Women in the Word @Exemplify

I anticipated April for many reasons. Only one, of which, was the flip flops and t-shirts. There is something else, though…

As many of you know, I just love the Exemplify Online team. I have written for Exemplify’s Devotional Channel for several months (I am bad with time, so probably longer). This is the channel that I always write about, but there are several other channels to meet every need imaginable, such as a Family, Marriage, Singles, and a Ministry channel.

This month has brought a new relationship, as I was invited to join the Exemplify Magazine team. This ministry has a thirst and hunger for glorifying the King. It ministers to me much more than I contribute to it, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

While this month’s column was a testimony/introduction to my presence on the team, the April theme of the magazine is worship, and that is exactly what it does. It worships His name.

Without further delay…

I can’t really explain how it happened, but somewhere along the way I lost my life.

It was not the same scenario as losing my keys, or setting down my tea cup and forgetting where I put it. I do things like that all of the time. I did not forget the location of my life. I just lost it.

When this lost life began, it could be said that I was off to a good start. My family encouraged me to know the Lord, and the church body knew every move that I made. In fact, I was in church every time the key turned.

In response, it became irresistible for me to know something else. Rebellion was a sash that I wore as if I had won its pageant.

About Tracy

I am curious by nature and crazy about my husband and our toddling boy. I look for Jesus in the ordinary, add in scripture and wait to see what happens. Consider yourself invited.

    Wow.Wow.Wow.Wow. Tracy. This is beautifully written and I felt myself saying "Me too, me too!" This is the mark of a good writer – when someone says they identify with you or "you put into words exactly how I felt" I know I have hit the mark and sister, you so did.
    I'm so thrilled you are writing for Exemplify – I just discovered it a few months ago and I'm loving it. I will look forward to reading it each month, especially now you are in it!

    Love that you were Panhell president…We do have so many similarities! I love it.

Please, leave me some of your words.
