Picture of Good and Evil

December 16, 2009

Yes that's me stuck between Darth Vader and Jesus. Just your typical Saturday night.

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm Becky Kiser. I'm a wife, mom to 3 girls, writer, speaker, and founder of Sacred Holidays. I love Jesus and desire to see women follow Him more fully as we go hard after Him and what He has called us to.

Goodbye old floors!

Y'all, I just shot a promo video that will be sent out to publishers the week after next!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!! Every single emoticon for this post, my friends!!! 😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😀🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😂 This is happening!
▫️
If you can now or think of it later, will your pray for this process? I know fully and firmly that if God wants this to happen it will happen with the very publisher He desires for it to happen with. Even so, He tells us to ask and believe. So I'm asking you to ask for and with me. Pray that the right publisher says yes. Pray for discernment for myself and my agents if there are multiple publishers interested. And pray for me to trust, it's literally all out of my hands now. 🙌🏻❤️

Sick days are hard days but they have some real perks like all the snuggles. And this moment when they were all piled in my lap and I look down to see that they were all holding hands. ❤️
▫️
Between the fussing and fighting and teaching and training, you can forget that along the way they are soaking up the good too. And the brainwashing that they are best friends always and forever might one day pay off. 🤞🏻🙏🏼😂 #thekisergirls

I know teachers aren't supposed to have favorites, but I do. I LOVE teaching women in prison. Was so fun to introduce some of my @churchproject family to prison ministry today. I love watching my people love these women. ❤️ #charmprisonministry #prisonministry

Who wants to share your fave to help us choose what to paint what? Comment 👇🏻
▫️
Since we are getting new lighter wood floors next week (thank you leak and insurance company ❤️), @cjkiser said I could paint a few things on my wish list to paint. 👍🏻
▫️
What color do you like best for the kitchen island? All upper and lower Cabinets will stay white, I'm just painting the island.
▫️
Also I'm gonna do an small accent wall in the breakfast nook (not pictured). Should I do it the same color as the island or should it pop lighter or darker or a totally different color than any of the samples? Currently walls in that room are beige.
▫️
The hutch is in our living room and the couches are dark brown leather, so since we are adding wood floors in that room, I wanted a fun pop of color not more brown. 😂
▫️
Pulled these colors from the dining room chairs (last pic). I wouldn't say I have a color scheme downstairs but these are my fave colors plus black, white and grey and lots of patterns. So I tend to buy things in these shades. 💙💚🖤
▫️
OK let me know your thoughts! 👇🏻 Thank you!! 😘

I know the lure of the newsfeed. Trying to wake sleepy eyes and foggy head, we swipe up and up until what we thought would be a minute or two becomes 20.
▫️
I've been awake since 3:30am for no reason other than I needed to get up and experience some silence (after I scrolled this feed trying to fall back asleep when lying there didn't work 😂). So I say this 100% as a hypocrite but also from a place of knowing. I didn't want to get up either (and certainly not at that hour when the alarm still had a few more left.)
▫️
You are meant for more than mindless scrolling. Get up.
▫️
Those 10 minutes you were gonna spend scrolling up and pausing to click the ❤️ button a few times aren't harmful but there is something better. Spend that time instead by opening up God's Word. Pick up where you last left off, open up the Psalms, start reading one of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) or join @sacredholidays on the #readthebiblein90days challenge. Pause to talk to God-- tell Him how awesome He is, tell Him you are sorry for any way you've wronged Him or others, pray for others, surrender yourself and your day to Him. Stop to listen and hear what the Spirit wants to say back.
▫️
Spending time with God is like any other relationship-- it takes effort but it's always, always worth it. And we gotta show up. We can't survive off of old "bread" we received. As we've been reading through the Old Testament with #sacredholidays I've been reminded how God provides new manna (bread) each day for the Israelites. We must keep filling ourselves up on Him.
▫️
"The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Meaning there is no other god.) You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words... shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children (or any under your influence), and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise." Deuteronomy 6:4-7

It's swim lesson week and we get to host this year again! We REALLY love Ms Glendy, our swim teacher. ❤️ We started taking infant survival classes when Karis was 1 1/2. Each summer it's been our constant. She's truly a life saver. We will never know how many lives she has saved because of the countless hours she's spent teaching kids how to respect and love the water. I know the videos some people post of this method can seem crazy scary and even neglectful. And maybe some instructors are, but Ms Glendy isn't like that at all. All of our girls could float on their back and kick to the edge to hold on by the time they were 1 1/2, no matter how they fell into the pool. And they love the water as much, if not more, than their mama. ❤️ I'll post some videos in my Insta stories this week if you want to check it out. 👍🏻
