WanderingellimaC: You're Asking the Wrong Questions
http://wanderingellimac.blogspot.com/2015/05/youre-asking-wrong-questions.html
Until the last lock breaks. You're Asking the Wrong Questions. I think I ask all the wrong questions. But I think the only thing I should be focusing on - or the only thing that REALLY matters that will make all the other things fall into place is intimacy with God. How much do I love God? What can I do to get to know him and seek him in new ways today? How can I renew and deepen my love for him? Am I living my life the way I do because I love God? Or a relentless rat race?

Until the last lock breaks. I am overwhelmed. and overjoyed. and awe-struck. God is so good. so so very good. It is impossible for me to describe how much i love what i do. what god has called me to do. the redemption and grace god allows me to be part of. This week we’ve worked with a family from the midwest that lost track of their daughter. they were fearful that she had perhaps been trafficked. we networked with lots of other ministries and police departments and eventually FOUND HER! I made my famou...

The intersection of science and faith is a deep and abiding passion of mine, particularly as my life has me living in both spheres. I’ve been a member of University Temple United Methodist Church for 14 years, and I’ve been high school chemistry teacher for 24. In particular, I’m called to explore how I can speak into what is sometimes. CHECK IT OUT. Cozy reads from our Chicks. If Jesus was Your Preacher.

Until the last lock breaks. A brief testimony I gave in Fuller Chapel today. Thought I'd post it here (since I am terrible at being a regular blogger! Today’s topic is VISION. Can't you just end all this pain and darkness? And time and time again He says - do what you can. Care for them. Listen to them. Walk with them and tend to their brokenness. And sometimes I feel like all I can do is laugh at the insignificance of it all. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Donate to After Hours Ministry.

WanderingellimaC: john school
http://wanderingellimac.blogspot.com/2015/05/john-school.html
Until the last lock breaks. I had the privilege of attending the “john school” or Prostitution Diversion Program at the 77. I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into the training. To be honest, my fear was that the school was going to be very shame-based. But it was delightfully refreshing. I walked away with such hope, inspiration and encouragement for what this program is doing and what more we can be doing to help the men of Los Angeles. 8220;We’re not here to discuss if prostitution shoul...

Until the last lock breaks. Sitting in the Pain and Darkness. It's one of the harder conversations you'll have out on the track. The ones that seem to have no hope. The ones that end in tears. I'm serious. When have you ever heard me say this before? I mean it. Get me out of here.". I might have to wait? I have to do intakes? I don't have all night to just sit around and hope something works out.". We spent last night as an After Hours outreach team talking about our fears, and the fears of the women we ...

Until the last lock breaks. Why I Tell Myself I Don't Want Kids - My Messy Beautiful. If I tell myself enough times, maybe I’ll start to believe it. That’s been a life theme of mine. And this has come out in many different story threads throughout my life, but most recently, it’s come through conversations of babies. If I tell myself enough times that I don’t want to have kids, then maybe I’ll start to believe it. And when I can’t – it’s a great excuse to stay home and watch Netflix! I tell people I have...
