So…life lately has been pretty heavy. I have tons heavy on my heart. I have tons heavy on my plate (projects). I also feel like I’ve my body has been hit with a ton of bricks. Health issues are not fun. But, I’m not here to complain. I’m here today to have some fun.
I’m bringing back The LIST on Fridays.
Just light and easy.
Today’s List is all about life lately. I would be super thrilled if you joined in as well…I so want to get to know you!! Feel free to make a comment with your “life lately” list based on some of my prompts below.
~What I’m working on: Whew! Prepping for the book launch of my second book Just RISE UP!: A Call To Make Jesus Famous. Just typing that makes my heart pitter patter with excitement and nerves! Here’s what I wrote on the LIVE IT OUT! FB community page:
Ok…gulp…there are literally 60 days to the date that Just RISE UP! comes out. Butterflies are a flyin’ in my tummy. Insecurity on the rampage. Will this project stand up to what I hoped for? Will people really “get” my vision that I so passionately labored over for months on end? Did I really go that far out on the limb?? No turning back now. REMEMBER: It’s not about me, it is about the message and the ONE that I so desire to make His name famous: Jesus.
~What I’m eating these days: Green Smoothies! Tons of fruit and kale and spinach.
~What I’m listening to: My Pandora station is usually set to the Jesus Culture station.
~What I’m reading: The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard…heavy stuff…
~What I’m loving: My guys. My sweet 6 year old with his missing front tooth and his little lisp because of it. My awesome, supportive husband who has been such a care taker while I’ve been ill. You should hear me whine when I don’t feel good. Not cute!
Ok…I think that’s a long enough list for today! Now it is your turn. Would be so excited to hear from you!

I love how you said a mixture of healthy and some unhealthy. I do that too!! Hugs!
Here’s My List since I was on vacation when I received my email:
What I’m Working On: Um yeah…..playing monkey in the middle, since I work two part time jobs to supplement for a full time job. In the meantime, have been offered by both companies that they want me full time. BIG OFFERS from both…LOVE BOTH COMPANIES. This is now larger than myself and my family. It’s about where I will be a beacon for Jesus the most. I have to give my decision by WEDNESDAY! I only have 2 days to decide…..I know Daddy God has it……because I thought I did at first and now I am not so sure anymore.
What I’m Eating: Well I have Celiac Disease. I HAVE TO EAT HEALTHY. But occasionally I break down and have things with lots of calories and carbs. I can’t touch gluten so I don’t break down and cheat. I can’t afford what could happen so I may have a Snickers bar or my hubby will bake me some no bake chocolate cookies with peanut butter.
What I’m Listening To: Oh man I am TOTALLY digging Jamie Grace right now. She is such a talented songwriter. LOVE her passion and longing for Jesus. It’s in line with mine. I also LOVE ANYTHING that plays on Air1 radio.
What I’m Reading: WOW! I have 2 little ones, work 2 part time jobs, so the only reading I do is when I do my devotion time when I am in the word or grab a magazine to read here and there….I know it’s sad because I LOVE TO READ. I am such a bookworm, or used to be. I have at least 20 books on my Kindle and have read maybe 1 in the past year or two. My goal is to change that and work 1 job so that I can spend more time with my children and have MORE ME time and MORE Mommy and Daddy time. Spending time with the MOST important people matters most to me! God and my family!!!!
I’m SO glad you’re bringing back the list, Sarah! Your life lately sounds similar to my own, but different, too, of course. I’m learning to treat my health issues with all natural alternatives, and I’ve been eating up (or would it be slurping up?) green drinks and protein shakes, working on writing projects . . . AND getting excited about JUST RISE UP! =) Seriously, though . . . I hope you are doing well and hope you have a peace-filled week, friend!

I think everything published was actually very reasonable. But, what about this? suppose you were to write a killer post title? I am not suggesting your content is not good., but suppose you added a post title to maybe grab a person’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people to click. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more interesting.|
