Father of Lights.

Have you seen this documentary yet?!

It's life changing.

No, really.

Our Overflow college students gathered one night months to watch it together. Following the hour and a half film, a living room became a sanctuary as they broke into a prayer service.

After hearing them rave about this movie, Jon and I finally were able to view it.

It shook me.

It wowed me.

It put new perspective in my mind and shed light on old beliefs in my heart.

We knew what we had to do.

Share this with others!

It's a beautiful depiction of God- who He is, what He's doing around the world, our response and call to action as his followers.



This past Wednesday, Overflow College Ministry hosted an event on Trevecca's campus so students could view the film. Sure we "spiced" it up with big projector screens, buttery popcorn, and a candy bar (college students will gather anywhere for free food), but the best part of setting up was watching our college students pray over the seats that their peers would soon fill. They prayed over the room, claiming it in God's name, so that His work would be done. We invited the Holy Spirit to show up. And boy, were our prayers answered.

A room full of college students, breaking up into small groups to lay hands on one another and pray aloud over one another? Yeah. There's no better place to be at 11:00pm on a Wednesday night.

It was beautiful.



You gotta see it.

Then come share with me how it rocked you!

joy in simple things

Lately I've been so tired of hearing the word "busy". 

Most of the time this word is escaping my own lips, and not on a positive reflection, but often as an excuse.

This past week or so, I have tried to be intentional about celebrating joy through simple things in life.

Life may be busy, but when living life from behind unclouded eyes, there is always a reason to stop and choose joy.

Here are a few of mine:

1) Completing a budget meeting with a thankful heart for our God who is Faithful and Provisional.

2) Finishing a loooong, but rewarding, day snuggled up to my adoring husband by the fire.

3) Grateful students who give awesome Christmas presents. 

The hubs and I sure enjoyed our milkshakes!

4) First of all, friends. Great friends. 

5) A night out with these people we're blessed to do life with.

6) A Saturday morning at home WITH my Love. A time to sleep, create, and eat. 

No matter how busy your week may get, don't neglect to stop and find joy.

Even in the simple things.

party like it's 1999

Oh, yes. We did. 

We had a joint birthday party. 

At the skating rink.

I gotta say, y'all... My hubs has some moves on the rink!

We were so thankful for our friends that came out to celebrate with us. 

It felt like school skate night... only way better.

Our friend, Tanielle as we affectionately call her, baked us a DELISH strawberry birthday cake.

Really, it was soooo good.

Thanks for the laughs, guys. We hope you weren't too sore the next morning. :)
