I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Wednesday, July 9, 2014. Why We Need to Stop Saying."He's All Boy! However I wonder. what if I were born a boy who had more feminine traits? What if I didn't like sports and preferred shopping? What if I preferred to hang out with girls because guy culture seemed too crude? What if I liked doing my nails and my favorite color was pink? What if I hated guns and was into fashion? What if my favorite movies were not action films but romance? Or how about when he ...

Last night I had the best devotion ever and it wasn't because I was sitting quietly focused reading my Bible. Not that good devotions don't happen that way, but for me it was different this time. Devotions should help us love God with all our heart, mind, and soul through encountering the living Christ. This is what it means to do devotions. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Thursday, April 17, 2014. I will never forget the time I thought I completely failed during a job interview. It was more than a job, it was a leadership position on the Barnabas Team at Calvin College. A male and female Barnabas leader were assigned to a dorm to help other residents grow spiritually. Barnabas leaders were responsible for living their lives vulnerably reflecting Christ to others. What was the instruction that I gave you? The main interviewer ha...

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Saturday, May 11, 2013. Born to Be a Mom? I saw a Mother's Day card at the store with the title, "Born to be a Mother." I didn't read the rest but my thoughts couldn't help but be alarmed. This presumes that some women's entire purpose for existing is to be a mom. I love being a mom, but it is not the core of who I am. It is not the reason I was born. I absolutely love and cherish the gift of being a mother! Yet, I cannot always rely on my son to make me happy...

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Monday, October 28, 2013. Dear United Methodist Church. In honor of Martin Luther and Reformation Day (yesterday) here is what I would post to the door of the United Methodist Church or Headquarters.

The UMC goals listed on your website for a "Vital Congregation" are the following. 2) Numbers of profession of faiths. 4) Numbers of small groups.

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Friday, December 14, 2012. Today I am wearing that sweatshirt. You know, the snowboarding one you bought me when I was in high school. I remember pulling it off the rack and longing for the image of what the sweatshirt promised, "Authentic Roxy Snowboard Riding". I was super into snowboarding and the image that came along with it. I didn't think I would ever own the shirt, I was just looking and maybe drooling. I'll buy it for you." You said. Rest in Peace,.

I will never forget the moment when my son was born when I finally knew he was a he! The surgeon told my husband to look over the blue curtain hanging to hide my c-section in order to call out the gender. Andrew said with a huge smile on his face. Our heart was not set on any specific gender. Here are some reasons my husband and I prefer to wait. 1 We love surprises. Instead of a bun...

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Monday, February 18, 2013. Many people during my teenage and young adult years (especially lately) have been asking when I am going to go to seminary to get ordained. For those who have been asking, this conversation with my husband pretty much sums up how I feel. I love mentoring and listening to stories. I love teaching the Bible in a radical way. I want to inspire passion, vision, and enthusiasm for God! Andrew: "I got it! You know what you should do? For t...

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Tuesday, April 7, 2015. There is Andrew Tidball, and we are married. Maybe that’s weird, but we have known each other since our childhood so sometimes it feels like my past and future collided. Seeing what was a dream, become real was absolutely the most incredible experience that words cannot describe. I still have moments the more I get to know their personality in which I think, Whoa! This is for real! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For the...

I am not my own I was paid for with a price. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I handed my baby boy over to his day care teacher and I ran out the door to get as much done as possible in the next five hours baby free! My mind was racing with a to do list. Gotta prioritize! What should I get done first? Go up the hill." - Said some voice in my head. I need to utilize every minute possible! I will do it later." - Said my own voice in my head. I wanted answers. I tried just sitting in silence, looking for ...
