http://theaspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/06/seriouslybuild-it-already.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. SERIOUSLY.BUILD IT, ALREADY! It's been four months. Easily. There's a corner we often pass on which a large gas station is to be built. They demolished the one that used to be there, and have been preparing the land for building ever since. And preparing the land. Aaaand preparing that land some more. We know they're out there doing something. We see the large machines working the land nearly every day. But seriously.build that thing already. And yet they keep readying the land.

http://theaspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/01/these-are-game-changers.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. DREAM YEAR WEEKEND: These Are the Game Changers. We just rolled in a few hours ago from the Dream Year Weekend in Charlotte.

Group of creative, kind, genuine, and generous people. Thomas, a lawyer by day and creator of an interactive children's book by "dream." Lance,...

Collide: THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED - PART 1
http://theaspeaks.blogspot.com/2011/01/day-everything-changed-part-1.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED - PART 1. 11 years ago today. I walked down that little corridor between Gate B23 and a Boston-bound airplane, absolutely mindful that nothing would be the same. I was moving three time zones away based on a call of faith- stepping out on "nothing" and praying like crazy I was gonna land on something. My car had a lot of miles on it, and would have 3,000 more if I drove it out there. This wasn't making sense. So I began to tell God every reason this wa...

Collide: Truth
http://theaspeaks.blogspot.com/p/truth.html
I'm so very flawed, but in the Word I find I'm so very forgiven. I want my own way, but in Scripture I encounter a Servant who did not come to be served but to serve- and I want to become like Him. I stare into the face of daunting circumstances, but all over the pages of my Bible I find those who, against all hope, believed in the promises of God. Maybe you really want to have that time in God's Word, but you don't know where to begin. Here are some of the things that help me know where to go:. These ar...

Collide: WHY I CAN'T TAKE OFF YET
http://theaspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-i-cant-take-off-yet.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. WHY I CAN'T TAKE OFF YET. The other morning I got stopped at a red light beside the airport. I turned to see a plane at the start of the runway and felt a huge nudge in my heart. I felt the Holy Spirit saying, " Watch. And so I did. I watched the plane begin to pick up speed. More and more. And by the end of the long, long runway, the plane had finally built up the speed and momentum to take off. Why do I expect it to be any different in my own life? Not yet, anyway. Point taken&...
