Trevin Wax has a short story that had me saying AMEN to the walls in my room!!
Do you deal with stress? Read this it could save your life.
Ok this post also had me saying a loud AMEN also!! The Problem of Vagabond Christians.
Worth EVERY SECOND TO WATCH THIS VIDEO. Dare you to watch and not be moved.
uh oh, next week is Spring Break! Just when I felt I was getting back to normal schedule!
This means:
Tons of food that is eaten by ravenousness teenagers.
My house in constant disarray.
Sleeping in, staying up late.
It is the week I usually lose my sanity.
Hubby said, “They are older so it should be easier.” (is someone else besides me laughing at that comment).
Here are some great posts/articles I found worthy to pass along:
This post had me cracking up! “My Father Left My Mother in Waco, Texas.” I have really enjoyed Sharon’s blog.
Emotionally Confused Church Services will have you chuckling.
Be sure to enter to win some great items on Laced With Grace? Today is the last day.
Interesting short post on comforting vs. confronting.
I was raised under this man’s father. His father was my pastor while growing up (you know the type of pastor that you feel you could never find again no matter where God moves you). I think that is why it was so hard to move from Phoenix to Florida. Well his son is following in his Father’s footsteps by becoming a great pastor himself. He wrote a great article on “Why Should You Go to Church?
This has been the week of emotions and drugs. I hurt my back somehow and for the past three weeks it has hurt, so I decided to get it checked out. The Dr. cracked my back (which hurt like the dickens and I yelped kind of loudly–I am a big baby if you have any doubts), but in the end he gave me some nice pain pills and muscle relaxers which left me in la-la land for at least a few days. I am sure the boys used this to their advantage and I promised all sorts of stuff they will swear I said they could do, but my mind will not remember.
I am getting ready to head to Dallas next Wednesday for Christian Book Expo . I am so excited to be able to listen and learn from some authors I highly admire. My wish is to met Max Lucado and Lysa TerKeurst to name a few, but I am a shy nervous type so we will see. I think I will just be excited if they walk by me 
The Lord has been opening doors for me that make me excited but freak me out at the same time. If I am truly honest, I would tell you I spent the first two days of this week trying not to have a panic attack; finally when I prayed “Lord in my own strength I can not move forward, but if it is your will then I will go.” I have had such peace since then. Satan knows how to attack me, and that is with my insecurities. My poor sisters, Mom, and prayer partners have had to put up with me freaking out and feeling like God has the wrong girl in mind for certain things. I can not tell them “thank you” enough.
There will be no Looking Back next week since I will still be frolicking in Dallas, I hope to get some pictures to share with you. Pray for hubby as he is batching it for a few days, I am sure the kids will all eat fine meals at Micky D’s each night, ha!
Below are a few articles I enjoyed this week, have a wonderful weekend (it is nice and sunny here in Florida).
Albert Mohler has an interesting article on “Dying Without God” I really like this sentence, “To die without belief in God is to die without fear of judgment and without hope of resurrection. To die without God is to die utterly alone.”
Sweet story of healing here in this article “God Heals.”
Love this encouragement of never giving up on unbelieving friends or relatives.
Yep, she’s got a boy. And yep she has not seen anything yet. Should I share with her how one boy managed to break the same window three times in the same month (after getting it fixed each time?). Nah, I will leave that for another day. I would be sad if she purchased all the Extra-Strength Excedrin bottles in Florida since I live there too, ha!
