There’s a scene in Home Alone where the camera zooms into Macaulay Culkin wearing fatigues and holding a large BB gun as he says, “This is it. Don’t get scared now.” I stinkin’ LOVE that scene because it’s a eight year-old boy going to battle with two convicted felons to save his home. He has a battle plan, strategy, and even says a prayer over his microwavable meal before the clock chimes to indicate that the war is about to begin.
Well, that’s kinda how I feel. No I’m not eight, I’m not protecting my home from robbery, and I will never eat a microwavable dinner, but tonight I’ll be metaphorically wearing fatigues, holding a BB gun, saying a prayer, and quoting to myself, “This is it. Don’t get scared now.”
As a reminder, I’ll be starting the Seven Deadly Sins series tonight. We all know that Jon and Kate are divorced, Jillian had to let go of two bachelors, and the Desperate Housewives of New Jersey are really desperate, so fill yo’ mind with some J-E-S-U-S! We’ll be webcasting live, starting at 6:50PM. Click here to watch!
Bianca, it was awesome, I know you had a full house, but for awhile, i felt like it was only me there in that room and you were describing me and asking me to let God clean that secret room… I was so scared because I was being exposed not just to God but to myself too, also ashamed of me because I know I have to decide whether to follow God or my desires, that I just begin crying…I have a problem which is trusting people and that is keeping me for going with the prayer team, I am scared to talk because I have trusted before and I was humiliated instead.. but your studies have become a wake up call to me…
B,
One word….
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Or Five.
B, ah, I love you… thanks for being so open and honest with how you feel. BUT you’re a pro… IN JESUS of course! You don’t have to be scared! Oh, and don’t worry, you’ll have many in the seats watching with joy and suspence as you torch the scalps of evil and tar and feather His lies (love this movie…a Christmas classic!). I’ll be praying for you today. Can’t wait for tonight! Nay.
We’ll be there chearing you on in the crowd! Thanks for webcasting it too! Now the bestest MIL in the world won’t miss it, since she was cool enough to offer to watch all the kiddos.

Hi Bianca,
Really looking forward to watching this!
There’s no need to be scared. Remember…
“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.”
Ephesians 3:20-21 (The Message)

yay! I’m so excited. I will be watching…
Rockstar….
There wasn’t any sound. It was on at first, but then when you told the sound person that the volume was too loud, whatever he did, it turned off right at that point.
I was really looking forward to it.
Oh well, at least your arms were looking pretty buffed!
First I LOVE Home Alone…that and Elf are my fav Christmas movies. I’m such a kid….lol
Second good luck tonight, I’ll be praying for you. I hope I’m able to awake and watch 🙂 I really don’t want to miss it!
I’M SO SORRY!!!!! I don’t know WHAT happened last night, but everyone said that the audio failed like in the first ten minutes and the video stream was in delay 🙁 IT said they’ll work on it for next week!
PS I gave a shout out to Christa in Canada, Nayi in Jersey, NCIC in Palm Springs, Apple in the Philippines, Kate, Tish in New Mexico… and no one heard it 🙁 Lord willing, it’ll work next week.
For those that were here yesterday, wasn’t it totally awesome to see over 400 women come out to worship and learn?! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I can’t wait for next week 🙂
I was really looking forward to hooking up and watching via the world wide interweb 🙂
Bummer, I couldn’t get quick time to load. I mean I have quick time, but it would load the webcast.
You will have to give a quickie here. . . if I beg and say pu pu puLEASE really nice like?!
If not, I still get tons of upliftment (man my spell check is going crazy with my made up words. . . bad habit!) with you everyday posts. Love ya! Thank you for what you do!
You’ll do just fine. Don’t you always? Remember… WWSD?
I was going to take you up on your offer and actually attend in person. But with all that estrogen being concentrated in one room, that can’t be good for any man.
So in lieu of actually being there, I’m going to check you out on the webcast. It will be an honor to be the only man in your study.
I can’t wait to find out first hand what goes on in those Venusian brains. I will be taking copious notes.
ha ha ha I think B’s holding and pointing the gun at US and telling us not to get scared. B’s not scared. =) SHE IS GI Jane of the Word!
My fav part is when he says “Get ur keester of my property you filthy animal!” Or was that the Western going on in the background of the movie? LOL
I can’t wait!!!
I thought the study starts at 7pm? What time does it start?
I’m assuming that is 6:50 pacific time?
Loved your posts about the God of all comfort, as well as the one on jealousy. Just had a bad run with that, and it really took me by surprise!
Passed your blog on to my church’s Women’s Ministry…would love to have you come talk to us!
@Lindsay: I’m glad you’ll be checking in from England! How cool is the internet!!!
@Anonymous: Um… thanks? I’m charmed you find me funny, but I really hope you check it out for the time of worship and study. ‘Cause really, I’m not funny in real life. Just ask my family.
@Nayi: Jersey represent!!! Thanks for representin’ the east coast. But you know west coast is the best coast 🙂
