A New Song for Spring
I love spring, when we’re awakened by birds chirping outside & the whole world turns a bright green. It reminds me of that scene in Cinderella when she wakes up with the birds, singing of better days ahead… Then I look out my OWN window & see God’s thumbprint on the ...

Come to Me, All You Weary Ones [Kari Jobe]
This may be my new favorite Kari Jobe song, y’all! She’s a worship leader in Dallas-Ft. Worth with a beautiful voice and a deep passion for God. I’ve featured Kari’s music on my blog before (My Beloved) but I’d never heard this one til today! In it she touches on ...

Living ‘Plan B’
We’ve all done it. Expected God to work on our timetable. Anticipated how our lives would unfold. ‘Known’ our future career, life plans, how many kids we would have, who we’d marry. Then life rudely interrupts. How dare you, life! This is my story, and you’re ...

Dead Dreams?
We’ve all experienced it: the energizing burst of excitement when we envision our goals, our dreams, that “thing” that sets our heart in fast-forward! Then….. Waiting for it. And waiting. And time lapses and we let it go or try to make it smaller/ more obtainable ...

Playing Not to Lose
Wow …. talk about a message I needed to hear! Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church (Charlotte, NC) had a few words to say about being successful at life. After making a life-altering mistake and “losing big”, many people become fear-driven by a desire to reduce future ...

Jealous for Us
Putting God first (AKA firstfruits). Remember when I wrote about that last month? http://youaretheoneiwant.com/2011/04/05/first-fruits/ He’s taught me a lot in 30 short days. Today I opened His word to this passage (a book I’d never paid attention to!). The passage is a little ...
