These shoes represent a new belief that I could learn something on my “never” list. As a severe asthmatic since childhood, running was just not an option. I loved other activities but running was for “real athletes”. Here’s the harsh reality: 3 years ago, I could not run in place for 20 seconds. As ALWAYS, God delights in our “I could never attitude”! He is the author of all things new-new strength, new power, & (most of all) a new perspective. This was a private battle of endurance for me with hundreds of needy (desperate?) prayers for help from Jesus. My favorite accountability partner/ENCOURAGER Brian rejoiced over all 1,200 miles (literally) w/ me! Our friends, Mike & Dara, have built their business on empowering people!! These old running shoes are being retired to my own Neverland!! @pastorbriangfisher @brcnuge @brazosrunningco #WhatsyourNever? #icantbelievethisdaycame #ifIcanUcantrustme � — with Michael Nugent, Dara Tolson Nugent, Brian G.

More than just breaking bread
This verse may be in every kitchen in America! Many know this verse. At least the “broke bread & ate together” part. I’m betting you’re like me-I sometimes read only part of a verse & miss the beauty of the entire verse. Look at the end of this verse-it tells us HOW they broke bread & ate. They were together “WITH GLAD & SINCERE HEARTS”. They were living in kindness & humility toward one another thereby saturating their mealtime with God-given love! This is the kind of potluck that refreshes God’s people. ❤️ #bookofActs#magnoliamarket #kitchen #art #fellowship #friendship #familymeal
Tyndale, Luther, Moody, Spurgeon
True confessions-I’m a church history nerd. Christian biographies, missionary stories, & the events that formed to our faith in encouraging me so! This summer, I had one goal: to read to my kids about these pillars of faith. William Tyndale-thanks to his bravery, we have a bible in our own language! Martin Luther-the pivotal figure behind the doctrine of “faith alone in Christ alone”, D.L. Moody -the rough shoe salesman turned evangelist who lit America on fire, & Charles Spurgeon-the British “boy preacher” who saw thousands come to Christ! It’s humbling to experience the lineage of these sacrificial servants -they’ve given us much!! #tyndale #luther #moody #spurgeon
