Their business model was set up to provide those of us who worked full-time additional local leads of anyone who expressed interest in purchasing their jewelry or joining the lia sophia team themself.…

Week 38
continued from Week 37 Recalling those earlier days of our willingness to change the aspects of life Jesus had highlighted for us, I laugh out loud! There was a series of signs He gave that I still shake my head about. Caleb and Spencer had already, out of nowhere, brought up not wanting to go…

Week 34
continued from Week 33… I’ll take this time to mention at the start of the year of 2013, when all of this was happening, I had begun something which was new for me, new for Jesus and I. As I approached the end of 2012 I had asked for a “word” to be highlighted that…

Week 28
7.7.13-7.13.13 continued from week 27… I sent Spencer in through the house to meet me at the front door. I pulled the envelope off the door and opened it, only to read “Urgent Notice” regarding our past due mortgage from Wells Fargo. I stagger to get up the foyer stairs. If Spencer wasn’t here I’d…

Week 27
6.30.13-7.6.13 continuing on from week 25 (and 26)… …There were tears within each of our eyes. Some of the words I shared with our three were “Our days may feel a little more difficult over the next few weeks but we have peace and as we choose to follow Jesus, He will help us.” Sitting…

Week 26
6.23.13-6.29.13 Taking a break from my story / journal sharing to put words to what I cannot explain but I know, and now am propelled to share… On December 1, 2012 I attended the memorial service of Ryan’s dear grandfather, our precious “Pappy O.” This time of remembering Pappy O, unbeknownst to us, was God’s…

Week 25
6.17.13-6.23.13 From my journal on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Jesus, I’ve got a lot of anxiousness about work lately. It’s filled my mind, or at least it’s trying to creep in, to fill my mind. Jesus, You alone are beautiful. The thought of You and me together in eternity is my soul’s only satisfaction. Lord,…

Week 24
6.10.13-6.16.13 continued from week 23… Recall with me why I came to Jesus asking Him “What is Your abundant life anyway, and how can I, can we, have it?” – it was because our day-in, all-night, and day-out reality was operating at warp speed. We were the warp-speed-Shultz’s. I am being undone all over again…

Week 23
6.3.13-6.9.13 continued from week 22… Up until this point I hadn’t shared with Ryan, or any others, how I had been invited into this time and now that I have come through it *this unbelievable gift of conversation with Jesus* I was even more hesitant to share. Jesus knew I would need “signs” to let…

Week 22
5.27.13-6.2.13 continued from week 21… Friend, have you ever had a time of communion and conversation similar? What would your response be of a time like this? I honestly struggle to pen known words of what this time did for me and my ability to live. I don’t really know why I am sharing my…
