Wonderful

Regina — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:09:44 +0000

Last night in Bible study, we began Lysa Terkeurst’s Made to Crave. Already a few chapters in the book, I had a pretty good idea of the subject matter. But Lysa’s speech.. wow! I got home and had to veg. I couldn’t wait to slip out of bed in the quiet of the night and ponder.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm … [visit site to read more]

Doubt

Regina — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 16:34:31 +0000

Hey don’t forget the Sabbath Challenge! I can’t wait to find out how your first Sabbath went! Please let me know on Monday!!

Three years ago, I stepped down as children’s minister. I lost sense of my existence at that very moment. I fell into a tangled mess of doubt, anger, and despair. My world, in my eyes, caved and I no longer had a title. Out of frustration one morning, I found myself yelling at God. I … [visit site to read more]

First 2011 Challenge

Regina — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:38:24 +0000

I almost fainted when I heard the news. Chick-fil-a is opening its doors on Sunday. Makes your heart flip doesn’t it. Rumor has it that if you show your church bulletin or proof of tithing you will get a discount. My heart sank when I heard that..I mean, COME-ON!! Chick is the last of its kind. I’ve always thought it was honorable that they stood against today’s thinking and allowed Sunday to be valued and not just another day to earn a buck.

I scoured … [visit site to read more]

Just Ask

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

Few years ago, my daughter was in the third grade. She was having difficulty with a particular math concept. She tried her best to understand and ultimately buried herself in shame when she realized that no matter what … [visit site to read more]

Lazy Daze of Summer

Regina — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:42:18 +0000

Don’t you just love the description of summer… Lazy Daze! I believe the original term used was “days,” but if I was a betting woman, a mother with a houseful of children changed it to “daze.” She was completely worn out doing all the kids stuff that the day had left her in a daze!

I didn’t realize how much entertaining, teaching and learning I would be doing this summer with my kids. (and we haven’t even had a full week of summer yet!) We’ve been swimming, shopping, and spending a … [visit site to read more]

Perfectly Balanced

Regina — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:53:17 +0000

I failed miserably this morning. I vaguely recall being nudged before 5am but obviously I didn’t wake up fully to read and reflect. So at 6:30, hoping that I would be quiet enough to do my thing without being noticed, I snuck to the living room to retrieve my Bible. I managed to sneak back to the bedroom and to open my Bible, when I was discovered. Both my son and hubby found me awake and the morning routine began and I ignored my thing. ((sigh))…I have been trying all morning to find … [visit site to read more]

Quiet Time

Regina — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 16:57:28 +0000

This quest that I am on is going to take some real effort.. I want a balanced life and balance is going to take a lot of work. Most importantly, I want to be like the “good” Christians and have ample Quiet time with God to study His Word and to reflect how to apply it to my life as well as listening to Him when He quietly whispers into my thoughts.

Well, I began to pray to God for me to “want to want the quiet time.” I told Him to wake me when the house is still so I can spend the … [visit site to read more]

Swimming

Regina — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:05:02 +0000

Have you ever pondered on the word “Swimming” before?

This morning as I sat down to blog, I was asked the age-old question so many youngsters have asked their parents for generations, “Can we go swimming, today?” Being the first day of summer vacation and the temperature has been nearly 100 all week, that question has been on the tip of my 8yo’s tongue since Monday.

Of course, at the onset of that question my mind started wheeling and the pondering began.. Swimming…HMMMMMMM… never … [visit site to read more]
