Testimony of One: July 2012
http://babscoppedge.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
God writes the stories of our lives so that we can share them with others and point them back to Him. Sunday, July 8, 2012. Battles have a way of disarming my words and my desire to hold onto those memories. I live each and every one of those hard moments, after all, and if I was really honest I'd confess my belief that living through them is enough for me. Keeping them forever through the written word never sounds appetizing. Seems to come quite naturally, but it's in the holding. My soul is desperate f...

Writing, Regurgitation, and Frogs | Nancy Smith
https://nancysmithonline.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/writing-regurgitation-and-frogs
This is What I'm Sayin'. Writing, Regurgitation, and Frogs. Posted June 13, 2012. I’m on a “writing retreat” at the moment, all by myself. I’m staying in a guest house on a gorgeous ranch in North Texas (yes, such things really do exist), enjoying the hospitality of a new friend. And I’m supposed to be writing. I do on my time away? I ate Well. (Thanks, Deb! I slept. I prayed. I thought. I listened. And I learned to. Social media has, I believe, allowed this practice to become more commonplace than ever ...

Testimony of One: Heavenly Hope: A Journal Stone

God writes the stories of our lives so that we can share them with others and point them back to Him. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Heavenly Hope: A Journal Stone. I lift up my eyes. where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and earth. Recently wrote a short but powerful testimonial blog. Sharing HOPE is a testimony. So I'm anchoring my response here to not only have a journal stone that reminds me of this day's hope (because it's so necessary to be able to look back on...

Testimony of One: March 2014

God writes the stories of our lives so that we can share them with others and point them back to Him. Tuesday, March 11, 2014. What if We Dared to Look Deeply? 8221; more than once, and really mean it. These were some of her companions, but there were others too. This kind of insanity is dangerously deceptive because while crazy tends to prominently display itself, the heart can hide itself in pretend smiles and creative words that tell a story of what’s longed for but not actually lived out. When not kn...

Testimony of One: Choosing Differently
http://babscoppedge.blogspot.com/2013/08/choosing-differently.html
God writes the stories of our lives so that we can share them with others and point them back to Him. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Today Today I read this. I've neglected words, and I am well aware again of the price I pay when I do. Thirsty. Parched. Dry. Cracking. Apathetic. And then bored and empty. But today I chose differently. That's all it really takes. Choosing Differently. And it's not just words. It's every gift really. But for me it's that written trifecta. That perfect storm that keeps my h...

Testimony of One: Music
http://babscoppedge.blogspot.com/p/music.html
God writes the stories of our lives so that we can share them with others and point them back to Him. JANUARY 8, 2015]. Every January for the past few years, I've asked God to direct my attention to a song that will encompass the theme of that new year; a song that will not direct my heart towards Him but also be used as a declaration over circumstances, loss, redemption, etc. Through the eyes of men. It seems there's so much. As we look down the road. Where all the prodigals. And one by one. Come alive,...

God writes the stories of our lives so that we can share them with others and point them back to Him. Thursday, May 9, 2013. Let Them Come Home by Abraham Piper. The article below was written by Abraham Piper (John Piper's son). I actually copied it straight from another blog. And am keeping it here because it's just so ridiculously powerful and practical. The following is Abraham’s account. Written for Decision Magazine. The best way I know to describe what happened to me that morning is that God made i...
