Do. Love. Walk.

Do. Love. Walk. These are things that the Lord requires of us. Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly with our God.

This is a verse that has really been stirring in me, and I was so excited to get to share it at my church last Sunday.

In this podcast we see what it means to do, love, and walk and look at our perfect example of Jesus to see just how to do it and what happens when we do!

I hope to be writing regularly again soon. Fall is the busiest season in this house with each of our 3 kids involved in different activities. I’m trying to enjoy every minute of the crazy chaos, but at the same time, I’m looking forward the the quieter days of November. Until then, I pray this encourages you as much as it did me as I studied it out.

Blessings,
toni

Extraordinarily Ordinary

For almost the past week, I’ve been down for the count with some bug that’s made me weak and tired. Thankfully, it’s moving on now, but for days I was just stuck in bed. And when you don’t watch TV and are too tired to read for long, there isn’t much to do. Except Pinterest (and I just lost all the guys reading this. Hang in there….it’ll come back around). While I looked at every pin ever pinned, I ran across this saying, and it really stuck out to me: Enjoy the little things…for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things…..read more to see why ordinary is okay.

Pick your nose today…

Have you ever heard the old adage, “You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose?” I always thought that was funny…and kind of gross. But it does exemplify that there are things in life you can choose and some things you can’t. Paul has some things to show us about picking….

Ho-hum…

Every year, one of my favorite Christmas presents is my new journal, and they have come in all shapes and sizes. I love to journal. It’s not like a daily diary. If it were, most days would be pretty boring. But I do write the BIG moments. I capture the memorable moments…what God spoke to me a particular day or if something AMAZING happened. Luke is journaling here….he’s writing the highlights of the life of Jesus. The things that stuck out to him. The things he thought were noteworthy. He took two whole chapters to write about the events leading up to and including Jesus’ birth and dedication in the temple. Then, in one verse, he covers twelve years of His life. And then he skips ahead to when Jesus is starting His ministry….why did he skip those years?…..

Aloha, Paradise!

Do you have a favorite vacation spot? I do. Haleiwa, Hawaii {{Sigh}}. Just thinking about it makes me dream. I have been so blessed to be able to go several times (we have family there….it helps!) Hawaii is my “happy place.” I love to be able to say Aloha, Paradise….at times I even get consumed with going back…
