Say “Yes!” to God

Ann Voskamp

Lysa TerKeurst

At 8:00 p.m. tonight I’m saying “no” to:

  • T.V
  • Facebook
  • Fluffing the spoiled dog
  • Editing the Christmas e-book
  • Reading the latest issue of The Writer’s Chronicle

…so that I can say “Yes to God” by joining Lysa TerKeurst and Ann Voskamp (author of One Thousand Gifts!) for their combined Webcast on the subject of what it means to say “Yes!” to God.

Lysa will be speaking on external obedience and the 5 questions to ask yourself when you think God might be speaking to you. Ann’s message will be about internal obedience and positioning your heart to experience God. Then they’ll come together to answer questions sent in through Twitter.

Registration is simple. It’s one hour. And free.

What are you willing to say “no” to tonight—so that you can say “Yes!” to God?

The Problem With Perfection


“When the problems before you seem to loom larger than the Power behind you, the purpose in living can fall right out from underneath of you.” – Ann Voskamp

I can’t recall one posting of Ann’s that has not stirred my conscience—and yesterday’s post when perfectionism and to-do lists overwhelm was no exception.

Can you relate?

My Kind of Camping


Location: The backyard or interior room (close to all amenities – sold!) Purpose: Reading, writing, quiet time, or a slumbering spell

Need I say more?

When I spotted Tatertots & Jello (how creative!) on Ann Voskamp’s recent post, I knew scouting it out would be time well spent—and I wasn’t disappointed. I’m a fan!

Would you agree that everyone needs their own “Summer Reading Teepee”—a place to escape, to get lost, and to wonder? It may not be crafted from cloth on clearance or have a bowl of Smarties nearby (although I’m thinking it will be more enjoyable if so), but the shabby chandelier? Now, that’s a must!

I have a feeling Brian will be purchasing lots-‘o-PVC-piping in the future as Piper (future granddaughter) has her name written all over this tent.

Brief stay + amenities + reading + giggling = my kind of camping.
