Let me set the scene for you. This weekend I headed to NYC on the Megabus for an unscripted weekend. I didn’t know how long I was staying, or what I was doing, so I packed for two nights. I get a text message from the fella telling me where to meet him. I googledContinue reading “Walking through it”

Breaking trends
I left my job in the dental field almost six months ago. I was sick mentally and physically. I was so far beyond burnt out that I was unrecognizable to myself. Over 10 years ago, I left a church. I was mentally and physically sick. I was so far beyond burnt out from volunteering aContinue reading “Breaking trends”
Unsettled
A question was asked today on Anne Jackson’s blog…would you die for someone’s freedom? My answer to this question is, I believe, the root of my unsettledness. I remember being seven years old, sitting on the olive green wool rug in my room when I first had a dream of being a missionary. I’veContinue reading “Unsettled”

I’m going to write something of substance today. But while you’re waiting for my time to catch up with my brain, read this post by Tony Morgan. It’s…yeah. Just go over and read it.
Stand, part 2
Yesterday I posed the question, for what do I (we) stand? Today, I have some answers. I stand for those things that the scriptures tell me I am supposed to stand. I stand, first of all, for the name, the person of Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. Point blankContinue reading “Stand, part 2”
Stand
Quick thoughts going through my head today. What would the world look like if Christians actually believed the words that they sing during worship? Why are we doing this whole Christianity thing? What is it that we stand for? What does my church stand for? What do I stand for? What did the million plus soldiersContinue reading “Stand”
Footsteps
This morning, I woke up and I was fah-reaking out. I realized, in an instant, that I have, once again, fallen into the trap of finding my identity not in Christ but in the things that I do. Like work. Like ministry. Like being an aunt. Like being a sister. Like being a daughter. IContinue reading “Footsteps”
VA Tech
Once again I find myself taking a few days to process something that is all over the news. It’s probably better that I take time rather than address these things immediately. One thing that strikes me is that I’ve not seen any reporting that speaks about the parents of the boy who committed the murders. Continue reading “VA Tech”
Betrayed by a kiss
The thought that Jesus was betrayed by a kiss has been running through my head all day. Of course, today is Holy Thursday, the day that Jesus celebrated communion with the disciples; they day He washed their feet. This week has been one of the most difficult weeks that I have experienced in a veryContinue reading “Betrayed by a kiss”
Challenging day
Sometimes I wonder if God laughs with me or at me when I take a step back and look at my thought processes. Deneen, I want you to be a voice in the church. God, do you realize that I’m only 31 years old? Yes, Deneen. I’m God. Got that covered. God, do you rememberContinue reading “Challenging day”
