"Preach always, if necessary use words." - St. Francis Assisi One of the easiest ways to reach someone with the love of Christ is to be like Him. What was He like? In the Word, He describes Himself as 'servant of all'. If we would take the time to serve those around us, it makes it possible for them to see the love of God in us. It makes Him real. In this second message of the series we'll look at what it means to SERVE. No Words Necessary II - Sunday Burquest from Living Word … [Read more...]
I had the pleasure of once again joining the amazing team at Twin Cities Live. The focus of this segment was ideas on how to brighten your front door area. We covered painted doors, wreaths and more! I was browsing Pinterest for spring wreath ideas and found a cute burlap wreath. It's SO EASY to make! I love how versatile they can be; you can add any color or type of flowers, ribbon or no ribbon or nothing at all. The other amazing thing about these wreaths is they are inexpensive to make. … [Read more...]
{SERVE} There are several meanings to the word serve. If you are a waitress, you're a server or if you get legal papers hand delivered to you, you've been served. I want to focus on this word in the most positive light possible. Did you know if you are a Christian, you are a minister? Ok, before you freak out - let me explain! The word 'minister' literally means: serve the needs of, attain to the needs of. Often times when we hear the word minister, we think in terms of a pastor, evangelist … [Read more...]
Happy Sunday! Last week we started a new series at The Fifth Service: No Words Necessary. One of my favorite quotes is by St. Francis Assi: "Preach always, if necessary use words." As a Christian, it's my job to live my life in such a way that it speaks love and demonstrates who Jesus is to those in my circle of influence. I hope this simple message helps you see how easy it can be to let your light shine! No Words Necessary, "Share Who You Are" - Sunday Burquest from Living Word … [Read more...]

One of my goals this year (I know it's March, but hey I'm a little slow these days) is to learn to eat healthier. I can do Weight Watchers, I know how to cut calories and eat good, but I'm talking about taking it up a notch - actually more than a notch! For me one of the best ways to learn is from a friend. Today I'd like to introduce my friend, Sarah Haglund and her new blog: Life With Greens. I know you'll love her as much as I do, did I mention she's as sweet as apple pie? Hi, I'm Sarah … [Read more...]
{Failure} Did your mom ever give you this advice, "If you don't succeed try, try again"? I found a great one on Facebook the other day, it said: "If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you"- LOL. All of us have failed, probably multiple times, but we have to move past those failures and keep trying! The 'fear of failure' stops many of us from pursuing our dreams. Nobody wants to fail and to avoid it we just don't take the step. Our oldest is going to graduate this year … [Read more...]
{Anxiety} Hello friends! Have you noticed I've been somewhat MIA? I came to the realization last night that my life has been running me instead of me running my life. I have felt out of control and overwhelmed in every area. I'm going to be honest and tell you that not only have I felt 'out of control' but, it's got to the place where I have been dealing with anxiety attacks. This is not something I've dealt with in the past, not until cancer knocked on my door. Now, before you feel sad … [Read more...]
I've been looking for a clock for what seems like forever! I finally found one and it's seriously cuter than I could have imagined. My new 'favorite ever find' came from The Salvation Army for only $129... HAPPY DANCE! The timing of my new treasure couldn't be better as I just decided to re-decorate my kitchen. I'm hosing my first graduation open house this year (BOO) and I'm in decorating mode big time. I knew immediately where my precious clock would reside, in my soon-to-be renovated … [Read more...]
