Most favorite people in the world: James (my husband), Nathan (my son), Abigail (my daughter), Aden (Abigail's husband), *SAM* and *MARY ELLA* (our 2 year old grandson and brand new granddaughter!!!) Mary (my mom), Gilbert (my dad, who now lives in Heaven), and my empty nest dog - Zoe (who has her own hashtag: #ZoeMyDoggy). And...I couldn't leave out my brother (Chris) and his family, my sister (Rebecca) and her family, or my Aunt Bibby - who, by the time I was three, taught me to drink from a china cup, eat shrimp cocktail, and how to shop with "lay away"! She now lives with Jesus, too... but Ill forever be grateful for her presence in my life! Favorite foods: Hazelnut coffee, milk chocolate candy, and chocolate chip cookies (gluten free, these days). Favorite relaxation activities: Reading a Christian historical fiction book in a long bubble bath, after a 2 hour nap on crisp, clean sheets... mmmmm! Favorite Sport: SHOPPING!!! (very similar to hunting, I think)... Favorite shopping find: an 80% off sale, and snagging designer clothing for $3.99 at Goodwill. :-) Most frequently used daily Devotional Book: My Utmost For His Highest (Oswald Chambers), Daily Light, and Valley of Vision (A Collection of Puritian Prayers). Bible Studies that have changed my walk with the Lord: Experiencing God (Henry Blackaby), Living God's Word (Waylen Moore), A Woman's Heart (Beth Moore), and Seeking Him (Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth) Favorite Bible Verse... For now: Philippians 2:13 "It is God who gives you both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him."

Push Pause

February 21, 2016 By SmellingCoffee

PAUSE. It’s been the theme of the weekend as our Student Ministry has been in Disciple Now.
