Word of the....month *vbg*

So, after reading Jennifer's "Word of the Year" post at Homes of Love, I wanted to do the same thing. Problem is, I simply can't come up with just one word. SOOOOO, I'm going to do a "word of the month". That gives me 12 words for a year; maybe that I can do. :D
So my word for January is:

consistent
I tend to be scatter-brained and easily distracted (unless, of course, I'm reading a good book or watching a good movie!), and a little hit-and-miss at various important things in life. Such as having a quiet time. Or having meals ready on time (my poor family). Or remembering all the other little things I'm supposed to do (I have to set an alarm to remember to vacuum the living floor when it's my turn). Or being on time with birthday cards, etc. OK, so maybe my problem isn't so "little"... :P So my word--and thus my goal--for January (and all of 2009, of course!) is consistent--to be consistent, that is. Not necessarily perfect, just consistently imperfect. :D

OK, I should go to bed before my rambling has me so thoroughly confused I can't figure out what it is I'm doing. Before I do, though, I wanted to mention Mark Lowry's "blog" (he calls it his "ramblings"). He's got a great post up right now about how much God loves each one of us, and we are the apple of His eye. It'll make you smile and make you think, I encourage you to go read it! :D

Love you all, have a great week richly blessed with the Father's grace and joy! (and maybe I'll get around to a longer post tomorrow...)

This is a creative idea! Pick a word and make it your goal for the month; that's manageable, easy to remember, and challenging also! Consistent is definitely a good one...hope your month proves to be just that. ;)

Sex & "the good Christian single"

 Yep. Buckle up, we're going there. This post might get a little uncomfortable, but it's a topic that can't exactly be ignored! And, as I said at the beginning of this little "series" earlier this year, "my goal is to be uncomfortably honest, vulnerable, real, raw." Besides, the world is talking about sex all the time , and if we as Jesus-followers don't talk about it from a Jesus-perspective, the world is going to shape the views and opinions of sex for an entire generation. Or two. Or more.  Let's start with some basic statements just for the sake of clarity: 1. Sex is God's idea, and it is good.  All through the Bible, from Adam & Eve being "naked & unashamed" in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2), to the graphic love poetry of Song of Solomon, to Paul exhorting husbands and wives to freely share their bodies with one another in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible paints a picture of sex within marriage being good, beautiful, encourag...

Six Flags!

Some would no doubt consider it a strange "Sabbath kick-off", but for me a trip to Six Flags Over Texas (in Arlington) was just the ticket! Between my love of roller coasters, the nostalgia this place holds, and the healthy benefits of fresh air and sunshine, it was fantastic. Oh, and the company was pretty great, too. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have my "OG Six Flags fam" along--aka, my family and the Vests, of course! Six Flags has always been about facing and overcoming fear for me. I was a very fearful/timid child, and as an adult looking back I think one of the best things my parents did for my little anxious self was take me to ride roller coasters!! (I would insert the "tears of joy" emoji here if I could!) I was coaxed and cajoled on to rides I was hesitant about, but never forced to ride anything--though I waited in every line with them and I was not allowed to complain. Every year, there were rides where ...

oh, look! it's a blog!

I really thought I was going to do better at blogging this month. Ha! I have a post in my drafts section that I started two weeks ago, but there it sits. It's going to require more time and thought to finish than I have at this moment, so it will have to wait. However, it IS going to get finished and posted at some point! :) Today, for most of the day it's just Jonathan and I here at home. Weird, huh? Daddy, Micah, and Josiah are at a men's retreat/camp-out with the church, and Momma had to work today. So, Jonathan and I are hanging out (read: cleaning house and putting the new sheets on the beds and icing cupcakes :) ). This evening, there is a "praise for pro-life" thing at a church here in Springtown that we're planning to go to. It's a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. (October 24, 6 pm, Outreach of Love church on Hwy 199 in Springtown, admission is a baby bottle full of change...just in case anyone wanted to know!) Tomorrow after church, we're ha...
