I was standing in my kitchen when I worked up the courage to tell my
friend Tracy (not her real name) that her words had hurt me. I imagined a
heart-felt apology. I would forgive her without hesitation then, after
shedding a few tears together, we would drop everything and go out to
lunch. Instead, Tracy pointed out Jeanette Hanscomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08767343618048768514noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-35005252320892810702014-10-18T06:35:00.000-07:002014-10-18T06:35:00.036-07:00Guess What?? Check out this new show!!I wasn't aware of Awesomeness TV until last year - but wow! While I can't recommend everything on there - there are a lot of fun web shows and vlogs on their YouTube Channel.
But I can HIGHLY recommend their brand new show - Road to Nashville!

Been thinking about this so much lately, and while I hate be controversial (since I know a lot of people will disagree with me) - I think I just had to say it:-)

when the worship director at church asked me to sing it for a Sunday
Service. Having recently rebounded from the aftermath of my husband’s
heart attack, I fell in love with the lyrics immediately: “Oh, great
God, be small enough to hear me…”
A couple of year later, he asked me to sing it again, this time on

No, I’m serious. What do you say?
Whether we know it or not, there is a continual dialogue going through our minds. The dialogue occurs in two ways:
1) Unscripted: Out-of-control, spontaneous, unanchored. It’s when your social calendar, the people around you, and whatever emotion of the day or hour takes over and rules your life.
2) Scripted: A Tricia Goyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15896666883413222867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-31595084692605039852014-03-19T16:27:00.001-07:002014-03-19T18:02:30.096-07:00A Lesson from Frozen
In honor of Frozen being released on DVD, I thought I’d devote a blog post to some things I took away from it (besides the song, “Let it Go” getting stuck in my head).
It has been a long time since I loved a Disney movie as much as I did Frozen. Besides the incredible music and powerful story, I related to the characters in deep ways.

Near my house is a college. In that college is a garden. In that garden is a rose… surrounded by roses.
I think of you every time I pass the garden with the rose.
I wish you didn’t live there.
I wish you didn’t live in that one song, in that one place.
I wish you didn’t live in the grasp of strangers at church.

You’ve made good choices already … trust that you will make more.
Teens make good and bad decisions every day. Lots of them. Most aren’t as visible as teen pregnancy. Perhaps you think it’s unfair. Your choice is leading you to make choices you weren’t prepared for.

What Script Are YOU Writing For Your life?
When I say “script” I’m not talking about career goals or college plans. I’m not talking about current class schedules or finding the unique purpose for your future. While all of those are important, there are other parts of our life we need to script, too, such as:

When I became a mom at seventeen, I didn’t know a lot. I dropped out of high school my senior year and I finished my high school credits at home. I grew up in a small town, and my graduating class was under forty students. I’d gone to school with most of those students since kindergarten. So you could say that my world was pretty small.
After high school I met and married my husband, started Tricia Goyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15896666883413222867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-59885262911127941572014-01-12T12:29:00.000-08:002014-01-12T12:29:09.287-08:00If only our emotions were as adorable as our emoticons.....I don't know about you, but some days, it seems like my emotions and feelings totally take the reins and leave me hanging on for dear life. Sound familiar?
Emoticons on Facebook or text messages can be pretty cute, even the sad or angry ones. I love using those things!!! But in real life...emotions aren't as adorable.

They mess up and hope you don’t see. They act up and hope you’ll forgive them (even if they shrink back from asking forgiveness). They get tired and cranky, know it, and feel bad about it.
Here are three perfect gifts you can give them during this time.

It’s easy to spot Mr. Right in the movies or in a good novel. He’s the one who shows up out of nowhere, casts a handsome smile, and sweeps little Miss Lonely off her feet. There are struggles to be sure. There may be moments when Mr. Right seems long gone, but if the movie/book is one of those happily-ever-after stories Him and Her will end up realizing their love and committing themselves to Tricia Goyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15896666883413222867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-72463954769521940712013-11-19T11:54:00.002-08:002013-11-19T11:54:46.882-08:00What's Next?<!--[if gte mso 9]>
