I’m the oldest of my sisters, but if we include my half brothers, I’m right in the middle. I guess it all depends. I tend to fit the stereotypes for the oldest child. 🙂

I forgot how good crying is for you.

Aephus, thank you for sharing! Fear is indeed a pretty big stronghold isn't it? Philippians 4:6-7 is a verse that the Lord has brought to my attention many times throughout my walk with Him. I like the importance of "with thanksgiving". It isn't always an easy thing to remember.

One of my favorite things is learning about how the Lord is working in other people’s lives. I find it uplifting and encouraging. Soo.. what has the Lord been showing you lately? It can be something little or big, old or new. The Lord reveals things to us in different ways, so is it...

Something I’ve noticed in observing people lately is that as people get older, it becomes easier to become bitter. Why does this happen? I’ve always thought that at the root, it was just being upset with God for something that did or didn’t happen, but why does it seem to really present itself...

We naturally go through many seasons in our life, which typically brings about some sort of change. Share your experience with change. It can be related to any aspect of your life or your thoughts in general. Is it hard for you? Why do you think it’s hard? Does it come easy? What do you...

I went there last year and tried their deep dish pizza. :-) It was yummy!

My ideal Friday night (after a week of working) would be going for a relaxing walk, reading a book, or visiting with friends/family. I definitely enjoy quiet activities to end the week more so now, than when I was younger.

Are you from Chicago? :)

Going to bed too early = waking up much earlier than I’d like. It’s one of those times when I can’t get my mind to shut off.

As I'm finding with some that are close to me, all you can do is pray and leave it at the feet of the Lord. She knows your views and beliefs. You don't need to explain yourself, unless you felt lead to do so. Love her.

Hmm I've developed a fear sorta of the ocean. I think it's increibly beautiful and majestic, BUT it scares me at the same time. Probably because of the power, the unkown, and the vastness.

The thunder and lightning are incredible tonight! The thunder is louder that I can ever remember. It also rolls on forever.

Completely unrelated, but for not being a cat person, I had to let you know, UnderGrace, your picture is adorable!

I would almost argue that every Christian has been in a place of putting themselves first. Absolutely- it causes problems. Does it seem like it should be easier to put God first? Of course! BUT the fact is, that isn't always easy, especially when we are young in the Lord. Things would be so much...

I'm not a parent, but I work with many kids and often times anytime there is a conflict among kids, parents will blame the other child involved and insist we keep them separated. It has me thinking... Our kids are easily influenced by what they see and whomever they are around. How do we (as...

Not that this is a new thought, but the truth of it really struck me. What we say is POWERFUL; we should make sure what we are saying reflects Christ. I was asked to take part in interviewing for new teaching positions that opened in our school district. It's been an interesting experience...

Hmm I kinda like being home. :) I suppose it depends on the occasion really. Some of my favorite places have been anywhere outside, libraries/book stores and picnics.

Reading makes me feel closer to the Lord and He brings back what I’ve read during the day, so even hard days are better when I make time for Him. It is crucial. Thanks for sharing!

I think it’s more about what you’re reading and your mind frame when reading, rather than how much you read. 🙂
