Our father...all of heaven roars your name. Sing louder, let this place erupt with praise. Can you hear it? The sound of heaven touching earth... God purposely creates moments of praise in places you would least expect. Sometimes surrounded by people you would least expect as well. That is the most beautiful thing about the … Continue reading surround

temper
I have a temper. There I confessed...we can be done here, right? Probably not. I have been slapped for my hateful words. I have manipulated others to get my own way when I've been angry. I have been justifiably called a bitch when my temper flys. I have incited angry words in others based on … Continue reading temper

'With great power there must also come - great responsibility!' Yes, I finally watched The Amazing Spiderman today...I know, it's about time. And yes, I am a superhero movie geek. But the message is the same for us...as a believer in the universal reign of King Jesus, you have been given great power. 'But you will … Continue reading go
water
Today is March 13…trivial to most of the world and life-changing for me. This day still makes water leak out of my eyes, as I discovered earlier today. There are times in my life that I hate having a good memory. It’s more scarring that anything, because in an instant my memory can bring perfect … Continue reading water
silence
**Forewarning: this blog post completely changed from ‘Silence is beautiful and we need more of it…’ following a really ‘happy’ blog post, to what you read here. Beware, it wasn’t me…it was the one I serve. If you are looking for beautiful silence, probably find a different blog…because the silence you read here is a … Continue reading silence
happy
Today I am happy. An unnatural happiness, actually. It could be because a week from tomorrow I leave to go see my amazing best friend in Utah. (Photo on right from the last time we got together in Utah...expect greatness in a few weeks!) Or because our church was so full of vibrant, beautiful life … Continue reading happy
ate
Chinese. If you hang around me enough, you will hear me talk about my constant search for good Chinese dumplings in the US. I will eat Chinese food for lunch AND dinner. Pick your dropped jaw off the floor, because I will prove it...if you buy. Mexican. I cannot get enough of the white cheese. … Continue reading ate

Doubt. Anger. Questions. We've all been there. Hell, I struggle with the whole 'What's happening here, God? What's the point?' Dreams that seemed like they were his. Decisions made that seemed like he was backing it all up and opening every door have not been what you thought it would be. Ugh. But every time. … Continue reading faithful
find
Find. Not found. Find. That is important because found implies something that has already been located or been established. Find implies seeking something…an action on your part. Scary? It shouldn’t be. It should be invigorating. It should be enticing. Seeking brings new experiences. Seeking brings new friendships. Seeking means adventures. Seeking means discovering something new. … Continue reading find
no
I have a problem. No surprise to many, but for others...it's confession time. Hi, my name is Stephanie, and I have a problem saying 'No.' It's simple really because I view everything through the lens of God's Kingdom work. And most everything easily falls under that umbrella. Not counting how many loop holes it took … Continue reading no
