Write the Vision: Meet... My Father
http://christiecox.blogspot.com/2011/06/meet-my-father.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. What better way to start off this blog series than with the most influential man in my life, Mark Cox. And on the most appropriate day of the year: Father's Day. Who is this man? Not sure if it ever actually worked but I liked to think it did. When so many of my friends are without fathers or with lousy fathers who don't take their role seriously, why would I ever push away one of the greatest father figures this world could contain? And not to reject. That was insightful and revea...

Write the Vision: March 2011
http://christiecox.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. I'm really afraid this post will not even come close to conveying what actually happened during my spring break this year, but I hope somehow my words can formulate a little of all that was experienced. There was a reason for why God chose to invade our spring break like He did. I don't want it to be in vain and even when the emotion and feeling has died away I want to continue cultivating a deeper relationship with Christ and also with the incredible friends He has blessed...

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Fear, Love, and Forsakenness. The lesson was a continuation from a two-part lesson on "What does it mean to love? The first part was an overview of 1 Corinthians 13- the infamous passage on love. I had so many amazing discoveries in that as well. But this one was a little different. After a few verses in 1 John 3 we moved on to 1 John 4:18-19:. The original Greek word for "casts out". For fear has to do with punishment.". Fear is directly related to the absence of God in our liv...

http://christiecox.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 1, 2009. If you are a typical human being, you will experience at least several monumental moments over the course of your life. The first day of school. Learning to ride a bike. Graduating High School. Getting married. Having a baby. These are what we would call milestones. Every person has them, big or small, public or private. This is what we tell ourselves, and even if we never consciously think those thoughts, society has us believing that if anyone ever knew we went to counseling, ...

Write the Vision: September 2012
http://christiecox.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 1, 2012. The Paradox of Death. There is something intriguing about paradoxes. They don't make sense at first, but most of us enjoy the attempt to analyze them and see how the puzzle pieces fit together. Many of the paradoxes introduced by Jesus in Scripture are not only mysterious but are downright confusing. How is it that the last shall be first? Why must you lose your life in order to find it? When did nature start to turn on itself? In transgressions." Ephesians 2:4-5. He has also...

Write the Vision: The Experience of Praise
http://christiecox.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-experience-of-praise.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. The Experience of Praise. It is quite common to suddenly "come to" in the middle of life and wonder where the time has gone. Sometimes a large chunk of time has passed without any real difference taking place overall. Months can pass by, and even years, and when that moment arrives we often wonder if, or when, something may change. The Lord that transcends all knowledge. Does all of this sound bipolar? All withstanding relationships are messy. The gospel is messy. Life ...In my...

Sunday, July 31, 2011. Wildflower #2- My Mother. So as you can see, my hopes for becoming a regular blogger have not exactly held up. But here I am to continue with another Wildflower in my life- my Mother. Last week my mom emailed me about something I got in the mail she thought I'd be interested in, and signed off with the usual "Love you! Did you get my email about the mail? Life is unimaginable without her present and active in my life. Thank you, Momma, for showing me a healthy life and raising ...
