Mission in Moana: Where You Are

I know, I know. I sound like a broken record harping on Moana again, but in my house this instant Disney classic lives on repeat as my five year old’s latest addiction. Still, as I explained in my last post, I believe there is more to Moana, and I’d like to delve a bit deeper into a hidden theme in this movie—and that is the theme of missions.

W.O.W.: When God Says NO

My heart sank as I walked back into my office. All of the dreams I’d allowed myself to conjure, those warm, weightless dreams that cause you to bubble over with excitement, were now lying around me, pointed shards of glass. That’s what happens when God says “No”.

More to Moana

Disney has done it again, folks! They have managed to create a stunning, new animated movie that has captured the hearts of children and parents alike. Yet unlike the big freeze that kept children Frozen in 2013, I believe most parents can agree that Moana’s songs are not something we will tire of soon, and neither we will tire of the message behind them.

W.O.W.! Thomas the Redeemed

In this week’s Word on Wednesday, we will take a look at Thomas the redeemed.

Let’s take a look at the scripture:

For When I Think I’m Mighty

When I think I’m mighty,

When I’m conquering life’s waves,

It’s then that you remind me,

I am free to go my own way.

W.O.W.! Thomas the Believer

Over the past few weeks, we’ve discovered the bravery and bold nature often overlooked in Thomas. In today’s Word on Wednesday we will take a closer look at Thomas the believer.

Let’s start by going to the scripture found in John 20.

I Got a New Tattoo

Okay…so it really isn’t that new.

I got it in January. It was my birthday present–for my 30th birthday.

From the moment I planned this unique and awe-inspiring work of art (for that is what a tattoo is, a work of art on your skin), my fingers have been itching to tell you all about it. In fact, I’ve typed this post before, multiple times–but it seems as if my words can never fully do my heart justice. 

W.O.W.! Thomas the Bold

Last week’s Word on Wednesday was about Thomas and his brave statement in John 11:16. This week, I’d like to continue to delve into Thomas’s character and look at another one of his character traits, his boldness!

So, let’s look to the scripture.

The Atheist Meeting

“The Atheist Meeting” is a true story, something that I, myself, have experienced alongside my husband and one of my closest friends. While I was completely terrified during this experience, in retrospect, I am so thankful that it happened. I learned so much about judging others, standing up for our faith, and allowing God to speak through us. I share it only in hopes of allowing my story to speak to someone else.
