Last month I wrote about going “all in” with God. This month I want to tell you what going “all in” has looked like for us over the last several weeks. The week of my birthday, two life changing things happened in the Walters household. Brian, my seminary graduate husband, was offered a job in…

This Year I Am Going ALL IN
Today is my birthday. Today I am 34 years old. I really don’t feel 34. I feel somewhere between 28 and 30, honestly. But alas, one cannot change one’s age or turn back the wheels of time, so I am willingly settling into my mid thirties today with quiet confidence that this is going to…
May It No Be So For You and Me
A couple of things that have been stirring in my soul lately… Wondering why the buildings and architecture and cathedrals of Italy and Paris were so beautifully moving and why we do not attempt the same kind of ornate beauty today. Wondering who my teachers are? My teachers are old, many of them are dead. …
Thirteen Years of Passion
In 1998, while a college student at Union University, I traveled to Texas with a group of about 200 other Union students to attend Passion 98. This was a gathering of college students over New Years who wanted to learn more about God and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Alot of my friends…
Romancing the Rome – Ancient Rome – The Eternal City
I am sure I am going to write UNLIMITED posts about Rome. I Love Rome. End of blog. Rome was my favorite city. The food, the city, the people, the atmosphere, the ANCIENTNESS of it all (is that a word?). Rome is the most inspiring city I have ever visited. I can’t really bring myself…
A Teaser – Flash Mob Notre Dame October 9, 2010
I am so anxious to get some blogs going about our trip. However, we hit a minor MAJOR snag when we returned to a broken MAC desktop. I can’t fully talk about it until I know exactly the prognosis but it does not look good. I am now a cautionary tale: BACK UP YOUR JANK…
Yall Ever Rode on the Metro? Classic!
For my non-DC friends, this may not be as funny as it will be to my DC friends. But there is this guy in town who has been making rap videos about areas around DC for the past several years. He raps about alot of other stuff too but the ones he does about local…
Permission to Speak Freely {Book Review}
It has been a while since I have submitted a book review for all of you here on My Living Canvas. This is not from lack of reading, just lack of having the discipline to sit down and pound out a review! So I am pleased to make a book review comeback with my review…
Stepping Heavenward, Cupcake Wars and the Next Food Network Star
So my silence pays tribute to these three… Stepping Heavenward, Cupcake Wars, and the Next Food Network Star. What can I say? Summertime has come upon me, a time when I only think of reading pool-side and fine dining table-side. I am embarrassed to say that I was unaware of Cupcake Wars until watching the…
Kids Rapping about Jesus
Our church has a ministry called DayBreak that works with children in Southeast Washington, DC providing tutoring, mentoring and other development opportunities for children in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. One of their recent activities included writing rap songs about Jesus. I think this is just awesome. What praise! I love it. I hope you do,…
