On the day we started six weeks of Going Deeper into Give, this comes in the mail: "Making Disciples One Conversation at a Time." In the first chapter, the author writes of Jesus commissioning His spiritually immature friends with the next phase of expanding His Kingdom. "And He gave them a blank check - drawn on all the resources of heaven... There was only one limitation: these resources were for making disciples only."-- D. Michael Henderson What a great reminder for this upcoming walk of Give: Everything He gives His people is for making more disciples. And there is no fear of running out. Because all is His. Therefore, go and give as He calls without fear. It's all given to us for His glory! "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places..." Ephesians 1:3 #blankcheck #sistertalkfaith #goandmakedisciples

Join us Tuesdays at noon as we dive into what the Bible has to say about giving. It all begins June 5th. #6weeks #bringyourlunch #sistertalkfaith

I drive by this deconstruction site almost everyday. And for the past several weeks as I approach it -- see it standing on the hill, roofless, transparent -- I'm filled with joy. I know it seems weird. But I believe it's because I've experienced a bit of this in my own life. The deconstruction process down to the point I thought I would be unable to stand. But I see now, the becoming less was all part of His making me more. Filled with more of His truth, less of the world's lies. More faith, where unbelief was previously lurking. More joy, instead of anticipation of the next show dropping. When I look at the bare bones of this stadium in its current state of disrepair, I feel joy, because I know something better is coming... "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 #sistertalkfaith #becominglesstobecomemore #share #somethingbetteriscoming

We didn’t plan it but it happened on Monday. Eight squirming pups arrived. I’ve watched for the last few days as they wiggle and squeal. No eyes to see or ears to hear just yet. They can’t even stay warm on their own. The momma dog returns from a short walk and the ruckus begins. Their only instinct is to get as close as possible to her. The Message version of our scripture this week reads, “Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it.” If you asked me what that looked like I’d tell you I’ve witnessed it this week. Each morning as I sip coffee I marvel again at a blind, deaf wiggly pup doing everything it can to get close to its momma. She’s life and they know it. I’m not much different. There are times I’m blind to what God’s doing. Moments I can’t seem to hear Him speak. Life leaves me cold and looking for warmth in all the wrong places. I should be more like them. Not worried about seeing into the future or looking back on the past. Not struggling to hear sounds that don’t matter. Instead maybe I should just wiggle closer to the Savior where my soul is filled with love and there’s nothing left to do but rest in His warmth. #sistertalkfaith #puppylove #1Corinthian14:1 #TheMessage #Jesusislifeandiknowit

Last minute prep for tomorrow’s study. Come join us at noon at Picture This or find us at sistertalkfaith.com because well... we have lots to talk about! #sistertalkfaith #faithinaction2

I hear the warnings all morning. Don't look at the eclipse it will damage your eyes. We take a break to go outside and she hands us these glasses. Nothing but paper and film. I didn't question the safety of the glasses. The writing on the side said they were made for eclipse viewing. The sister didn't question it either. Call me crazy but I had to look at one point to see what the fuss was all about. Would looking with no protection really burn my eyes. Would it blind in a few seconds. I tried to look but I couldn't. It was too bright to see anything. Not much different than any other sunny day. But when I held the glasses to my eyes it was amazing. God's word is a lot like those glasses. It makes a way for us to see the world clearly. So many times circumstances glare brightly and I can't seem to get a handle on it. I try to look, to see what's causing the fuss, but in the end I look away for fear of damaging something. Loving God means trusting His word in ways that allow me to see things for what they really are. It's a lesson in trust. Trusting the protection and covering His word brings to my life and looking through the lenses of love to see... really see. #sistertalkfaith #summersoak #eclipseviewing2017
