Pray That Junk Down

August 20, 2015June 27, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

It has been some months since I’ve written. Church planting, pfh…more like soul stripping. In all the best, most painful ways. Nearly one year after moving here, I find myself, our family, never more aware of either the weakness in my spirit or the power in my soul. Everything has changed, and yet everything is just

Lessons from Spain

April 26, 2015July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

We stood looking at each other, sandwiched between the cold, white floors and stark, fluorescent lights of the airport. It was early – five thirty or six in the morning, maybe. I faced a coffee shop – positioned just behind my parents and my boyfriend. I shifted awkwardly from foot to foot in my red

Always Ask

March 16, 2015 Emily P. Blackwell

I am a dreamer. I dream wide and long and often. Every day I dream new dreams about what could be – in my home, in my family, in my church, in my community, in my career. When I was in high school and time stretched out before me, long and lazy, I would spend

Bread and Wine? More like bread and whine!

February 27, 2015June 27, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

Bread & Wine by Shauna Niequist. I cannot put it down. Let me explain something to you – I am a mother of three small children. Time for sitting and reading – focused fully on words on a page – it is not possible for very many minutes in a row on very many days

Sex, Thrills, and Fifty Shades of Grey.

February 10, 2015June 27, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

Fifty Shades of Grey. Let’s just go ahead and throw it out there. The chatter is endless. The stances are varying. I’m not here to write a critique about the movie or the books themselves. I’ve not read or seen them, and I do not plan to do so. It’s a bad idea for my

Don’t Leave Out the Messy – still brewing

January 26, 2015 Emily P. Blackwell

Let’s live here for another post. I’ve been thinking a lot about it. Today, I was reading in Joshua 2 about Rahab (I’m using IF:Equip – a great resource for studying the Word on your own and reflecting on it in an online community). The obvious take away is that God uses anyone who is

Don’t Leave Out the Messy

January 22, 2015June 27, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

I need to say something. Don’t leave out the messy. Josh had a conversation with some friends of his the other day about starting a new church – about how they would do it if they had the chance (and the desire or calling). Their answers were honest, thoughtful, and honestly very helpful for Josh

Because Sometimes I Wish I Was a Big Deal

January 14, 2015June 27, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

  In your relationship with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found

When I Grow Up I Want to Be an Unfrantic Woman

January 12, 2015June 27, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

I stood in the shower letting the hot water massage the back of my neck. “Why am I so tired? Like pregnant tired? But I am NOT pregnant [just so we are all VERY clear].” I fell asleep last week during not one, but two, of my all time favorite movies. I simply could not

BOLD

January 9, 2015 Emily P. Blackwell

New Year’s Eve. It never seems to pan out for Josh and me. This year Josh rang in the new year painting by the light of a giant work lamp. I watched Gilmore Girls and then fell asleep at 10:30 after spending all day edging his previous night’s paint job. It was so very romantic.
