http://southernbelledisplaced.blogspot.com/2014/03/trusting-even-when-red-sea-doesnt-part.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Trusting .even when the Red Sea doesn't part. A friend of mine asked the question "Would we still trust even if the Red Sea didn't part" in regard to our desire to see miracles happen, often missing the miracle that is normalcy. Great question, huh? Several posts have inspired this pondering today. I won't go into it, but it has caused me to think back on a time when the "Red Sea" didn't part and I, in response, questioned the goodness of our amazing Father God. At least not th...

here I am....for now: Grace vs. Works
http://southernbelledisplaced.blogspot.com/2011/04/grace-vs-works.html
Friday, April 01, 2011. Grace vs. Works. John 14:15 reads: If you love me, keep my commands. NIV. Or in the Message translation: If you love me, show it by doing what I've told you. My grace-oriented friends would say to put too much of an emphasis on this verse would lead to a works-driven faith. I disagree, respectfully. This verse has taken on new meaning now that I am a parent. After having a discussion with my newly four year old daughter tonight about this very topic, I had a bit of a revelation.

Saturday, February 20, 2010. Gavin and I are so blessed. Big Daddy has truly poured out His blessing on us through His body, here in NoVa. This weekend He is using our precious friends, the Baggetts, to bless us abundantly. That statement has never been more true than this weekend! They have literally swapped houses with us for the weekend. They are with the girls today and tomorrow (along with Jenny), and we are at their very cute apartment in Alexandria.

Sunday, September 19, 2010. Up in the Middle of the NIght. It's 4:38 and I've been awake for an hour. Always when this happens, because it is rare, I start a little conversation with the Lord. (He's always wide awake:). Is there someone I should be praying for? Thank you for this day and all the blessings you have poured out on me, Gavin, the girls, and those I love.". I start counting my blessings, and I lift up those I know are hurting. My cup overflows and my hope is in You. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, March 29, 2010. Passing along, Jesus saw a man at his work collecting taxes. His name was Matthew. Jesus said, "Come along with me." Matthew stood up and followed him. Later when Jesus was eating supper at Matthew's house with his close followers, a lot of disreputable characters came and joined them. When the Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company, they had a fit, and lit into Jesus' followers. "What kind of example is this from your Teacher, acting cozy with crooks and riffraff? A Maze ...

here I am....for now: Betrayal...the sting meant to kill
http://southernbelledisplaced.blogspot.com/2014/03/betrayalthe-sting-meant-to-kill.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Betrayal.the sting meant to kill. Betrayal has left a trail of great pain and heart ache throughout my journey of faith, beginning my junior year in high school. Someone close to me started a rumor in my school that I had had sex with my boyfriend. A lie I had not had sex with my boyfriend, in any form, but I was certainly and sadly not beyond reproach. I lost most of my friends that year. My reputation was trashed. I look back and see beauty from something meant to destroy me.

here I am....for now: another slice of humble pie, please?
http://southernbelledisplaced.blogspot.com/2014/03/another-slice-of-humble-pie-please.html
Friday, March 14, 2014. Another slice of humble pie, please? I just took a walk through memory lane and read some previous posts. Can I say how embarrassed I am? I immediately think of high school - yikes! I remember those days, much like I feel when I read these previous posts, with great embarrassment at my bold arrogance. I'm not interested in being less bold, but what I want to be known for certainly seems to have shifted. I can feel the angst in those previous posts. One day at a time .this day&...

here I am....for now: Your Girl
http://southernbelledisplaced.blogspot.com/2011/04/your-girl.html
Friday, April 01, 2011. That would be *posterity* .:). I wrote this song after going to a Women's Ministry event at Reston Bible Church. Donna Winship, with Jesus in the Qur'an. Was speaking about our identities in Christ, Kingdom living and living our dreams. I was so inspired that I wrote this song the next day. The truth is, I'm really not a song-writer. I really believe Father gave this song to me. I'm so blessed by it. I hope you are blessed by the song: Your Girl. Love you so much! Love you so much!
