The name I want listed in my movie credits

February 27, 2013 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on calling, God-centered, the book / Tagged: Jennifer Garner, Oscars, Quentin Tarantino, self-promotion | 12 comments

Apparently I have a reputation. After a full weekend of activities & birthdays & flat tires & sports games & conferences, while heading upstairs to put the boys to bed my husband yelled down, “Your award show is starting. Did you tape it?” It’s true. I’m a bit of an awards show fan. Part of the obsession is the beauty…the gorgeous gowns & jewels. I also ...

    When I first began reading this I thought, “Oh, another Oscar post. I must live under a rock.” Then midway through I thought, “No, I think God is trying to tell me something.” Near the end, my heart has been stirred, some fog has cleared a little, and I know it’s time to seek the Lord.

    He’s faithful. I’m so thankful. Thank you for writing this.

    Thank you for such a beautifully written post. I struggle with this a lot, and hate that I do. I want to give all the glory to Him, but it’s so easy to fall into the trap of raising myself up instead. Your post really spoke to me!

      it’s so so hard. God gave me this heart check just at the right moment. His word will stand. His will will prevail. just follow Him. have a great day!

(I know I didn’t post a book last week, but I didn’t want to interrupt your Pinterest perfect Valentine’s Day. Hope you enjoyed time with loved ones instead of reading blogs about books.) On to the topic at hand…I started the new series “What We’re Reading” and shared a fun picture book to take on a picnic. To shake things up a bit, this week I’m ...

Seeking God’s Plan for my Boys

February 9, 2013 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on calling, MOB Society, mothering / Tagged: boys, God's plan, MOB Society | 3 comments

Only God knows what kind of men my boys will become. And so I seek Him and ask Him to give me wisdom. Wisdom to know His plans. Eyes to see their uniqueness. And then words to direct their hearts towards His calling. Today I’m writing over at the MOB Society about casting a Godly vision for your boys (also true for girls…but the site is ...

The Time Her Deafness Taught Me to Listen

January 21, 2013 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on calling, hear the whisper, relationship with God / Tagged: Cochlear implant, Deaf, Hear the voice of God, solitude | 4 comments

There are so many stories to share with you from what’s been going on in the Mac home ; funny stories, injurious ones, happy-news ones… But first I want to share this particularly story from my past (my pre-kids, pre-Dallas days). Susan stood out among my graduate school speech-language pathology clients. Each semester we were assigned 3-4 clients. By graduation we were required to have seen ...

The only way to write a book on humility {part 1}

November 5, 2012 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on announcement, calling, humility, the book / Tagged: Bill Jensen, book proposal, humility, publishing | 29 comments

Most writers have big plans to write books. I struggle to even call myself a writer. If you asked me about my “dreams” I would talk about women’s ministry or speaking. But God has a different plan. God decided I should write a book. I’m just coming to grips with His idea. This post should have been written 6 months ago. But back then I thought keeping the ...
