A friend showed me her new Child Training Bible and I got two! One for me (to start training myself) and one for my sister (shhhh) and her family as a gift. Right now, there is a giveaway at http://www.inlieuofpreschool.com/2012/12/child-training-bible-review-and-giveaway.html. Check it out!

great quote...

"Let's have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it."
-Abraham Lincoln

This is my favorite thing right now. Right really does make might- God teaches us this. I hope to have more might- and when im not feeling mighty- i hope im at least doing right. I love things that empower me!

i probably love you!

I love you!!! I miss you too!

"Probably," haha - interesting quote... I need to give it more thought.

by a_sciolist at 08/21/09 5:08PM
Good post! How are you?

by missy_my at 08/21/09 7:39PM
I would probably love you if you didn't sound so unsure about your status of loving me. As it is, I DO love talking to you (you called me this afternoon and you told me stories! :) and I like you.
Probably.

"Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle." Martin Luther

"If God is for us, who is against us?" Rom. 8.32

Good quote!

simple is true.

at 05/25/09 8:55PM

faith is such a "hard" thing. i was reading in dave ramsey's book (thanks heather and dan) about financial peace. it describes the way of life as simple. maybe difficult, but simple.

i think so often of faith in this way. i think of the disciples on the boat as they flustered about while Jesus slept. of course, we know that, later, Jesus questions their faith. it is so "simple" to trust our loving Father who provides us with so much. and to the disciples at that time it would have been so "simple" to trust in the man whom they had just seen perform miracles. yet, it was so difficult. it's not easy to trust when you don't understand. it's not easy to trust when youre scared. but we are still called to do it.

i think of the man who feared for his daughter's life, exclaiming to Jesus, "I do believe, but help my unbelief!"

how often do we feel this way? how often do we believe but still have unbelief inside of us?

i pray that we always ask for the help that we still so desperately need from the Lord whose power is perfected in weakness.

It was sooooooooooooo good seeing YOU dear! I enjoyed our time chatting :) And thank you for this post! It is so beautiful, true, and thought provoking! Love you!

by autumn_rain at 05/25/09 10:55PM
As much as I love God, as much as I believe, I'm afraid unbelief is always just outside the window, waiting for an entry. I do not think I am the only one; as you say, Jesus' closest disciples wrestled with it, too.

by lori_in_pa at 05/26/09 4:45AM
I miss you, girl! I was thinking of you yesterday when I saw Josh & his wife & baby at a family picnic. I thought about asking Josh if he'd heard from you but I couldn't bring myself to even talk to start a conversation with him :(

by lromanic at 05/26/09 8:37AM
thankyou . good thoughts mamm

by ray_the_3rd at 05/26/09 2:23PM

by zigity at 06/20/09 4:23PM
favorite color?

by wydrogirl at 06/21/09 3:55PM
Megan, did you happen to know that we get to spend two whole weeks together this summer? And that I'm looking forward to it cause you're so awesome/fun/sweet? ;) see you soon!

by click at 06/22/09 7:19AM
Thanks again for my surprise! You are so THOUGHTFUL!

by pohatmom at 06/25/09 4:36PM
i have to have faith that you will come home someday and i'll see you again. more faith isn't more of a trusting feeling, it's more of continued faith in times when it's most logical to stop having faith. miss you

by tymathy at 07/20/09 6:39PM
Hey Megan!, this is Arlene D from D.O.V. camp

by missy_my at 07/20/09 9:05PM

Great quote from a great book...

at 02/24/09 5:03PM

"Real power rests in those who perceive history as God's own drama, who tap into a power accessible only to those who ask and seek and knock. Prayer sets God loose. As we revolt against the world's disorder in our actions and in our prayers, refusing to resign ourselves to evil, we demonstrate that there remains, in Jesus' phrase, 'faith on earth'."

-philip yancey

if only i could truly know and remember the importance of prayer the way that i should and the way that the Lord longs for me to fellowship with Him...

:) You're a bountiful blessing of beauty intermixed with the best of bunch of bumbling blueberries. :)

Thank you SO much for letting me keep you from resting both your mind and voice on Saturday afternoon. You have no idea how lovely it was too curl in your bed and "chat it up" with you... you're a pretty special lady in my book. :)

Hope you feel better soon. And seriously, let me know if you need ANYTHING. :)

by laurar209 at 03/22/09 8:30PM

UM, Dukie wrote on my page?! I feel special. :) That's funny about your dog's name! ;P I do get it. haha.

by click at 03/31/09 9:53PM
That does seem like a problem, huh. ;( Maybe you can come out to the Wydro's some Friday if you're not terribly overworked.

by a_sciolist at 04/03/09 11:14AM
It was nice to see you last night! Thank you for spending the day with my girl. You are a great example for her!

TAG- I'm it!

at 01/25/09 7:41PM

In response to "You've been tagged to list 8 little known facts or habits about yourself. After posting yours, tag 8 other people to do the same!"...

1. i am training to be a lacrosse referee

2. one thing i really appreciate is words of affirmation (read "the five love languages")

3. i used to know all the different kinds of trees and be able to recognize them by their leaves

4. i miss my little sister- she is married and lives in texas now

5. i have people around me of all ages that i would consider the best friends and people that are in this world

6. im not a big texter- although i love to get them from time to time

7. when people see me run they tell me i look like a dinosaur

8. i'm much more sensitive and emotional and "womanly" than i let on to be- im probably not as independent as most people think i am, and my pride and competitiveness helps me not to admit that regularly.

there you have it. now you really know me.

Hey, I love that movie!

by degrado at 01/27/09 9:33PM
#7 Has GOT to be the oddest thing I have ever heard, and I can't imagine it is true, SPECIALLY because of #8. Why would you be running, anyway? I- oh yeah, Lacrosse ref. If you are looking for a job in the line, stay in the NE. The rest of the country doesn't even know that the sport exists!

by thesecondthought at 01/27/09 10:54PM
I love our friendship! Thanks for being part of last night!

by pohatmom at 01/29/09 8:43AM
MEGAN!!! We should *definitely* hang out some time -- after all, we are young ladies and therefore should celebrate with some together time! :) And yes, I will not take no for an answer, nor give no as an answer. And now that I've thoroughly confused me, myself, and I, I'm going to bed... g'night!

by laurar209 at 01/29/09 9:19PM
I'll be in gone this weekend (little late notice, but you're welcome to come with me!), but after I get back, I'm planning on taking you up on some sunday afternoon hanging out parties with comgy pillows and chatty discussions!

by laurar209 at 01/29/09 9:21PM
Sorry Dukie. Truly, I don't know what I was (or apparently, wasn't) thinking. I beg a thousand pardons, or just one "I forgive you." Now, with that outta the way: how are you?
