Loved In Spite of Self

A mama who is loved by Jesus, her hubby, and her kids in spite of herself. My hope is that everything I share encourages, points you to Jesus, and illuminates the big love he has for you not because of who you are or what you have done but because of who He is and what He has done.

He Leads: Can You Tell Me How To Get To Easy Street?

October 31, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

My favorite show of all time is 'The Office'. In one episode, Andy, the character who grew up in privilege says 'I've lived an easy life, okay'. Frankly so have I. There are things that have brought a little discomfort but it's generally from my own doing. I write about that easy street and how … Continue reading He Leads: Can You Tell Me How To Get To Easy Street?

He Leads: Where is God in the Brokenness?

October 30, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

“Jesus, where are You in the brokenness?” I’m here, My Spirit living inside you. I’m here, come sit at My table. I’m here, walking on a road alongside you. Read more on Heidi's blog about where God is in the brokenness

He Leads: Life Interrupted

October 29, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

When things or people get in our way we may have some choice words for them. We may even want to call them an a**.... For Balaam that is exactly what was in his path, his own donkey. He got frustrated and beat the poor thing. An angel appeared and let Balaam know that donkey … Continue reading He Leads: Life Interrupted

He Leads: I’d rather have you

October 28, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

There are a myriad of things that distract us from God. The only way we can proclaim 'I'd rather have you' is because of Jesus and all he had done for us. If it were up to me I'd pick all the idols that distract me on a daily basis. I would use things like … Continue reading He Leads: I’d rather have you

He Leads: Dumb Decisions.

October 27, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

Share your story of a silly dumb decision. Or share your story of a serious dumb decision. Without looking at the foolishness we can’t get to the grace. So this week’s key questions are: What’s the worst I could do? Is that forgivable? Spoiler, the answer is always Yes! in Jesus. Watch the video (you’re … Continue reading He Leads: Dumb Decisions.

He Leads: You Have Arrived

October 24, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

As Christians we can get hung up on thinking that the roads we walk in this life are just a means of getting to heaven. But Jesus’ answer for these followers in Scripture is also for us: THE DESTINATION OF ALL THE ROADS WE WALK AS CHRISTIANS ISN’T A PLACE BUT A PERSON. How does … Continue reading He Leads: You Have Arrived

He Leads: For Reasons Unclear

October 23, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / 4 Comments

WHEN THE REASONS ARE UNCLEAR, THE LORD REMAINS CLEAR. Psalm 86:11 gives us a good prayer for times the path is uncertain and reasons are far from us: Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.  When the road is unclear it's not our job … Continue reading He Leads: For Reasons Unclear

He Leads: When People Bring the Wilderness

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

SOMETIMES, WE CREATE THE WILDERNESSES OF OUR LIVES; OTHER TIMES, PEOPLE CREATE THEM FOR US. Joseph knew about wildernesses of other people’s making. In Genesis 37, we are introduced to family dynamics at some of their worst Read more here...

He Leads: He is my Favorite

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT JESUS? He was a prophet mighty in word and deeds, yet also God.  He was condemned to death by religious leaders.  He died and on the third day rose again.  He is our Rescuer.  We can say it has been years since His death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven, yet … Continue reading He Leads: He is my Favorite

He Leads: Speed bumps for Jesus

October 15, 2019 / lovedinspiteofself / Leave a comment

GOD’S SPEEDBUMPS ARE BETTER THAN SMOOTH PAVEMENT ANY DAY. When have you had a God-Bump in your life? When has God dropped you to your knees or thrown up a “Road Closed” sign as you traveled at breakneck speeds toward the destination you thought for sure was perfect? Sometimes God works new plans and paths … Continue reading He Leads: Speed bumps for Jesus
