String of Moments: 09.2014
http://stringofmoments.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. Rebuilt on the Cornerstone. This past year has been a huge lesson for me on faith. Everything I thought I knew has been torn down, rebuilt, torn down, rebuilt, etc. You get the idea. I have been made aware of strongholds in my life and God has used a scalpel to extract that sin. I have been completely broken. Yet, the beauty that has come from this is awesome. I am so thankful to God that He loves me so much that He continues to work in me. It is a humbling exercise. Each word...

String of Moments: The Ichthus
http://stringofmoments.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-ichthus.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. When I was 18 we had to take a test, during a college/career assessment. This test would help us determine what jobs would be the best for us depending on our personality. I had no real idea what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I was relying on this test. As I reviewed the results, I saw the job of mortician and instantly knew this test wouldn’t help me. So I researched highest paying jobs with least amount of school. I found financial advisor. My friend suggested a tattoo.

String of Moments: The Heart
http://stringofmoments.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-heart.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. This saying was posted to Facebook:. Here’s to the girls:. Whose fathers broke their. Hearts before any boy could. Parents, by nature, are going to make mistakes. They are human, they have emotion, and they don’t know everything. That is part of this journey called life. I’m extremely tired of blaming parents for life’s hardships. We live in a world where people desire to be the victim and will do anything to live in that role. My parents were never married. For the next decade of m...

Tuesday, January 28, 2014. I read this quote on a blog and it got me thinking about how we communicate with each other. Before texting and social media, you had to talk to other people with your voice and your words and your tone. Whether that was through a phone or face-to-face, you could understand more than the written word allows. I remember in high school I sat at a table with three other girls in science class. One girl pulled out her lipstick and started to put some on. I was excited and amazed.

String of Moments: 03.2014
http://stringofmoments.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 24, 2014. Over the last several weeks I’ve been experiencing destruction. Every thought, hope, dream, and desire has been stripped away. I’ve been laid bare. As I’ve tried to sort through all the emotions, I keep coming back to one:. What I have found interesting is that the meaning of grief not only applies to loss, such as death, but also a heavy burden. The Greek word in the Bible is lupeo. This means to affect with sadness or to throw into sorrow. That’s where I’ve been. He is very clea...

http://stringofmoments.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-start-of-sifting.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. The start of the sifting. Recently I was faced with a very difficult decision. I prayed for wisdom, guidance and discernment and God answer those many prayers with an unending supply of His wisdom, guidance and discernment. I made the decision to leave the finance industry and take a ministry position. I knew it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the bills and yet I knew that God would provide. I knew, just knew that God was leading me back to my job in finance. I feel like I’m g...

Friday, June 13, 2014. The older I get, the more I realize there are many moments in life that take my breath away. Today I want to focus on one person that takes my breath away on a daily basis. This man God had for me is amazing. The more I spend this life with him, the more amazing I realize he is. He is, quite simply, perfect. I’m not saying he is without mistake, because that would just be unreal. In our family, we only do real. He is patient when the situation is oozing with frustration. You are am...

Friday, June 19, 2015. For the past several months, I’ve been struggling to understand people. Why do they care about certain things and not others? What makes someone care about anything? I had a revelation today. Most people can’t be bothered. Trouble; to trouble. Most people don’t want to take the trouble or inconvenience themselves to make something happen or to stop something or to change something. I am having a hard time understanding why. Why can’t people be bothered? Life isn’t fair. Life isn...

Thursday, February 27, 2014. God is Speaking to Her. Zoe is anti-toothpaste. I do not mean she uses it and just doesn't like it. She smells it and starts to gag. Zoe is a bit of a puker, so when the gagging starts, I immediately change direction. No one likes to encourage that kind of thing! After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, she choose the toothpaste with sparkles under the condition that we pray about her fears first before. I ever suggest she use it. Fast forward to last night. I’ve have ...
