Right Now Conference 2013


I went to a conference earlier this month that impacted me tremendously.  It was a conference directed to people involved in leadership / ministry. My husband and I, along with a group of leaders from our church, attended this event in Dallas, TX.  We were able to hear a crazy amount of wisdom from speakers such as Eric Mason, J.D. Greear, Larry Osborne, Tullian Tchividjian and so on. I wanted to share some of the key quotes that attacked my heart. Enjoy!




It’s in the midst of our greatest mess that God shows up. Guess what? Our mess doesn’t surprise Him. The messiest people are the bessiest people for God to use. God always picks the team He can get the most glory out of. In our eyes, God looks like he picks the worst. God loves to pick out the people who need freedom because they never forget WHO set them free! -  Eric Mason

It’s amazing how many people will change when you stop trying to fix them. When we try to change others, that’s really a subtle attempt to fix ourselves. - Tullian Tchividjian



What if Jesus approached his potential the way you do? Jesus said you’re equipped. Oh you’re busy? Well, Jesus was busy too…saving the world and everything. – J.D. Greear

Haughty eyes and looking down on others is a scary place to be. God would rather you struggle with porn than pride. Wait, hear me out before you tweet that. Let me finish. God doesn’t want you to struggle with porn but which is more damnable to the soul? – Larry Osborne



When we work to display redemption, we no longer care about position. His grace changes our desires. Bless those in need. When we understand how much we are indebted to grace, we will start to see every situation we are in, business or church, as a place not to be served but to serve. – J.D. Greear

God’s strategies rarely make sense. His was are above our own. Why do I rationalize before I obey? Will we say YES, LORD…even if it doesn’t make sense? – Priscilla Shirer




Who you really are has NOTHING to do with you. Your identity is firmly anchored in Jesus’ accomplishments…not yours. The Gospel doesn’t just free you of what you think others think about you…if frees you from what you think about yourself. - Tullian Tchividjian

Blessings,

Well, the in-laws left yesterday morning and we had so much fun with them while they were here.  Eli is wild and hilariously fun.  It was a big adjustment having a two year old in our house for a week.  Our home isn't really child-proof and we are used to making plans, coming and going, without having to worry about attitudes and nap times.  It was interesting to say the least.  I love that kid.  He's so sweet in nature.  When he hugged me bye this morning, he just staying in my arms for a lil longer than your average hug.  I almost teared up and it was nice to just hold him.  His mom and dad are doing a great job raising him.  I'm looking forward to our next visit. OH! My sweet sister in law made me these rings! She's so talented. :) I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!!! Do you have any favorite moments from the weekend? One of my favorite moments was my family sitting at the dinner table singing Queen and humming the Star Wars Theme Song.

Well, hello! Notice something different? Yup! I got a shnazzy new layout.  All thanks and love goes to Amy .  She's is so sweet to have taken the time out to do this for me.  I was blown away with the transition.  She has so many talents, including photography. If you don't know Amy, you're missing out so... Check her out ! Aside from drooling over my freshly designed blog, I've been preparing the house for our guests. They'll be here tomorrow!!!! I can't wait.  I'll also be cooking for them but NOT experimenting. Hahaha! I'm only using Jon as my guinea pig (btw, had a random dream last night that I owned a guinea pig. Random.).  Anyway, he doesn't seem to mind. I started asking him to grade it from 1-10 and so far I haven't been under 7. Woot! What I cook is easy to make and it's usually quick.  I would share them but the crappy part is, I don't measure the ingredients.  I don't like to. I just estimate. UNLESS I'm baking. Th

The Walking Dead

It's time for an update. You know, because I'm doing stuff. Things. I'm so excited about October 12th. Are you? THE WALKING DEAD! That's right folks.  It's time for Season 5. From the very first episode, I was hooked.  You remember the scene with the Goldilocks zombie at the gas station right?  Suspense, shock, terror, insanity. My husband and I gave each other our best "holy crap" look and instantly hungered for more. Thankfully, it's still going strong. Here we are at Season 5 and I'm still just as enthralled as I was from Days Gone Bye. Pair my excitement with the hostess blood that runs through my veins and what do you have?  And by hostess, I don't mean Twinkies and HoHos. Although...you might look at me and be surprised that isn't the case. Baby got back. ANYWAY...all that to say... LETS GET CRAZY. With my beautiful family, I have thrown a few Walking Dead Parties.  Nothing over the top, I might add. I'm sure th
