Faith Filled Friday & Why I've Been MIA

Hi! I'm so glad you're here! I really love how we get to partner together in the blog world to glorify God and make Jesus known. 

So you may have noticed I've been a bit missing in action the last couple of weeks. I better explain. 

Each year Master Plan (the ministry my husband and I are part of) partner with Cru to help staff a conference for about a thousand people. Austin and I both had some pretty intensive responsibilities and it came TWO days after Christmas.

So basically it looked like this. Making a giant Christmas dinner, doing a quick clean up the next day, finishing up details and gathering supplies for our talks and seminar, packing for a family of 7 to drive 5 minutes away to stay in a hotel for a week. 5 minutes! And can I just tell you how anti-climactic that is!?! The van piled high...  we're all ready to go, drive 5 minutes. "Ok, we're here kids!" Anyway, the conference went well and the kids for the most part stayed healthy. (Except for the one time the bio-hazard guy had to come clean our room because of... well, you know, gross stuff.)


And... remember those connect cards I told you about? Well the publishing arm of Cru wants to distribute them. So exciting!!

So, it's been a 5 minute away adventure with Jesus. But now I'm back. And I'm glad you are too! Lets go strong for the Lord using our abilities and opportunities online this year. 

Which btw, I just wrote about making resolutions if you haven't thought that through yet. 

Faith Filled Friday Blog Link Up

We exist to glorify God, to display His heart and character. And I just love how we are all uniquely built to do that. So every Friday I want to give you, uniquely designed by God, an opportunity to link up your thoughts on God, art, baking, photography, parenting, marriage, homeschooling, writing or blogging and more if they tie into or display the Lord somehow. 

Here's how it works.
1. Link up as many blog posts as you want below by clicking the link below and following the prompts. (Perhaps think of old posts you want more exposure to as well as new ones.)

2. Let your readers know by including a link at the bottom of your post (or somewhere on your side bar) or paste my button code (found below and on the side bar).

3. Take a minute to comment on another sweet lady's post.
