Hello world! September 4, 2009

I’m so glad to be here!! I don’t know how much I have to say to the world, but I’m just so grateful these past few days for all of the good things that envelope my life. My relationship with God, my spiritual family, my natural family, my job, my house, I could really go [...]

Conflict is painful but necessary April 9, 2009

I’ve been reading a popular fiction series over the past several weeks and I have to admit I’m quite engrossed by it. I used to read a lot of fiction but somehow over the years, I’ve gotten away from it and just recently I’ve been rediscovering how much I’ve missed reading it. I’m staying up [...]

Moving March 9, 2009

My husband and I are in the process of buying a new house. Actually, we’re only 2 short weeks away from settlement!!  It has all happened so quickly and right now I’m feverishly packing up things in our existing house to move to the new one.  Up until now I have been so focused on [...]

Breakthrough! February 12, 2009

You know there are so many books out there on this topic in the Christian market.  If you’ve been to church at all, you’ve probably heard a ton of sermons in your life  focused on this subject, encouraging you to just hang in there, it will soon get better. Sometimes you have to wonder if [...]

Sparkle February 2, 2009

Yes I’m still talking about this movie! Don’t worry this is the last one (I think). At one point in the film, Mahoney sees a sign on the subway posing the question “Do you have a sparkle?” It floors her.  Later she asks the mutant what he sees when he looks at her. She wants to know [...]

I'm not ready! January 23, 2009

Have you watched the movie yet? What are you waiting for?! I think I connect with the main character Mahoney more in this sentiment than anything else. I feel in my own life that God is asking me to begin running the store because He’s leaving and I feel like I’m not ready! I know He never “really” leaves me, but in [...]

what's wrong with "just"? January 19, 2009

I’ve now watched Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium about 5 times and I’m still not sick of watching it! It continues to move me and challenge my thinking. At one point in the film, Henry, the mutant accountant (aka unbeliever, doubter, realist), wants to know what the deal is with the store, so he asks Mahoney. [...]

Stuck January 14, 2009

Have you ever felt “stuck”? I’m talking like in your personal or spiritual life. You have this feeling like you’re supposed to be more than you are, but instead of moving forward in your life you’ve taken about ten steps backward. It’s probably one of the most frustrating places to be. I’ve been feeling this way lately especially in my [...]

Faith Like a Child January 6, 2009

A Few years ago, I heard Steve Witt talking about how God is using movies to massage the hearts of people to know and understand Him. I couldn’t agree more. I got this amazing movie for Christmas called Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. If you’ve haven’t seen it yet, you need to! First, let me preface [...]
