Work in Progress: Five Minute Friday: Opportunity

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2012/05/five-minute-friday-opportunity.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. Five Minute Friday: Opportunity. 1 Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. 2 Link back here and invite others to join in. Last Sunday was patience day. The week before was peace day. It turns out that the week following the sermon is packed with chances- opportunities- to learn to exercise that gift. God keeps presenting me with...

Work in Progress: Five minute Friday: See

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2012/06/five-minute-friday-see.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. Five minute Friday: See. Look me in the eyes when I'm speaking to you.". Why is looking so important? Why do we need to be seen? The first connection I ever made with my son was looking at each other. I saw him. He saw me. It was magic to this weary, overwhelmed, immature and also postpartum-y new mama. I needed him to see me. Remember the eye-contact game?

Work in Progress: Don't Panic

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2008/02/dont-panic.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. This rule comes in handy for one of my favorite things: teaching middle school students to think. Don't we all tend to overreact at any imminent threat? I panic if I've forgotten to make dinner, forgotten to buy milk, overslept, or if I've spilled bleach on a washer-full of darks- and I'm an adult! Now for the backstory:. Teach that the people who didn't make it...

Work in Progress: Five Minute Friday: Growing

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2011/09/five-minute-friday-growing.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. Five Minute Friday: Growing. So, I have this kid. A son. He's 6 months old, and he's just growing so fast! Every day he does something else that amazes me. He's so observant; he just looks and looks at everything, like he needs to fill up his tank. He'll get there so soon! I'm a little afraid.then I'll have to baby-proof.). My dear husband is also a saint who is.

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2012/06/happy-new-week-june-4-vol-i.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. Happy New Week June 4: Vol. I. Well, you can tell that I meant to post this on Monday. Here it is, Thursday, and I'm just now getting around to it. So I propose a new celebration- Happy New Week! 12 months is too much pressure. Happy New Week, instead! I pray for many of the same requests over and over and I fear my prayers sometimes slide way too easily into a ...

Work in Progress: How Standing at the Crib Rail is Like Standing in a Pew

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-standing-at-crib-rail-is-like.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. How Standing at the Crib Rail is Like Standing in a Pew. When I stand at the lowered crib rail, I rest my hands on it and it is the same posture I assume at church on Sundays. I don't think this is a coincidence. And I'm already astounded at the power this child has over me and the ways his presence in my life reveal hidden sins. But last night.right after I...

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2012/06/stinkthankfulness.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. For the last few weeks, I've smelled a smell in the laundry room. It has taken over the house. Ian thinks something died under the house. We got home from church yesterday and could smell it. It stank. It's making me sad. I'm getting maudlin. "Poor me! Why does this have to happen to me? Why doesn't God heal my allergies? And etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I can ...

Work in Progress: When I lose my temper, something breaks

http://kristawork.blogspot.com/2012/06/when-i-lose-my-temper-something-breaks.html

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10. When I lose my temper, something breaks. A few years ago, I was angry and slammed a door. The window in the door was not sealed properly, so the slamming of the door caused the window to shatter explosively. Thank God my husband wasn't in the room! I cried as I cleaned the glass shards from the floor and shelves. What a failure the evening was! I dont know you, ...
