Our mission hasn't changed...

I have made many jokes about things I would do and places I would go depending on who was elected. I mentioned Hamilton, Montana a time or ten and that I would go there and hide out in the mountains if said candidate was elected yesterday. I received several texts last night from people asking if I was going to Montana or the Caribbean. Well folks...I have changed my mind. I will not go hide out in the mountains of Hamilton, Montana. Instead....my mission stays the same.
I was reminded last night by a friend that, Our mission hasn't changed...
That we have One Savior, One mission, One Home.

No matter the circumstances, who is in power, what war we are in the middle of or what I have for dinner...our mission hasn't changed. It is to love Christ and love people. It is to share Jesus Christ with others. Amen.
I will continue to pray for this Country, its people and our future. I will pray that Christ be shared in my backyard and to the ends of the earth. That I will be equipped with knowledge and wisdom and continue to grow. God is sovereign and will continue to be no matter the circumstances in this generation or ten generations from now. That is exciting, Praise the Lord!

Thanks for this reminder. No matter what issues we face, we must step back and look at the big picture, and that is God's mission for His people, even in the midst of trying times. That's a lesson it's easy to forget, when we get so sidetracked by our own life circumstances. God is still in control.

Millie Hollomon photography. Absolutely amazing. Her blog is milliehollomonblog.com. My old roomate Rebecca is a photographer for her company now.

Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful.

Fish on Land

I was telling my friend Kristi the other day that we sordof feel like Fish on Land. Out of place, awkward, and not sure what we are supposed to do to survive. Our lives have been a whirlwind since...well...awhile. We left the church Adam was on staff with Easter Sunday. Since then, we have been praying and asking God what and where we are supposed to do next. Move to Charlotte, move to Wilmington, move to somewhere a church hires us. Do we look for church positions or look for secular jobs...do we look for student ministry jobs or another type of ministry? Do we sell or rent our house? What are we supposed to do? The answer to these questions are not yet decided. We have had some contacts for jobs but nothing has come through yet. We think we might want to move to Wilmington if we can find something. We pray every night asking God that we stay in His will. Knowing all along that what His will might be is that we just trust in Him and be patient. Trusting that He will provide. That H

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I
