    As a mom to teens, I know there is so much up in t As a mom to teens, I know there is so much up in the air as to how our school year, sports, activities and even our youth groups will look this fall, winter and spring. I also know we have no control over any of it. I’m relying heavily on God to ease my worry. And at times, I falter. Then I had to laugh at myself remembering as a kid that I wished for summer break to be longer. Now we seem to be living that as we hit 4 months at home. Who would ever have guessed this is where we would be. #jesusismyhashtag #4hisglory #trustinggod #nothankyoucovid

Then it hit me…lounge wear is what so many youth wear daily.  As a kid, I had to dress nicer for school. Even my non-school clothes were more than a fuzzy socks, yoga pants and a sweatshirt. I seemed to have missed the generation that speaks to my heart of fashion.  SIGH #jesusismyhashtag #4hisglory #positiveyouthdevelopment #hopewriterlife #dressedforsuccess #quarantineattire

    Our children need to see healthy relationships.  I firmly believe that my children watching my husband and I investing in our relationship is critical to how it shapes their view of marriage.

    Have you ever played the “what if” game?  Yo Have you ever played the “what if” game?  You know where your mind races and asks you questions like: •What if I had said this instead? •What If I had made a different choice? •What if I had more money?  More time…? Oh, the what if questions can be never ending.  And, they are the perfect way to steal your joy in the present moment. But what would happen if we reimagined our life with God at the center?  Let me introduce you to the What If Game 2.0. •What if I went to God in prayer when I struggled with a decision? •What if I spent a part of my day just praising and worshiping God? •What if I asked God to help my find my purpose in life that would daily glorify Him? •What if I put serving others like Jesus before my own needs at times? When we can reimagine our life from a perspective of God first, the questions change.  And, our heart changes too.  Every day is an invitation from God to reimagine your life with Him at the center.  So, say “YES!” to that invitation! #jesusismyhashtag #4hisglory #write4him #youthministry #youthmin #youthministryvolunteers #positiveyouthdevelopment #hopewriterlife #reimagine
    Do you ever feel like your life is on autopilot an Do you ever feel like your life is on autopilot and you are just going through the motions?  God wants us to live each day to the fullest and to bring Him glory.  That’s hard to do when we feel disconnected. When I reach a place of numbness like this, I know the best place for me to connect is in the quiet of God’s amazing beauty.  One of my favorite family vacations was our trip to Rocky Mountain National Forest where we hiked.  The picture shared was the hike up to Flattop Mountain. I breathed in beauty, wonder and the quiet.  To imagine God created my surroundings was overwhelming and awe-inspiring. Now, my day-to-day scenery doesn’t look quite the same as my midwestern state offers flat lands and fields.  Yet, I revel in the beauty found in the gravel road, the deer that are in our yard and the field across from us, the trees, the harvest. When I am taking time to appreciate the gloriousness God has created that is all around me, I find myself reconnecting to God and to my daily blessings.  And, I’d rather be counting my blessings than staying on autopilot. #jesusismyhashtag #4hisglory #youthministry #youthmin #youthministryvolunteers #positiveyouthdevelopment #beautyinnature #reconnect #hopewriterlife
    Rest isn’t easy for me.  Maybe it isn’t easy Rest isn’t easy for me.  Maybe it isn’t easy for you either.  Too often I find myself hurrying from one thing to the next.  Kids’ schedules, making meals, volunteering, working, caring for others. Oh, I tell myself that I need to slow down and rest.  The truth is though, sometimes it takes being forced to rest before I do.  God has used health, grief, and moving to teach me about rest—physical and spiritual rest. I have heard God’s whisper to rest.  Oh, I’ve heard it before.  There was always a plan for tomorrow, next week.  I would make the time after I finished something, did one more thing. What I’ve discovered the past 2 months of my “forced” slow down in life, is that I have been craving rest for my whole family.  I have been needing dinners together, lazy mornings, afternoon movies.  I’ve needed quiet bible study time in my own home, by myself.  I have needed to do just do nothing some moments. My mind has rested.  My heart has rested.  My body has rested.  And, my faith has grown. As I sit here thinking about rest, here is the truth—it is life giving. #jesusismyhashtag #4hisglory #youthministry #youthmin #youthministryvolunteers #positiveyouthdevelopment #hopewriterlife
    I grew up hearing Psalm 23.  I’ve memorized it I grew up hearing Psalm 23.  I’ve memorized it.  I’ve had my kids memorize it.  I know it when someone starts to recite it.  Today, as I was reading it during my bible study, 4 words jumped out at me. “He restores my soul.” This promise should be on my heart as a battle cry. Feeling stressed and anxious?  God restores my soul. Carrying the weight of shame and sin?  God restores my soul. Broken and alone?  God restores my soul. Frozen and unable to move?  God restores my soul. This year can be defined by unexpected, lack of control.  But, 2020 will also always be the year that I boldly lived knowing He RESTORES my soul. #jesusismyhashtag #4hisglory #youthmin #youthministry #youthministryvolunteers #positiveyouthdevelopment #christianwriter #hopewriterlife #herestoresmysoul
