Weekend Worship – Psalm 150
Praise the Lord. 1 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Father God, no matter where we are, we will praise your Holy and Mighty Name. You are our Mighty Savior, our One and Only. You are ALL we need. 2 Praise him for his acts of power;…

Receiving Grace
Last week I spent five days and four nights in Dallas, Texas at the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference. This was my eighth year to go and yet again God had some things to show me. Maybe you're wondering why I'm sharing this here since I keep my fiction side (nonfiction authors call it…

Weekend Worship – Psalm 149
Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people. Lord, hear our songs of worship and take them as our offering of love and adoration. And thank you for singing over us! We adore you! 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people…

Astonish Us, Lord!
Yesterday many in the S.U.M. fasted and/or prayed for Rash Hashanah. Did God reveal something new to you? Be sure to jump over to our Facebook page and share. We'll be talking about it there as well as here. “Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I…

Forget the Devos. Let’s Worship!
My friends, I sensed God’s leading this week to change our Weekend Devo to Weekend Worship. We are a community bonded together by a common desire to see our loved ones know God as we do and our hearts are knitted together by a love for Jesus and each other. Lynn and I are continually…

God, I Need to Hear From You
Ever have one of those weeks where you end in a completely different place than where you started? That’s what happened to me last week and this was the prayer of my heart. God, I need to hear from You. I needed direction, guidance and affirmation. You name it, I needed. Life had taken a…

Weekend Devo- What’s Your Mountain Top?
This is the hilltop in the middle of a park that's in walking distance to my home. In the background you see the hills that back up behind the cluster and crowded homes in my neiborhood. This place is my mountain top where I sometimes go to walk and pray-an oasis in the middle of…

One More Story…
My friends, I don’t think I ever shared in detail about how things played out with my daughter’s cancer. Maybe it needed to be now so that I can share in context of how God comes, shows up and works in ways that are blatantly astonishing or the opposite, so subtle that we don’t realize…

Let Me Tell You a Story…
This is a story I wrote in 2006, but it actually happened to me during the Summer of 2002. The reason I want to share this is because it shows how God can work in a simple activity like grocery shopping. God showed up BIG that day for me and I wasn't the only affected.…

Who is This Man?
On Sunday my hubby called me from the disc golf course and asked if I’d like to go to a movie with him. It took me a few seconds in my fumbling surprise to say yes. Why? Because we have had this ongoing disconnect about going to the movies. I know this sounds a bit…

Weekend Devo – Blow Away Again…By You
My dear and precious friends, Yesterday I read all your comments on our post from August 6th about our visit with FamilyLife Today. I am blown away and so very humbled. To read your stories and hear your hearts in each one…I cried. My daughter walked in and asked me what was wrong. I showed…

More Than Just Waiting, Part 2
Yesterday I left you with the question, what is the key to this? In other words, what is the key to worshiping God even as we wait? Back up to verse Isaiah 40:26: “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:” What if that lift of our eyes is a constant state of awareness-constantly…

More Than Just Waiting, Part 1
In June of 2008 I wrote a series on waiting (has it been that long?!?!?). And we have talked about waiting on God in our marriages A LOT. I’ve come to believe that waiting is a constant part of our faith journey. We wait for prayers to be answered, we wait for God to open…

Weekend Devo – Our Greatest Testimony
As I was walking the other day, I had what I call a dream vision. Basically this is my imagination running a little wild with possibility. In this “drimagination” I was with my husband in front of a group and we were sharing our testimony about our faith journeys, walking from a mismatched couple to…

Arrogance or Confidence?
My call to jury duty last month was the closest I’ve come so far to being seated on a jury. In years past my number has either squeaked by anonymously, or, like last year, the jury was completed just before I would have been interviewed. It's a fascinating process and as I listened to the…

Weekend Devo – Pascal’s Wager: Worth the Gamble?
Have you heard of Pascal's Wager? I looked it up recently and ask my husband about it. I was curious what he thought of such a theory coming from Blaise Pascal, a scientist whose been influential in his own scientific persuits and beliefs. From Wikipedia: It posits that there's more to be gained from wagering on…

In Search of Worship
I’m on a mission right now. And no, my name isn’t Lexie Baltimore. (wink) No, my mission has to do with figuring out how to hear God more clearly in my life. Does that resonate with you, because it’s a need that’s driving me a bit crazy at the moment. Perhaps it’s the chaos that…

Weekend Devo – We Are Not Alone!
On Wednesday I was on the Moms Together Facebook Page (special thanks to Suzie Eller for having me) and the most common comment I saw as the women there shared their hearts about being mismatched was their relief to find out they're not alone. As I shared in our book, that was life changing for…

LIft Up Your Face
In case you haven't figured this out yet, I'm a huge Third Day fan. I find their music so worship-filled and inspiring. And when I listen to music like that, I begin to hear God's voice. Seems to just work that way for me. For Lynn, it's her prayer walks. For me it's music. Another…

Weekend Devo – The Sound of Your Voice
I just have to share this song with you, my friends. It's by Third Day, and brings me to my knees everytime I hear it. Listen to God's voice as you listen to the words. Praying & believing,Dineen
