A Podcast chat @My Light Still Shines

by Karmen |

The Lord sent sweet Retha my way back in November while in Nashville at the Business Boutique.  Her unforgettable testimony is no doubt proof of God’s amazing grace.  I invite you to get to know my new-found friend by visiting her website rethanichole dot com or better yet by subscribing to her podcast @My Light Still Shines where we are chatting today about the verse that changed the way I live.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

After you’ve listened let Retha and I know in comments what you are praying BIG about in this season of your life.

Much love,

CONFESSIONS of a PART-TIME CHRISTIAN [a PODCAST]

by Karmen |

Hey friends

Just so you know, y’all are the absolute best.  No joke.  You love so well and encourage even better.  Let’s friends forever and ever, amen.

 

Thank you for being so gracious in between post which hopefully won’t be so long since my childhood friend Brandi came and kick started OPERATION PURGE!

 

This is what her face did.

scared-boy

It has been exhausting and exhilarating.  She came to my house, set mission organization into motion and promised not to sell our skankiness to any tabloid ev-uh.  Our disarray was so, so b-a-d but over the last week we have emptied, discarded, donated, given away and sold the excess. And noooooww.. I have an office!!!! where all my writing things, ideas, dreams, journals, resource books, and computer are in ONE PLACE.  I can take no credit.   It was ALL my friend.  She’s brilliant and I will sing of her glorious, OCDness as long as I have breath.

Speaking of breath.  I am breathing so much easier since OPERATION PURGE and with all the new oxygen to my brain I have been able to think, write and record.  Which brings us to today.

Today’s podcast was hard because like my house before my friend-so much ugliness is exposed but more than I care if you know my ugliness or skankiness in my house I want you to know Jesus and see Jesus at work in your life.  I want you to hear of His unfailing grace and forgiveness.  I pray you will listen for His love with open hearts, open ears and open minds.  If this word is for you, your people or your friends…   May God be honored and glorified in this place.

Take a listen to CONFESSIONS OF A PART-TIME CHRISTIAN

LADIES!~DON'T MISS THIS!

by Karmen |

“How does someone know God?”

 

“Doubt is in all of us….”

 

“Unbelief is no small thing.”

 

“Are there holes in your faith?”

 

Are you willing to risk it all?

 

“Until there is total surrender, there is no vision.”

 

Are you willing to prayerfully surrender and say,

 

“God, we will do anything.  Anything.”

 

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!

 

LADIES these are just a handful of the nuggets of goodness we will be reading together this summer in our book study:

WHERE:  WILLS VALLEY COMMUNITY CHURCH

 

WHEN: begins TOMORROW, JUNE 9th @ 10:00AM

 

WHAT: an 8-week study designed to help you discover your own anything.

 

“It’s time to trade your safe and comfortable life for one that is……

  • SURRENDERED
  • RECKLESS
  • COURAGEOUS
