Tsunami! Sound the Alarm! – plantedbylivingwater

https://plantedbylivingwater.wordpress.com/2016/11/03/tsunami-sound-the-alarm

Drinking deeply of the Living Word. It was so real, it was as though I was actually there. Dreams can be that way sometimes. The early morning sun lit up the entire eastern sky and streamed into my hotel window which looked out over the vast, immeasurable ocean. It was going to be a beautiful day! I looked out the window expecting to see the ocean stretching out in all its beauty from one side of the horizon to the other. But a normal view of the ocean was not what met my eyes. Then I woke up. In our bus...

The War Cry of Our Hands. Married by His Grace. - Married By His Grace

http://www.marriedbyhisgrace.com/the-war-cry-of-our-hands-married-by-his-grace

How to start a Blog. The War Cry of Our Hands. Married by His Grace. November 16, 2016. Years ago I read a poem about the description of a mother’s hand. How every line and detail of her hands describes the work she had produced over the years raising children. How her labor would flourish from generation to generation. The poem gave you a vision of how a mother’s hand could show you her sensitivity and the imprints showed how many times her fingers had touched her children with grace. As young children ...

http://sunsparkleshine.com/sticky-goals-one-word

Sparkle 2015 Guest Speaker. Sparkle 2015 in Pictures. How to Make Sticky Goals (and forget about New Year’s Resolutions). December 30, 2016. By Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine. If you’ve been visiting a while, you know that I’m done with New Year’s resolutions. But I love setting goals. A conundrum, you think? I’ve found a much more effective way to approach my New Year that I believe will work for you too. And it starts simply with one word. One word that you choose to live out with purpose and intentionality.

How to Nurture Complete Trust in the Lord | Reliance on God

http://alisontiemeyer.com/complete-trust-in-the-lord

How to Nurture Complete Trust in the Lord. I read something recently about the oldest woman on earth. Mostly the article talked about how she’s eaten eggs every day for over ninety years, but tucked in at the end was a sentence about this old woman’s resilience. The article praised her for not needing anyone, for living independently, for bouncing back quickly after a divorce. I like the word. And years ago, I would have chimed in mighty fast with a proud, I’m resilient too. Grab the rest of the post here.

When You Stink at Submission | How to Submit to Your Husband

http://alisontiemeyer.com/submit-to-your-husband

When You Stink at Submitting to Your Husband. There is a steady desire within me to submit to my husband. But as I looked over my man’s shoulder, all I could think was. This is not going to be okay. Our cell phone contract was coming to an end, and my husband wanted to switch to Verizon. Which is no big deal in the slightest except that all cell phone carriers are shockingly expensive. We don’t have to have the newest and greatest, do we? I mean, the screen will be fine, right? I wanted to submit to his ...

How to Show Grace When You'd Rather Hold a Grudge

http://alisontiemeyer.com/how-to-show-grace-grudge

How to Show Grace When You’d Rather Hold a Grudge. My husband and I both have covered parking spaces below our apartment. We weren’t supposed to have covered parking, but our landlord is a nice guy who had some extra spaces. My space happens to sit next to our neighbor’s parking space a neighbor we hardly see but frequently hear. And this unseen neighbor loves to park as close to the yellow line as possible. Oftentimes, his tire grazes the edge of the yellow line. It’s ridiculous, but it’s real. In the m...

Filling the God-Sized Hole in My Heart - Lori Schumaker

http://www.lorischumaker.com/filling-the-god-sized-hole-in-my-heart

So – what’s this all about? Library of Hope {Searching for Moments Community Page}. Filling the God-Sized Hole in My Heart. Some memories are so vivid. Almost as if God locks them into our minds so that in His time, the memory will give us a reflection of His ongoing work. I had been an athlete all my life, but after a career-ending injury my senior year, I kept my mind busy and my spirit intact by helping out the coaches with office responsibilities during my study hall hours. No future in basketball.
