4:31 – Happy Messages #faithbites #faithjourney messages Setting Let’s face it, I spend way too much time on social media. How about you? I have found myself snoozing those who are sharing things that are false or negative. Now, I am all for a healthy debate, but I’m learning I don’t need the negativity in my life. Those messages are […]
4:30 – Be Still #faithbites #faithjourney still Setting It’s a cold, rainy, icy day. Whole there are things I need to do, or rather should do, I’m just chilling on the couch. I even took a brief nap. While we are sent to serve and called for a purpose, we don’t always need to plan and do. We need to […]
4:29 – I’m Bored, Time For Trouble! #faithbites #faithjourney bored Setting I bet you thought this topic was autobiographical. While it is, in this case, I’m talking about my dog, Spock. He is a corgi and they are known for being very smart. The downside of being smart is if they don’t have a “job” or feel engaged, they get […]
4:28 – Sharing The Load #faithbites #faithjourney load Setting Sometimes I can be passionate and territorial. I know how I want things to go and feel that I need to do it myself. I may not be passionate about it, but if I don’t do it, will someone else get the satisfaction? Or will it even get done right at […]
4:27 – Satisfaction or Joy? #faithbites #faithjourney satisfaction Setting There are a lot of things that I am good at. (And yes, many I am not, but we won’t go there). I had a good friend and career mentor ask me to list all of the things I was doing and see what brings me joy. What are those things […]
4:26 – My Bad. It’s Me, Not You! #faithbites #faithjourney bad Setting Yesterday a colleague offered someone to help me with a long term project I was working on. I responded very defensively and escalated the situation very quickly. I felt that they were trying to take something away from me, something that I had worked a long time on. […]
4:25 – Parenting Doesn’t (shouldn’t) Keep Score #faithbites #faithjourning parenting Setting This one is for all the parents and caregivers out there. Parenting is hard! Yesterday we said that love doesn’t keep score. What about parenting? Last night, IU was walking my dog and thought of all the things I’ve done wrong as a parent. Not having them eat healthy […]
4:24 – Who’s Winning? #faithbites #faithjourney winning Setting I have to admit, I like numbers. Who is the oldest, youngest, richest, smartest, whatever? Sometimes I just google to google and learn strange facts. All of these facts and figures help me share the world with others. That is fun for me. I have to admit, I have kept score in […]
4:23 – For Me Or The Group? #faithbites #faithjourney me Setting Today, I want to share something that is weighing heavy on my heart. As you know I try to help others first, then take care of myself. Yesterday, I had two conversations / interactions that really bothered me. The first was a post in a 3d printing group asking […]
4:22 – Devotional Devotion #faithbites #faithjourney devotional Setting Before I converted to Christianity in 2016, I had heard of a devotional but I didn’t know what it was. I knew that the word devotion meant a commitment or dedication or some purpose. I wasn’t sure what a devotional was. Now, I know that it is a way to dive into […]
