Momentum. Well, I have to say, the Enemy sure thinks he’s got some. Tonight it would be easier to let him have his way, too. Not just for me, but also for my friend “H” who is my partner in the “70 in 7” Project. She just lost her job quite unexpectedly and had to … Continue reading Don’t Dream Big! – Part 3 of 3 [Mth 1-Day 30-Post 10]

Dream bigger! That sounds like a great idea to me, or at least it did while I was on that treadmill on Friday morning. I was thinking that if I can just get back into my “groove,” nothing would be impossible for me. It certainly seemed that way all day Friday, and even most of … Continue reading Don’t Dream Big! – Part 2 of 3 [Mth 1-Day 29-Post 9]

“Do the next thing,” was the advice of Elisabeth Elliot, a heroine among my favorite Christian authors and speakers. I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with her several times as a young adult because she spoke often at churches in our common home state of Massachusetts. This simple piece of advice has encouraged … Continue reading Don’t Dream Big! – Part 1 of 3 [Mth 1-Day 28-Post 8]

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life” (Ps. 139:23-24, NLT).This was my prayer from the conception of the “70 in 7” Project, that the Lord look into the depths of … Continue reading “Are you mad, Mommy? Are you happy?” [Mth 1-Day 21-Post 7]

I sat in a dorm room, a freshman in college, having a deep spiritual conversation with a senior. There were many nights just like that one that year. “Bill” and I had a lot in common, so as a baby Christian, I felt I could ask him all my questions—and there certainly were a lot! … Continue reading Let’s Make Some Room [Mth 1-Day 14-Post 5]

I have a plethora of emotions tonight that are rolled up in a confusing tangle.    I feel like a cheater…downing pizza, guzzling soda…when I ate so well the rest of the day.I am mad at my physical therapist who says she doesn’t think I should run…at all…  I was proud of last week…3 posts … Continue reading Just Emotions… [Mth 1-Day 9-Post 4]

In my studies this week, I read about how God had to go ahead of Jonah to prepare the hearts of the Ninevites to receive the Word of the Lord. Two plagues ravaged their home, and then God orchestrated their view of a total eclipse of the sun soon after. These events struck fear into … Continue reading To Win! [Mth 1-Day 6-Post 3]

This week God has just blown me away with His leading. It’s amazing how involved He can be in your life if you want Him to be! Dozens of “God-incidences” have filled each of the last four days, and this project has only just begun! I want to communicate a number of different ideas tonight … Continue reading …Food or friend, child or chocolate, dress or dessert… [Mth 1-Day 4-Post 2]

I was going to just go to bed, but my spirit is wearier of keeping in the awesome testimony I already have in beginning this project today than my body is. I am not doing this "70 in 7" project alone; I have at least one partner, who I will call "H," and hope to … Continue reading Month 1, Day 1, Post 1
