Make a different kind of list; one that helps you remember; 

one that dreams up worship. 

Because this montage makes such a powerful point, 
and really has churned up some deep pondering in my heart...

In Christ, the freedom that we have from vocational religiosity to simply BE in Christ,

 and yet how very easily we drift back toward an "on the job" presenting of ourselves far different than who we really are on our knees behind closed doors. 

Isn't the incredible favor and delight I am finding in Abba all about less contrast and more sameness between my appearance and reality! ?? So good for my soul! 

Some really sweet truth here, and Jennifer's book 
{Love Idol: Letting Go of Your Need for Approval - and Seeing Yourself through God's Eyes}  is one to have on your wish list! Fantasticly authentic message proclaimed from a powerful platform!

Whether you're assigned the green beans, the sweet potatoes, or the pecan pie....

Everyone - especially our God - loves a good wedding story stitched out in beauty and sweet relationship mingled around highest celebration.  Maybe you have your own such story, or will one future day, but how fun to think of interweaving your favorite common graces into the big day.
It's a good thing for my daddy's wallet that I was not aware of
this amazing literature-themed wedding idea  when Steven and I married.

Now if you'll excuse me- 

must run start brainwashing my daughter!!! 

Are you thinking about teacher gifts yet? Thanksgiving and Christmas give us fun opportunities to demonstrate Christ's humble generosity to them, and honestly? 
How cool are these rubber stamps?? 

Those shown and more teacher stamps are available here.

It'll be here at the end of this month....
Does Thanksgiving present possibility for difficulty or pain in your extended family interactions? In some way, it can for all of us. 

This post offers some valuable steps for preparation as well as links to further encouragement!
