Finding Your Calling without Losing Your Identity

Last updated on: February 16, 2013 at 6:36 am By Grace Sandra

One of the most challenging aspects of the last 8 months of life has been the drastic shift from a life in Ministry to a life in the “secular marketplace.” I’m writing my 1st ever article today for Prodigal Magazine on this very thing. I wanted to explore the idea of how often we lose sight of the most basic aspects of our faith in pursuit of a grandiose calling. Which, is um, sorta what I did. Come join me... Read more

Exactly Where This Blog is Headed in 2013

Last updated on: February 12, 2013 at 2:10 pm By Grace Sandra

I am a communicator: a writer, a speaker, an artsy fartsy fashionista who has a hard time NOT communicating in one way or another. It’s nearly impossible for me to shut myself down, shut myself up or shut myself out of community & conversations. That is why I blog. Because I have to. Being a rabid communicator is who I am and how typically how I bless others the most effectively. I have to speak. I have to lead small... Read more

A Walk To Remember

Last updated on: February 5, 2013 at 11:23 pm By Grace Sandra

This is the final post in the When God Speaks {or doesn’t} guest post series. When I issued an open invitation to ‘occupy’ my blog on twitter & the GwG facebook page, I had no idea I’d get so many great posts & post-ees. If you missed them, take a look back in the Jan. archives! I’m still not sure why, but it felt incredibly liberating and empowering to host a diversity of inspiring, vulnerable, beautifully told voices. What a giant,... Read more

Last updated on: February 4, 2013 at 8:25 am By Grace Sandra

Every 1st Monday, I’ll be taking seriously my One Word for 2013 by joining Kristin, Alyssa, Suzannah, Leigh, From Two To One & others to update how our one word for the year of 2013 is helping us to live more purposefully. Some are choosing to use their one word solely while others, ahem, like me, are also really hoping to finish up a list of goals for 2013 that are specific but driven by my one word. If you haven’t chosen a... Read more

netizen |ˈnetəzən| noun a user of the Internet, esp. a habitual or avid one. ~ The one that made me even more impressed with Donald Miller and want to rush out and buy his next book. My understanding of the Church has radically changed. Since Blue Like Jazz came out, I’ve sat in many a green room and talked with many Christian leaders and I’ve discovered there’s a lot of competition and power struggle taking place in the church and...

Afraid

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 10:34 pm By Grace Sandra

My littlest one, my Rhysie-Bear, this imaginative 3 yr. old nearly every night, says he’s afraid of monsters. And every night we tell him he doesn’t have to be because God is always with him, no matter what. I say the same thing to the little Ranzo-Panzo, the curious 7 yr. old who understands the reality that a big wind could actually come and blow our little house down. “Even then?” he asks. “Yep,” I say. “Even then we don’t...

Im Radiant with a Purpose

Last updated on: January 29, 2013 at 10:52 pm By Grace Sandra

{Don’t forget January is Human Trafficking Awareness month. Just a few days ago I talked about how I have 17 slaves working for me. Sigh. Today, another encouraging group seeks to do the extraordinary through cosmetic shopping} Can we kiss slavery goodbye through something so ordinary as lipstick? Well, it seems, in part! I’m excited to highlight for you www.RadiantCosmetics.org What I appreciate about Radiant is that they are physically involved through outreach, aftercare efforts much like the TOMS model....
