This is my new blog.  I’m continuing my journey over here. I wasn’t sure if ‘worship warrior’ really described where I’m at on my journey, so going with the meaning of my name seemed a logical choice. That’s one thing that will not change. And I’m definitely on a path of learning more and more the meaning of grace – thus, the tagline “dancing with my Father God in fields of grace” (taken […] Read More
I’m in the midst of reading a very interesting article about the charismatic movement and reactions to it. I always enjoy history and it’s been very enlightening to read where some of the concepts and terms I’ve heard used in church circles actually originated from. I’m realizing there are a lot of things I’ve heard that I assumed were the common interpretations for some biblical concepts or passages, when in […] Read More
Maybe I should clarify: receiving grace is a choice. My husband and I were talking about grace last night. I’m feeling frustrated because I can’t seem to ‘get it’. I still find myself trying to earn my worth and live up to perceived expectations. Sometimes when it comes right down to it, and you know the truth in your head (that God’s love and acceptance have no conditions), you just […] Read More
“Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember… ” – The Lion King So many things define who we are. I am a mother, a catering consultant, a wife, an employee, a daughter, a friend. I am part of a family, a company, a church, another church. Each week, I get kids up for school, drive them to school, go to work, put in […] Read More
I’m finding understanding GRACE to be a process for me. For whatever reason, there’s areas of my heart that are resistant to this message. Sometimes something will happen and it will seem like a drop of understanding will seep through a crack deeper into my heart, but then the crack will snap shut again so more understanding is blocked from pouring through. But, as my husband said, I’m getting more […] Read More
“church mode”: a term I’ve heard used to describe the way people suddenly become different people once they enter the doors of the church on Sunday morning. “It may be that Christians, not withstanding corporate worship, common prayer, and all their fellowship in service, may still be left to their loneliness. The final breakthrough to fellowship does not occur because, though they have fellowship with one another as believers and […] Read More
I’ve been tagged. So here goes… 7 Things I would like to do before I die: 1. Travel – all over the world (Europe, New Zealand, Hawaii, Africa) 2. Be able to work from home so I could have more time with my kids 3. Fly in a Hot Air Balloon 4. Go on a vacation with my husband (no kids) to someplace warm & exotic when it’s winter here […] Read More
from “The Cat in the Hat” by Dr. Seuss: “And this mess is so big And so deep and so tall, We can not pick it up. There is no way at all!” …which pretty much sums up the state of the workload on my desk today. A co-worker in the office walked by my desk and literally burst out laughing – there were papers strewn all across my desk […] Read More
Ok. Time to post something. My husband said he would de-link me if I didn’t post something soon. 🙂 It’s not that I don’t like blogging. I just seem to have got caught up in other things and this fell to the wayside. What’s new? I had a really good Christmas. 12 days off work. Stayed home with my family for the most part. Got lots of cool gifts. Played […] Read More
