Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor
will also cry out and not be answered.

Proverbs 21:13 (NIV)

 

There is still time: A Confident Heart

I realized for the first time this morning that through my life I have placed my trust in “mere men”. Typically that mere (wo)man was me, I was convinced I could do it on my own. (Isn’t that what the world tells us?) But in all the times I trusted myself and came to the end of MY capability to do anything, that is where Jesus met me and said, “Here’s the path. . .follow me” I ignored it for a long time and consequence followed.(‘Cursed is the one, who places his trust in “mere men”) FINALLY, while I still fail alot, I’m beginning to get it. I will trust the LORD, and He will bless me(HE PROMISES) I have a story to tell . . . Anne Crawford Strength … Please join more than 8500 women on the journey with Renee Swope

Today, I’m so completely Thankful to be the new Women’s Ministry Coordinator at my church … this volunteer position started last August and I’ve been hard at work since then. Finally celebrating some break through moments … but to keep myself humble … it’s sonya la in lower case.

HE said it first …

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and FOLLOW ME. Matthew 16:24

I’m so honored and amazed in HIM on this very day. Honored that HE is my photo scout. Amazed that it is HIM who creates such awesome photo opportunities for you and me.

So much JOY fills this room … this room of HIM and me … this room of you and HIM … How I LOVE to connect with Jennifer and friends … In the Studio for Sneak peek fridays

Twitter & Black Friday

Black Friday was once known as the day, that most retailers books went from red to black … hence the name black Friday. Now it’s know as this crazy SALE shopN day. And, you can tweet the shopN day away if you may. According to Venturebeat most folks are shopN for themselves. But Rick Warren reminds us what our Father desires of us.

love is a verb sonya la

let your WORSHIP … lead to your work

we so often get it wrong, we so often have it ALL backwards. If you are experienceing a creative famine, as I have been ALL this past summer. Maybe it’s time for a little check up or just time for digging in to the word … HIS word. Yes, I’ve been digging in …

Yes … HE has supplied much time to study.

You see our FATHER works in units of time … HE is the GREAT time keeper. You know, when someone is sick … at death’s door … we pray for more time … we are faithful to honor HIS time … then … what about now. As Anne Graham Lotz states in this twelve year old study … let your WORSHIP …

lead to your work.

ShareN with Jennifer today of In the Studio … Sneak Peek Friday and it’s Friday … Amen … love is a verb … sonya la
