Ok, so I've been told to get these pictures online somehow.  The only way I know how to do that is through my blog.  What does Tow Mater have to do with Worshiping While I Wait you may ask?  Well...I guess I can only refer to 1 Corinthians 10:31b "do it all for the glory of God." This is the Grand Prix pinewood derby car my husband and son made for this year's Grand Prix race at AWANA.  Since

Yes, for those inquiring minds who'd like to know...I AM still alive!  :)  Baby Laura is 6 mos old this week and I realized I've been off my blog for WAY too long!  It has been interesting thinking of a year ago as the dates pass by...when we announced to everyone in September that we were expecting.  The fun we had a Lake Brandt in Aug & Sept of 2010.  How sick I was when we went to California

So, yes, now it's been almost THREE months since I've been on here.  I so miss having the time to write (or taking the time to write) - but for now, writing is a hobby for me.  And I guess with everything else going on, I've had to put this hobby on hold.  I AM taking time for another hobby these days though....and, it will actually be the last time I do this hobby for a looong time.  I'm making

I cannot believe it has been over 2 months since I've been on here!!!  Wow, that went fast. Wow, I almost forgot my password to get in here too.  I think I even forgot a bit how to do this!!  haha Wow, did I get alot of things done though.  All the deadlines I had mentioned being stressed about got met.  I finished my continuing ed classwork (got an A, btw).  I survived 2 kids' birthdays and

I am officially giving myself this week off from blogging.  Not because I don't think it's important. Not because I don't have anything to say.  haha  Yeah, I knew you'd think that one was funny. But mainly because I am WAY stressed out over some deadlines that are finally coming up this week and I don't have enough of me available to tackle them all and also catch up on my blog.  You see,

Click here to start at the beginning of this series if you’re just joining us. In the post prior to this I mentioned a more in-depth method of prayer journaling. A number of years ago I had the chance to attend a Sunday School class on a book called The Hour That Changes the World by Dick Eastman. In it Eastman explains a method you can use to guide your prayers so you can easily spend an

Finally posting a BarlowGirl song.  I have been loving singing along with the harmonies on this song.  I liked this song before because of the words and its 'Indigo Girls' -ish sound.  But now that I know I might be singing along with my favorite Barlow girl, it warms my heart even more so.  Thanks Becca!

Travis Cottrell's new book, Surprised by Worship, is out! I got my copy a couple weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised to see it arrive so early (I think the original release date was in mid-October....which would have been about now actually!). It's not as big a book as I expected, but it is a wonderful read. Travis is an awesome worship leader - I have been following his stuff since I became

Since I'm out-of-town this week, I'm doing another Tuesday Tunes. And, like I said before, I REALLY could do them every day. So give thanks that I'm containing myself as much as I am. hee hee When did your healing begin? Here is a video journal about the song by lead singer Mike.

I guess with being sick so much lately I forgot that I had some work to do still in the Submissive Wife post #4.  haha  I hope you got a kick out of my 'INSERT SCRIPTURE HERE' notes for myself!!  If you'd like to read the post WITH the Scripture references filled in...instead of my writing notes, please click here.  And thanks for being patient with me!  I'm still getting this blogging thing

For this 4 Worship Friday, I'd like to know what moves you.  By that, I mean what makes you feel closest to God?  Music? Nature? Your kids when they're all sweet and adorable? A beautiful piece of art, whether it's a photograph, painting, sculpture, etc? A clean house? Helping others? You get the idea....now share YOUR idea. May you find something in your surroundings today that

Has it been a long time since you've spent time with the Father? Let Him pull you near. Put aside the busyness. He's not tired of forgiving you. Just come to Him. His love is over you. Underneath you. Inside you. Between you. All the TIMES you think it's not.  His love is there. For more posts in this series click here.

The Desiring God National Conference was/is this weekend. Hubby and I talked about going way back in June or July when they had discounted tickets for sale. But we never did register....mainly because we knew going to it AND going on our California trip a few days later would end up being too much for everyone. And it's a good thing too because I haven't been feeling well lately. This first

So I was going to launch a new meme today.  But, evidently Someone has other plans.  I've been sick all week. Yup, expecting #4 in May and the 'all-day-long' sickness started last Tuesday the 14th and has grown increasing worse over the last few days.  To the point that I finally called in to get this magical Rx everyone was telling me about.  Zofran. They were right.  It IS magical.  I

What will they say when I'm gone, in words that are written in stone? Under my name, what will they claim about me? Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered More than just a memory that fades away Because we only, we only get one life Free me, my hands are tied I'm so tired of wasting time These endless inventions steal my attention from real life And when it's done, when it's over..

This song is from the VeggeTales movie Sweetpea Beauty. Sung my Nichole Nordeman it is a wonderful song for a daughter of the King to listen to at any age to remind her how beautiful she is to Him. Also, this could be one of the theme songs for the Operation Beautiful movement.  (hint hint) For more posts in this series click here.

For today, I am sharing a link I saw on Worship Matters. We use this song at our church and have for a number of years. The youth sing it during their worship time, we sing it in our large corporate worship time. It is a 'simple' song but carries a profound message indeed!

Do you believe that God is your healer? That He REALLY is all you need? I'm doing a 'Tuesday Tunes' on Thursday because I haven't had the time lately to devote to my next 'Submissive Wife' post. And, because I could do 'Tuesday Tunes' every day! Blessings... The sound quality of this one isn't as good. But this is at a conference so she is 'leading' more than just singing the song. For
