term (an anticipated phone call) or long-term (praying for the salvation of a loved one), waiting is hard for even the steadiest of believers. This week my oldest is turning five and I'm using this time to reflect on the waiting that I endured before she was born. I yearned for a baby for years before the Lord … {Read More}
