You Said… Many years ago a dear friend introduced me to Rita Springer. Well, I didn’t actually
meet her. Rather I was introduced to her
music. It was her version of You Said that I have worn out on many
CD’s, partially due to playing it so often and partially due to my lack of care
for CDs, particularly in my car. Just
ask my husband. I love this song because
it is a worshipper’s reminder to herself and to the Lord of his words and
promises. His words and promises are
powerful and true. You Said is a worshipper’s plea
for the Lord to rescue the lost of the world. Our words and prayers are powerful.
Why You Said? Because I am in daily need of hearing what
God says. As I understand what God says
I desire to share with you, my friends.
Because I have a God-given passion for the nations. Not just one specific nation, but
nations. I desire for you, my friends,
to share and learn about what God is doing throughout the world and for us to
ask the Lord for the nations.
About me.
It is kind of weird to write stuff about myself. I don’t know why exactly. I guess because some of the stuff is fun and
some of the stuff is serious. What do I share?
The fun? The serious? Both? How about a little of both?
The basics. I am
married to my awesome husband who makes me laugh daily. We are learning to be parents to our young sons. I read the parenting books,
magazine, blogs, etc and get stressed out because we are not following “the
rules.” Scratch that. After trying to listen to the advice, I have decided they all lie. None of the tips work. : )
I like to move a lot.
Well, I don’t really like the packing and unpacking, but since I have
moved eight times in the past 12 years one would think I liked moving. This Ohio girl ventured to Pennsylvania for
college, then Arizona to begin her career and meet her husband, and now is
nestled in the mountains of Virginia.
I love languages. I
used to speak French. I try to speak
Spanish resulting in laughter from my students.
I often use malapropisms when speaking English resulting in kind
correction from my husband. I pretend to
know more languages just to keep my international students from getting off
task in class. I am pretty good at
pretending.
I love sweets and baking them. I plan on telling my sons they can’t have sweets
to save them from the sugar addiction I have and then sneaking them after they go to bed.
I’m opinionated. I’m passionate about my opinions. I hope that I am becoming less passionate
about my opinions and more passionate about God’s word. His word is more important than my opinion.
I’m in a constant state of confliction and conviction. This means I need to understand and receive
more of God’s grace. I’m working on
this.
