On this blog, YOU are invited to a life of true significance.  A life lived fully connected UP to God, IN to personal wholeness, and OUT to a love for our neighbors, locally and globally.

The love of God moves me: UP, IN, OUT

UP: to receive His affection and to love Him back (the simplicity of worship and knowing God as His child),

IN: to be transformed (to be changed for the better as I learn to see myself as He sees me and to have healed and whole relationships)

OUT: to love others with greater purpose (to seek justice, to care for the poor and to get my inwardly-focused self out of the front door and engage my neighbors with this love).

In living the UP, IN and OUT life, we will leave a mark on this world; we will be influencers, people of eternal significance, who partner with God to bring global healing through the resurrection power of Jesus.

Most days, as a stay at home mom of three kids under four, I find it difficult to keep this three-pronged connection going.  This blog is my humble attempt to present reflections that promote this UP, IN and OUT way of living.

These categories will be updated on a weekly basis so whether you need to “connect” UP, IN or OUT, feel free to take a few minutes and browse the posts under that category. Simply click on the “Up, In, Out”  tab on the top menu, take your pick, and enjoy!  This is a place to share life and remember who we are, where we’ve come from and where we’re going as people who are loved by our Maker and called to significance within our families, our local and our global community.

May God to use these words to inspire you towards a life of significance!
