Moving Again….
We just moved our offices at MinistryDirect.com this past week, again….still waiting on cabinets and mailboxes to be put up….. it all still seems pretty misplaced. Over the past couple of months I’ve been in three offices, which goes to show just how mobile an office that deals strictly with the internet can be…..I guess I could set up office at home, at a coffee shop, just anywhere I can pick up a wireless internet signal and not miss a beat.
I have become so dependent on mobile technology….I wonder what I did with my time before my laptop, before my Blackberry, before all the social networking tools at my fingertips every day. Is all of this just clutter or giving me more time to spend on things that matter most…..like my time in God’s Word – I have that on my phone, of course. Does it give me time with the fam – we instant message and text throughout the day? If I’m looking for an answer to a question I Google it or check on Wikipedia and can get more answers that I would ever need. I no longer have the need for cookbooks because every cupcake recipe imaginable is a mouse click away.

My prayer is that as full as my life gets with the technology that makes my mind race faster and faster that I keep in check the time spent with God. I pray that I just don’t take the time for a quick IM here and there throughout the day and that be enough…..but I remove some of the noise to meditate in His presence daily and learn to wait and listen for His voice and direction.
Lord, tell me your ways. Show me how to live.Psalm 25:4 (NCV)
About
Food, Fashion, Fitness and Family!
I am a Christ follower, Married for 26 years to my Michael. He and I are total opposites which proves to be an adventure every single day! I have a 23 year old daughter who is a newlywed and we love, love, love our Son-In-Law, a bff that lives way too far away, and 2 fabulous dogs that we spoil way too much. I am also passionatte about baking fabulous CUPCAKES! …..it’s total therapy to me. I’m definitely a baker, not a cooker. Co-youth pastored for 14 years and co-pastored awhile….now I’m kind of a mis-placed minister’s spouse as Michael is with Convoy of Hope and I now work in social media and own a Online Cupcake Bakery: Red’s Cupcakes …..and I’m out just trying to find my place in His Kingdom.
Hope you decide to come along on this journey with me… What goes on in my everyday life, my family, my career, my walk with the Lord, my fitness craze, my obsession with CUPCAKES, and of course, the crazy love for my dogs (and yes, it is a bit crazy)… it might just prove to be fun!
