Did I miss the post on how the walk went? It was this last weekend, right? I need to send in my pledge. I must have missed something.

http://www.brookemcglothlin.com/ : She chose abortion

Wed, 5 May 2010 05:31:32 +0000

I had a similar experience recently. I was talking to a girl who is 22, a Christan, goes to church every Sunday and had two children before she was married, recently married the father even though she didn't want to and found out she had been cheating on her the whole time even right before and after the marriage and to top it off she was pregnant. She wanted an abortion. I gave her the please learn from my choice speech, the you will look back and regret this and of course all that God says about how precious life is and how this baby was being stitched in her womb by God himself, I gave her the stats and mental pictures and she still wanted to go through with it. Nothing I could say or do was even making a dent in her plan. She went through with it and I see her every Sunday as if she had an ingrown toenail removed..no big deal..something she had to take care of. I feel like I failed. I've been there, I know the pain and regret she will have. I know we can't change everyone' s mind and we will probably fail more than succeed but this was my first go at it. I am 0-1in saving a babies life. I was coached by a friend who serves at Riverside Life Services our pregnancy counseling center here in town. I felt well equipped. I know there was nothing more I could do. I guess I just wish I was 1-0.

So I suppose we are not going to hear about your whirlwind weekend at this point, are we?

Cultivate Her : Meet Jessica Esch

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:26:37 +0000

I think I am surprised when my actions inspire. I think that I am still pretty surprised that God has me in this place, serving him. How do I know I am a good leader? I suppose no one has quit yet nor changed churches due to me and my review was pretty good so I think I am hanging in there.

lynse leanne : Guilty Pleasure

Fri, 8 Jan 2010 22:03:20 +0000

Glee. But only because we don't have cable and I have kids so if I have any free time and I can Hulu one show it has to be Glee. When I had cable and more time on my hands, it was Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew. LOVED THAT SHOW. I saw Fanny Pack (season 2 dance crew) on NYE and I was giddy like a 12 yr old running into Nick Jonas.

lynse leanne : Let it Snow!!

Thu, 7 Jan 2010 05:29:10 +0000

Wow. Emily was thirsty. We have never had a snow day nor have we ever had snow. Never or at least never that I ever remember and I think I would remember something like that. We live in So California in the "low" desert so we have to drive to the mountains which are only about 45 minutes away to experience snow. So it is available to us and we can see the snow on the mountains from our city but we do not get it here. I hope Emily's school closes. My fingers are crossed.

I love a great crust. My secret is a squeeze of lemon in the dough. Not enough to change the taste but it adds to the flakiness. Cherry pie is my favorite fruit pie.

Thanks for the encouragement Shelia.

Spence Smith : A Question For Women About Finding A Mentor

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:44:50 +0000

God has gifted me with the ability to mentor, my God core is a pearl polisher. Helping women to see who they are, how God had made them and to realize that under the lies, and insecurity and crap that they are a precious gem. Here is the problem. I'm scared to death to do what God has called me to. I want to run and hide and with every gal that I know God is drawing me to or bringing to me, I pray that it is a mistake or that they just pass me by without stopping. I tell myself (or satan tells me) I don't know God's word well enough, I have made so many mistakes why would anyone listen to me or want to share themselves with me, who do I think I am... the lies go on. I think jealousy and insecurity and petty issues do get in the way but I can honestly say fear is my biggest issue.

Thoughts About Nothing : Tigers Drive that Got Away

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 17:39:08 +0000

The greatest post I have read today..probably this week, nope this month. I agree with you. I feel sorry for Tiger that his sin has to be played out in the media and so thankful that mine doesn't. Certainly doesn't mean his sin is any greater than mine. I hope more people read this post, put their pitchforks down and understand the Grace God has shown all of us.

Beacon Hill NW : Book Review:Find Your Strongest Wife(Life)

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:39:10 +0000

Hey. I was thinking the same thing after I saw that you were reviewing this book. I wondered if I should have my hubby read it to understand why I was so passionate about pursuing what I know God's plan is for my life. Luckily God and I align but I am still convincing my hubby that I should pursue my passion instead of stay in a position I am less than thrilled with. (of course I am also seeking prayer an insight from trusted people in my life) I ended up reading a bunch of the highlights to him. From a woman's stand point, it was inspiring and motivational. Who doesn't want their wife to pursue what makes her happy... I think it is a major win for the hubby.

Michael Hyatt Blog : Book Notes: Born to Run by Christopher McDougall

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:06:36 +0000

Born To Run "If you are going to be a runner you must wear the proper shoes". That is what they tell us yet with constant injuries we lose. Intimidated, we feel the fear of failure or of scorn. We keep wearing those expensive shoes while Achilles tendons are pulled and torn. Pacing back and forth, we cry "Will someone show the way"? Reveal the reason our feet hurt before another pair we pay. What happens when the doctors say "stop running, that is it. Your body isn't built for sports maybe yoga will keep you fit". The Tarahumara Indians had the answer, they live in Mexico, running 200 miles at a time even in their 90's they still go. So what, then, is the answer? I'd like to take a look. But to find out how they did it, I'd have to read the book. Lori Zimbardi www.argyleandapricots.com
