I read Dave Ferguson’s blog entry last night on hearing from God everyday.
I watched portions of a video on the DARPA Grand Challenge, a competition to create driverless cars.  In the video they explained how the software had to be written to handle the plethora of course corrections needed to keep the vehicles on course [...]

Ok, so that’s not quite the analogy I am looking for, but was the closest I could come to describing what I’m going through today. I’ve been looking for the big gold nuggets in among all the little ones.
After two intense days at the Leadership Summit, I am now sorting through thoughts and ideas, [...]

I just spent an amazing day (1 of 2) at Community Christian Church, with my coworkers, attending a satellite session of Willow Creek’s Leadership Summit 2008.
To say my brain is full would be a huge understatement. Pastor Dave posted a summary of the speakers today on his blog, >>Velocity.

I have had a change of heart. And mind. And I’m really excited to see where God is leading me on this: I am abstaining from food. I am quitting food cold turkey.
Ok, so not REALLY….but yet I am.
I have, on multiple occasions, complained to my husband how much easier it [...]

Read the rest of It’s OVER!

Today, it’s going to be about Remaining in Christ. My quiet time this morning was me asking God a bunch of “How?” questions. How do I do what he wants me to do? I am most comfortable when I have things under control. If I let go of control, chaos ensues. [...]

The temptations in your life
are no different
from what others experience.

And God is faithful.

He will not allow the temptation
to be more than you can stand.

When you are tempted,

so that you can endure.

1 Cor 10:13
