3:280 – I’m Not Going Back To School #faithbites #faithjourney school Setting My youngest is having a rough night, tonight. She hates school, homework, and told me she is never going back to school. This all happened, mind you, because her sister earned a sucker after band and she didn’t get one. I know she loves school and is just […]
3:271 – I Want To Be A Lion (for Jesus) #faithbites #faithjourney lion Setting I was mowing my yard today, listening to music, when one of my favorite songs came on: Mr. Jones. One of my favorite lyrics in the song is “I wanna be a lion. Yeah, everybody wants to pass as cats.” I’ve always wanted to be a […]
3:266 – Pray For Those Who Can Not See #faithbites #faithjourney see Setting Unless you’ve been living under a rock, which sometimes I wish I was, you have seen how divided we are. If you don’t believe what someone believes 100%, you are evil. If you vote a different way, you are in league with the devil. We all have […]
3:261 – I Don’t Understand #faithbites #faithjourney understand There are many things in life I don’t understand. For instance, I was facilitating a case on women’s health for work. I don’t know what it’s like to be a woman. I can’t relate. Likewise, I don’t know what it’s like to be black on America. The only thing I do understand […]
3:259 – Stop Complicating Things! #faithbites #faithjourney complicating Setting We often say life is hard. People are hard to get along with. There is too much to do. Things are just plain too complicated. Heck, we even make believing in God complicated. Then once in a while, God steps in to make you realize it shouldn’t be that complicated. Today, […]
3:253 – I’m The Worst Person in The World Setting Last night my youngest was upset, and for the second time in as many nights, said she was the worst person in the world. That everything she does is wrong and she’s terrible. Those words tore at my heart. Where had she heard this? Was this because I was getting […]
3:240 – You’re Not Perfect. Neither Am I. #faithbites #faithjourney perfect Yesterday, I was facilitating a class on women’s health and we were discussing LGBTQ issues along with women’s anatomy. Some people were tiptoing around words as they didn’t want to saw the wrong word. I eased their minds and said we all make mistakes and it’s ok. We correct […]
3:236 – Helping the Oppressed Doesn’t Take Away From You #faithbites #faithjourney oppressed Sometimes the Sunday sermon is ho-hum. It’s a lesson we have heard before but need to hear again. Other days it’s good and we get something out of it. Then there are special days like today, when they hit a nerve. Today’s was how do we as […]
3:227 – Hello, Friend #faithbites #faithjourney hello Setting I knew I wanted to write about friendship today but was coming up empty. I’m a little emotionally drained as it’s been a long week. Today was also the last day that my best friend would be staying with us and help nanny our kids. It’s going to stink without him as […]
3:219 – Keeping It Simple #faithbites #faithjourney simple Setting My tank is empty today. Work was challenging, and then all the daily factors of life make me just tired. Not mad or upset, just tired. I was trying to think about what to write for today’s #faithbites but I kept coming up blank. Then it hit me, just keep it […]
