Friday's Challenge on Posted by Rebekah

Every Friday @ 12:30pm (CST), you can hear a weekly challenge from me on Faith Music Radio.  My podcast is called Posted by Rebekah. You can listen online HERE or download the free app for your smartphone.  I would love for you to join us, listen and take the challenge!
Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk. 

Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)

One time, I was at work...I took out my contacts and put them in their case.  Well, it was very dim lighting and I didn't realize that one of the contacts didn't make it into the case.  The next morning, I went to put it in and it wasn't there.  Thankfully, I was able to find it on the carpet in the place where I had taken them out.


Dried up...shriveled.  So, I put it in the case with contact solution and in just a little bit, it was restored back to its normal state.

Is that you this morning?  Do you feel dried up?  Do you need renewed?  

I admit.  I remember back in March-May of this year - My schedule and circumstances had taken a toll on me during those seven weeks.  A combination of living in a hotel...my home being in disarray...a different daily schedule...working 36 hours overnight weekly...daily demands...it all dried up my spirit.  
Everything around me was taking the moisture from my spirit and I was slowly drying up.

Don't let things suck the life giving moisture from your spirit!  You need renewal every day to keep your spirit refreshed.

The first thing I try to do every morning...coffee and my devotions.  Give yourself the water of life.  
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

Have your circumstances dried you up?  Have you stopped watering your soul?  Renew your soul starting today.

And that’s today’s challenge!  
Renew your soul today by doing these five simple things…

1.  Read your Bible.
2.  Make a small to do list of 5 things to accomplish today.
3.  Do something for someone.  
4.  Do something for 15 minutes you enjoy.
5.  Make a list of 10 things that are your current favorite things.  

Will you take the challenge?

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
