Finding Gold (plus a video from Graham Cooke)
As I’ve been getting feedback from my readers on my upcoming book, “Finding the Proverbs 31 Woman in the Middle of Kid Chaos,” I’m realizing afresh just how important and timely this whole discussion is about IDENTITY.
Living according to what God says about us and not what we feel or think about ourselves.
I’ve been ‘chewing’ on this topic for a number of years now, and I NEVER seem to run out of things to learn. Why?
Lightness Follows Choosing (and a bonus video)
Changing gears is a grind. Busy doing one thing, completely focused, emotionally spent, then needing to change that focus and engage differently.
Not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.
Such are Thursdays for me. Every week. Why such a challenge? Because the enemy of my soul knows that Thursday evening is the time when I engage my community and enjoy my God. He is committed to keeping me distracted and soulish, starving my spirit and nursing emptiness.
Every time.
Purpose Isn’t a Straight Line (what shall we do first?)
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard the question “What is God’s will for my life?” I would be a very wealthy woman.
I know you can relate. It’s the question we ALL ask ourselves when we are trying to make decisions about the future, regardless of age or gender.
Now, after twenty-five year of pastoring, that question hasn’t gone away. In fact, more people are asking it than ever.
Thankfully, I had a very wise person say to me years ago…
“Shauna, God’s will isn’t a straight line. It’s more like a backyard with a lot of options and a strong fence.”
What on earth does that mean?
A Message to Creatives
The week has been unusually hot and sweltering. Water shortages and high humidity are making February unbearable.
Seriously… will the sweating ever end?
As such, Creative Collective was a welcome distraction from the heat. A hundred and thirty artists gathered together in the place of community and intimacy with the Father and each other.
Singers, musicians, writers, painters, dancers, photographers. You name it; we were together.
Worship was sweet. No need for air-con. There’s something so refreshing about people of-like-mind being in one place, with one purpose, one mind, and worshipping God together.
Last night was “Erwin night.” Funny, timely, significant. It was our chance to catch the heart of the leader and the dream for this unique community…
