Follow the Fire
Do you have a burning desire? Can you see yourself in the fulfillment of this desire? Maybe you desire to travel the world, create a business, marry and have children or purchase a home. Does this desire burn within your heart like a hot flame? Maybe you imagine yourself at a […]
Noticed
I did it. I gave my notice Thursday. I gave my notice . . .
Let me explain. I don’t know how many of you My Goodness Magaziners remember, but I started this job through a temp agency around 7 months ago. It began as a two-month assignment and parlayed into today. Once my original project […]
Living Life, Hands Down
I’m taking a class called Jesus the Master, and for the first time hearing things about Christ in a new way. One of the missions of the class is to inspire its students to become Disciples of Christ in the same way the disciples of Jesus’ time did. Our home work includes reading scripture about […]
What if Jesus said, “no”
What is it you believe you were born to do, the purpose only you came here to fulfill? Yesterday as I contemplated Jesus, his courage, his passion, his willingness to make meaning out of his life, I began thinking what would have been different if he let fear get the best of him or decided […]
Turn Over the Tables
Yesterday my husband and I had a dinner and movie date. Since the birth of our first son these are huge events that happen only occasionally. My husband insisted that we see Michael Moore’s Sicko. Some what curious, I agreed. I had no idea what I was in store for. Having seen Michael Moore doing […]
The Needed Nudge
“You didn’t blog today . . .”
“Um, no I didn’t. I had to sing near Vail today, remember? It’s far and we left early.”
“Oh, that’s right. I forget you’re so busy. I’m so glad I didn’t text you about it.”
“Yeah. Me too.”
That’s how the conversation went between me and Monique last night. I simply […]
Finding Happy Pt. II
This past weekend is a complete blur for me. On Thursday, Dave LeMieux and House of Soul flew to California for a live recording . . . and that’s exactly what we did for four days, non-stop.
We played, sang, rehearsed, worshiped, and recorded, only stopping for the occasional meal every now and again . . […]
This Little Light of Mine
The other day I heard myself telling a close friend, “I’m parenting Zion, and guess what he’s parenting me as also.” No matter how old we get there is still more growing up to do. I’m not sure, but the last five months of being Zion’s mom has grown me up more than the 37 […]
Detach From What is Holding You
This week I’ve been praying to identify my attachments. Attachments are the things I hold dearer than my spiritual practice or my path to God. First I will admit this is not something I feel good admitting to myself, or anyone else for that matter. I’d like to think my relationship with God reigns supreme […]
