Camping Out

I read this really good post By Dana Byers.

Take a moment to read Luke 9:28-33.

Peter (like us) likes camping out. He likes sticking around where he’s seen God at work. He wants to cling to the moments in life where he’s heard God speak. He’s willing on a moment’s notice to give up his ministry just to settle down in the place he was motivated. Sometimes our actions reveal that we respect this behavior and follow suit, labelling it “common sense”.

God wants us to be energized by mountaintop experiences in His presence and then head back to serve in our posts faithfully. We cannot believe the enemy’s lie that our faith doesn’t pack up and go with us when we leave the warm church pew, our laptop, or a personal quiet time of worship.

Fight the temptation to camp out with everything in you. Eventually you and I need to re-shelve the leadership books, turn off the motivating podcasts, and simply serve.

Enough said. Make a difference today. Are you camping out?

Hairy Situation

It was time...the line had been crossed. You know... when you wake up on a given day, hey girls..... you know what I am talking about, and you say out loud, "Time to get a haircut". We can't rush into to these things you know, but when it's time, you know it. Yesterday, was that day for me. And I did it. I think this was the longest my hair had ever been. Since it was "the" day...I decided to rock the pony tail. Yeah, that never happens unless I am mowing outside.

A lot of snips and cuts later, I see this...
(Please notice the random green post it mixed in)


So the results are.....






I feel like a new person. What is the most drastic change you have done with your hair?

This is Urgent!

This picture is full of a thousand words or maybe ten. What does it say to you? If you only had 30 days to live, what would your "to do" list look like? Mine would include enjoying time friends or family, traveling to parts unknown or familiar territory climbing Pikes Peak (oh yeah!), letting go and relaxing, trying new things, exploring life to it's fullest. Enjoy the moments before you. You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can make the most of them. Because there may not be a "tomorrow" or "later". And while you are living life to it's fullest, impact those around you for Christ. Seriously, one of the things I learned in church is that all of our days are numbered. Yes, Lord thanks for the reminder. Live life to it's fullest, be the best you can be for God, letting Him work through you to make a difference for His glory. AND live life with an urgency...to see the lost come to Christ.

We are doing the Drive Through Difference on Thursday, July 16. Impact the life of a complete stranger...just because. Because God loves YOU and He wants to show others His love through YOU! Be about God's urgent business!

Hot Hair!

I need a haircut. My hair is hot, literally. Ponytails aren't cutting it for me. This mop on my head is hot, very hot. Maybe I need to rock this style? What do you think?
