Gracious congregation demonstrating the mercy of God understands sometimes the pastor just needs to get loud. #mercy #grace

I finally have one of my son’s friends calling me “Mom”. I low-key find it the MOST delightful thing!

Volunteer: I may not make it Sunday.
Me: Everything okay?
Volunteer: I’m battling an infection.
Me: Today is Wednesday, unless it’s MRSA couldn’t you drink a Red Bull and figure it out?
Vol: 😑

@chuckdegroat How impatient we tend to be. All of us struggle with the fleeting reality of life. When we feel that God has spoken, we must pray and wait on that elusive thing called timing.

The trash cans are all full, the toilet is clogged, and the floor needs another vacuuming. I would call that evidence of a good Sunday at Awake Church! #livelikepeoplematter

During a battle of the wills last week you would have overheard this-

Me: You need to do what you’re told!
Son: Mom, why are you overreacting?!
Me: Why are you underreacting?!?!

@ToddKorpi That’s a great insight!

@ThomRainer If the pastor was taking a sabbatical because he/she was burned out, is it possible the congregation was unhealthy as well and needs their own “sabbatical”?

@thechosentv I literally cried for two days over this. Saw myself in Nicodemus turning down the Savior’s invitation.

Found out this week that volunteers who serve 2-hrs per week are at optimal happiness. More than that doesn’t add more happiness, but it is appreciated!

Even if you don’t think women should be senior pastors, there are the other leader-spaces where men and women should be collaborating. Invite and empower both to serve the Church where they are gifted.

Preacher Girl feels she bombed the sermon when the only comment she receives is how good her outfit was for the morning. Go God!

A quiet house this week with two of the seven of our family on vacation. I wish I would enjoy more rest in the quiet instead of hustle to complete projects.

Looking up convo starters: “What are your favorite children’s names?”

@Christian_Quo Was your account hacked? These photos of “worst” don’t tell of the love and goodness of God
