Living life, loving god, loving people & lessons learned along the way.
Author Archives: Jim Baker Proverbs 20:4 Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing. Can’t you almost sense the hope turned into disappointment in this #proverb The foolish sluggard is hoping for a miracle, maybe this time God will bless me or I’ll be lucky. And then they get to the […]  Don’t give up. A few people commented on this one line in one of our recent email updates so I thought I’d share it here in graphic form. Persevere. People care. You matter. You were created with a purpose that the world NEEDS. Let’s stay after it today. I don’t know what you’re facing today. […]  Eh… we should probably just follow the light. Saw this coming home from taking our friends Mark and Jeanette around the island. We are so grateful for their friendship and visit. I’ve known Mark since 2003. We have literally travelled the world together. Asia, Eastern Europe, Central America. We bond over food and good conversation. Over […]  KoOlina is literally one of my favorite places on earth. And God has blessed me with being able to stay there quite a few times. Which is ridiculous because it’s not somewhere I can afford. My second time visiting Oahu was in 2010.

So we need to prepare to do hard things in not great circumstances if we want to be […]  Click here to watch the promo video for Jess’ school. Proud husband moment. My wife is a rockstar. She’s teaching this week in Dalton GA traveling alone with our almost 3 month old to teach a week long overview of the prophets (both major and minor, my weakest area of knowledge in the Bible) at The […] A video update Thank you everyone! In response to last months update: CRUCIBLE February Update Video from Jim and Jess Baker on Vimeo.  This is my favorite photo I’ve ever taken. Jess and I led a parent student missions trip for @praisefellowship in 2010 when I was an associate pastor there. We partnered with #Okindakids I recorded a Facebook live this morning and talked about “Empathy before Advice” I think short term missions helps you grow in this. When […]  Don’t get stuck in #inaction. I spent over an hour today trying to make a decision on what to do tonight. I spent way to much #emotionalenergy trying to make the best and right decision. I still haven’t fully come to a conclusion but at least the ball is rolling and I’m not spiraling out stuck in #thinking and #feeling. I […]  We have a #choice in the trajectory of our #feelings. I don’t think I realized until recently. Feelings aren’t as powerful as I thought or felt. How do you want to feel? Full of joy and full of life and ambition? That sounds nice. Do you not feel that way right now? Do you feel the exact opposite? […] |
