How To Be A Nice Human

-
Heart of Texas Pregnancy Resource Center
 Sometimes, social media can feel like a swamp of opinions. I'm sure we have all been rubbed the wrong way by someone else's post on the world wide web. We all have feelings about what we see and hear. It's hard to look at the news and not be enraged. We want healing for our nation and land. We want to be free from the tyranny of sin. Sometimes our thoughts are good, but our methods are wrong.  I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to be a nice human.

My heart aches under the number of babies aborted each year. I'm not trying to trigger anyone. I am simply telling you that it grieves me. It also grieves me to see the shame we unknowingly give off in the church that keeps people away. There are people who desperately want healing out there that are afraid to come inside our churches. 

Your voice is powerful. 
Your words are powerful. 
Use them well.

When you post your thoughts and opinions about abortion, be kind. Be the person that draws people to Christ. Remind people that we are all equally unworthy of the love of God, but he gives us worth when we come to him. He heals us and renews us and takes away our shame. One of the enemy's greatest weapons is isolation. Don't help him with it by making people feel unwelcome. Be kind. Listen to people with your whole heart. So many people are terrified and making choices out of fear. Giving them a listening ear is healing. It contradicts the message that they are unwelcome. 

Pray for those who are out there ministering to women of all walks of life.

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel

David Crowder's House Restoration

-

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

Gomer: The Inspiration Board

-

I saw this thing on HGTV once. People would look at these mega-money "inspiration rooms" and try to copy them on a thin budget. I decided I would copy this idea and begin to put inspiration points around the house. My first point is an inspiration board on the front of our house. Much of the paint on the front of the house has been scraped off. So I took it upon myself to sand a whole board down and prime it. She is a beauty. Now, people will be inspired from miles around and flock here due to the inspiration of this one bright white board. At the very least, it has inspired me to want to paint another one.  We had a lovely time of worship here on Sunday at our first night of House Church. The Holy Spirit was so tender with us as He led our hearts to repentance and praise. I am thankful for those the Lord brought here that night to sit in a simple place in a simple way to worship Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 5 p.m. If you are hurt, lonely, broken, or searching, please join
