What are your dreams and desires for 2016? I know, it probably feels like I'm rushing this post ... and maybe I am a little bit. But I was thinking this morning how 2015 has flown by and I know these last few days of this year will be gone like a flash. So I started a little list of dreams I have for next year. Just some hopes and plans I'm pondering and treasuring as I look at what I hope 2016 will bring. These aren't the big goals and resolutions we often talk about as a new year ... [Read More]
Living Wisely in the Everyday
Welcome to day 7 of STAND OUT: 7 traits of a counter cultural life. You can find an index of all the posts in this series here. Today we're wrapping up our discussion about wisdom, the foundational trait of a counter cultural life. So far, we've recognized our need for wisdom from above and discovered the path to true wisdom is only through God. Now it's time to get to the nitty gritty—the practical application of how wisdom impacts our daily pursuit of a counter cultural life. What does ... [Read More]
Be Generous with Grace
Grace: the unmerited favor of God; receiving that which we don't deserve. We can’t do enough or be good enough or live well enough to earn the grace God has given. It’s why verses like this mean much to us as believers: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 Not from ourselves. Not of ourselves. Not through ourselves. It isn’t about us at all. Grace is entirely ... [Read More]
Keep. It. Shut. {Asking God to Do the Hard Things in Us}
First off, I need to admit something: I adore Karen Ehman. In fact, I might even be a little awestruck by her. She is energetic, entertaining, and everything she writes makes me feel like she’s been reading my prayer journal. Seriously, this woman seems to know me.

And, in a very Teri ... [Read More]
For Your Weekend
The big news this week is I got my hair cut and colored. Isn't it amazing how a great cut and color can make you feel so much better. Just like my clothes were adding extra stress in my day, so was my hair. I actually spent some time looking for the best style for my face shape. As this article on YouBeauty says, "While a great hairstyle can lift years off your look and make you feel completely reinvigorated, few realize that it’s your face shape that is truly at play. As the foundation for any ... [Read More]
On Fruit and Monday Mornings
{This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through them I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.} Some Monday mornings don't look quite like we had planned. I had all sorts of plans for this Monday morning. Most of them centered around coffee, the Ellie Holcomb station on Pandora, and a ton of writing. But the fruit ... oh the fruit. The fruit so desperately needing to be turned into something else before the fruit fly invasion began. The fruit ... [Read More]
