Filling Up on Jesus

 

Jesus is the only thing in this life that can truly satisfy.

He is the only thing that can fill our cups up to overflowing.

 

So learning how to get Jesus into our life everyday is crucial.

 

This area of the website is dedicated to encouraging you to do just that!

Together we will explore ideas for how to
  • keep our cups fill up with His Word and the Holy Spirit
  • empty our minds of the physical things that want to fill it but rather look to the spiritual
  • seek truth around the lies we hear in our heads
Ultimately I pray that we learn to lift up our cups to Jesus to fill, so that we can freely pour out to others.

 

Join us for a blog series starting November 2018 titled  ‘Lifting our Cups’ We will be exploring practical ways to prevent feeling drained. Find all the articles in the series here. (Be sure to come back each week for a new article)

Somewhere I got this idea that having teens was th Somewhere I got this idea that having teens was the worst. 

But I’m here and I’m finding out it’s just pretty cool. 

It’s fun to see them start their first job. It’s fun to see them being responsible for themselves. Fun to see their interests and hobbies. Fun to watch their style take shape. 

And it’s fun... when they pick out steak to treat the family ...using a gift card they got from their work. 

What I was told about teens was a lie. The truth is ... Teens are fun. 💗
It’s book launch day!!! This brand new book, Sou It’s book launch day!!! This brand new book, Soundtracks; the surprising solution to overthinking was written by @jonacuff.

Here’s what I think about it:

This book was just what I needed to hear. Jon’s words helped me dig for the old soundtracks I play on repeat in my head. But he didn’t leave it with that, he shared practical and workable ways to replace those old lies and find the truth to say instead. Of course, all of that was mixed with his hilarious sense of humor and many real life stories. 

I would recommend this to anyone who over thinks. (Which I think could be all of us at some times of our life)

It made it on my life changing pile of books. It reminded me to dig into closer walk with Jesus, telling myself Truth He would stay about me rather than the lies satan wants me to believe.

You should read it!

I dread writing these posts... how can I sum up su I dread writing these posts... how can I sum up such a great weekend in just a few words? 

It’s the perfectionist in me I guess. 😂
But I’ll try 😄 

Teach Them Diligently Conventions have always been on my happy place list! It is especially happy after two long years without it.

• It was gobs of fun to take my oldest to an event I love! And even more fun to see her enjoying it. 💗

• The Gaylord is a beautiful place... having spent years seeing others come here I’m glad I got the chance before Convention moved to Pigeon Forge.

• Meeting so many of my 365 community group ... people who, through zoom, (before zoom was a thing) have become close friends. 💗

• Traveling with a couple of my favorite local gals. 💗

• The hope another writer gave me @triciagoyer 💗

•And Mom’s Night and zoom friends in our pictures 😃

• Meeting sweet people I’ve worked with for a year but never met @jesstodd86 

Those are all the Instagram perfect things ☝🏻

but I’ll also remember I didn’t feel well for the first couple days.

I’ll remember the power point that didn’t work for my first speech and the AWESOME tech guy, Noah, who worked so hard to get the tech back up. 😏

I’ll remember the very near threat of the whole event being shut down because people weren’t wearing masks. (And the pain in my friends face as she prayed over it)😓

I’ll remember the Ugh feeling of standing in front of 100ish people realizing my first page of my presentation was NOT there... 🤪

I’ll remember the pictures I forgot to take... with friends I don’t get to see enough... @septemberanne, @lsnunnery and @unlikely_homeschool.

I’ll remember the worry of going home being all spent up by serving others and the hours in the early morning I spent talking to Jesus about it.💗

I can show you Instagram perfect or I can tell you it all and let you see how Jesus provided.

Thanks, friend, for praying for me through the weekend. I went home satisfied that I gave my best in serving, so excited to strengthen friendships with people in person, and so grateful for the words I have tucked away in my heart to carry me until next time. 

The end.

Satan is still a loser.

One of the tricks satan uses on me is to convince me that my words don’t matter. He convinces me to stop writing.   It’s a hard lie to sift through because that lie is partly truth — my words may not matter to anyone else.   But.   I need them for me. I […]

I love reading Heather Holleman’s books. Everything she writes is vivid! (My favorite of her books is “Seated”) This brand new book, Sent is one that she wrote with her hubby, Ashley.

Something Normal

It was lovely to do something “normal”. 💗 Some laughs were had. Some tears were shed. Lessons learned. Friendships born. It’s pretty amazing how strong the connection is when you all know Jesus.

When we lived loved... other things fade to the background. Messy houses, piles of papers to grade, dishes to do, spelling words to review, multiplication flash cards ... if we do it because we are loved instead of FOR love; the difference is transforming! 
May we remember to live loved.
