Rachel Phillips: January 2013
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. The Rich Young Ruler and Me. A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Why do you call me good? Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone. You know the commandments: 'You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'". All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said. When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. Is tha...

Rachel Phillips: July 2011
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Before you get to see the surprise, you need the background story. Two years ago, Gloria and I loaded up her jeep and drove from Washington state to Kentucky. Elayna was 10 months old. A few months after we got there, I was trying to explain to EV how much I loved her. I would ask her, "How much does your Eeooch love you? I would put my hands out as far as I could while I said, "THIS.MUCH! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Check out these Blogs! I Really Like My Kids. Matt, Lori, and Eli.

Rachel Phillips: September 2013
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. For in Him we live and move and have our being. Instead of grading like I planned. Instead of planning out my lessons for tomorrow. Instead of watching mindless episodes of "Friends" or any other television show.tonight.I tried something new. But tonight, I am meditating on God's revelation of who he is and how he has revealed Jesus to us. This week, I have decided to revel in this idea that "for in him we live and move and have our being". Only, I don't want to just know it.

Rachel Phillips: July 2012
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 30, 2012. Oh, How He Loves Us. God moving people, moves me. How powerful is the love of God, and oh, how it moves me. How He Loves Us by David Crowder Band. He is jealous for me,. Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,. Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy. When all of a sudden,. I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,. And I realize just how beautiful You are,. And how great Your affections are for me. And oh, how He loves us so,. Oh how He loves us,. He loves us,.

Rachel Phillips: May 2011
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2011. A few of the weirdest feelings:. For the first night of this school year, I do not have any work for school. Oh, oh, there is plenty of work to do for NEXT year, but for this year, work is done! It is possibly the weirdest feeling ever. Note: I am sitting on my couch wondering if I'm totally crazy because my thoughts are drifting into getting a head start for next year. Ha ha. My first 7th grade class at Shafer are freshman! The joy and tenderness that I felt as I hugged them goo...

Rachel Phillips: February 2012
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. I went to visit Aaron (Mark and Diane) this weekend. The original purpose of my visit was to be "child care" while Mark and Diane went out for their Valentine's Day dinner/surprise concert. As soon as Aaron found out I was coming, he asked me if we could paint. OF COURSE! I immediately started scouting out Pinterest to find some cute ideas. We had SO MUCH FUN! Aaron decided that we should hang his painting on his bedroom door so everyone knows it's his room. :-).

http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2011/09/longing-for-time.html
Sunday, September 18, 2011. Longing for a time. I'm sitting on my couch with my computer open to my blog and my ipad open to Psalms knowing that the writer of Psalms seems to know my heart. As I try to choose just one. My heart is going in shifts today. When I try to choose just one. Song or poem, I am discovering that there isn't one. How do you express one heart when it is all broken into pieces? All pieces long for a time of healing. This is my psalm:. How long will it be? Why can't I hear You? Surely...

Rachel Phillips: "Not playing" is never an option.
http://rachelphillips.blogspot.com/2011/11/not-playing-is-never-option.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Not playing" is never an option. As I opened the case, I tried to remember the last time I played. I couldn’t. Sometime in college. Marching band. Sophomore year. Fall of 2002. Almost 10 years ago. Maybe I can remember. Skills as a clarinetist weren't exactly critical. And yet, 10 years later at 11:40pm, this. Memory floods my brain, with the resounding theme that seems to have stuck with me. You always show up. You always play. After all, not playing is never an option. Is th...
