Well hellllloooo there, Friday! I’m seriously excited about today because my birthday celebration begins tonight with sushi dinner and a movie. Actually, my birthday isn’t until Monday but I always like to make a BIG deal of birthdays in general (especially my own!) and so we are starting early.
On to the LIST before I get too excited thinking about birthday presents!!!
I thought it would be fun to list out what influences us these days. Now, before you give me your best “Sunday school answer,” I ask that you get specific! So instead of just saying, “the Bible influences me,” go ahead and list out particular books or verses in the Bible that really fire you up. I’m going to be listing all kinds of things, not just “churchy” stuff.
**thank you Rebecca from France for this week’s LIST idea**
Here we go:
~Music!! I’m totally influenced these days by Jesus Culture and anything from Bethel Church.
~The author A.W. Tozer is really rockin’ it for me too. Love his book The Pursuit Of God. It is an older book that I’ve already read but I’m circling back to it for research on my next book.
~In the past I’ve totally been influenced by magazines, especially fitness mags. Nothing wrong with them but I get too caught up in wanting to look like the perfect models who have been perfectly photo shopped.
~Lately I’ve been influenced by artist that I love. In the art world, we call pretty art or pictures, “eye candy.”
~Psalm 145 has me all fired up these days, too. Man I could read that Psalm every day!
So that’s my LIST. What would you add to YOURS?
Leave a comment, let’s chat!
Happy Early Birthday! Love your blog :)
Hey Sarah, happy early birthday!!
Things that get me fired up right now include:
-Justin Timberlake’s new album. hah. I am obsessed with it and am learning how to play one of the songs on my guitar. Could sing to it all day every day!
-Psalm 139! I couldn’t stop reading it and thinking about it yesterday! I feel like it’s the perfect encouragement for my current struggles.
-The two books I’m reading through, A Confident Heart by Renee Swope and YOUR book, Stress Point!
-My guitar! It has inspired a whole new side of creativity in my heart! I love learning how to play and sing along with it…I love sitting outside and letting the breeze blow through my hair as I clumsily strum through songs. It’s a whole new sense of freedom from the rest of my life!
-Real World: Portland. Go ahead and laugh, but it’s awesome.
:D fun topic! Thanks for the idea, Renee!
Forgot one thing! Spring colors!! I am a typically black/navy/brown girl, so I am actually amazed at how much I’m attracted to pastels and bright, fun colors this year! Looking forward to brightening up my life with all the fun colors God has created! I even traded my black/navy sports watch for a fun white watch today!

Currently it appears like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?|

You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I in finding
this topic to be actually one thing that I think I would by no means
understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely large for me.
I’m looking ahead to your subsequent publish, I will attempt
to get the cling of it!
Simply wish to say your article is as amazing. The clarity on your publish is simply great and that i could assume you are knowledgeable in this subject. Fine with your permission allow me to grab your feed to keep updated with impending post. Thank you one million and please keep up the enjoyable work.|
