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!

The one-sided lunch date {an update on the boys & the book}

January 24, 2013 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on family, the book / Tagged: boys, publishing | 14 comments

Wouldn’t it be fun if we planned to meet for a 3-hour lunch date? We could sip iced tea, eat some warm baked potato soup and share what God’s been doing in our lives. Okay…maybe we will have to settle for a one-sided date. A monologue of sorts…me blabbing on and on about myself (and my boys). Maybe you can email me or comment below your latest ...

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
