This morning I woke up and spent time with Jesus. I had to. Because bad memories that I can normally suppress during the day find themselves in my dreams. They surface in my sleep. So I had to go to Jesus. I really wish I was more consistent with meeting Him in the morning. You… Continue reading Morning Prayer

A Glimpse Into My Day
I leave class 30 minutes early because I finished my practice tax return in record time. The CPA teaching the class is impressed. I’m just grateful. Seeing as how I registered a month late for the class, I’m totally relying on Jesus for me to get up to speed on the material. As usual He’s… Continue reading A Glimpse Into My Day
It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye
The first time I had to say goodbye was the hardest. Only b/c of the circumstances. I was caught off guard and in shock and I didn’t know what hit me. I prolonged the goodbye and made it last a year. It was that hard to let go. Just when I thought I was done… Continue reading It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye
The Pursuit of Happiness
Life is interesting these days. You pray and pray and pray for work and then it comes and then you pray for rest. Or better yet you pray, “Lord, help me get through this week!” We are never satisfied :-). Good news is I have grown in more confidence with this calling I feel in… Continue reading The Pursuit of Happiness
A Woman’s Worth
When i was 17 years old I gave away something very precious to a boy who wasn’t worth it. He never took me on a date. He never met my family. I never even received a bouquet of flowers. Still, I called him my boyfriend. I was so desperate to be loved that I gave… Continue reading A Woman’s Worth
The Unadulterated Truth
It’s so easy to glamorize the highlights of life. You know. The milestones. The celebrations. The good times. Take my life for example. I have a really stellar social life. It’s ridiculous really. Every weekend there is something to do and someone to hang with. I’m often overwhelmed with the pull I feel to spread… Continue reading The Unadulterated Truth
My Thoughts on Miley: Wrecking Ball
I am listening to a popular song by a popular girl who is more known for her outrageous behavior rather than her stellar vocals. I listen to her song and intentionally never watched its corresponding video because I did not want judgment and criticism to taint my vision of who she really is. And how… Continue reading My Thoughts on Miley: Wrecking Ball
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
So this month marks my 2 year anniversary with this little blog :-). It was definitely NOT love at first sight, I’ll tell you that much! Being a “writer” was never on my agenda. Though always an avid reader, I never intentionally pursued writing. I imagined that maybe “one day” I’d come out with a… Continue reading HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
My Perfect Life
I’m sitting in one of my two favorite spots for “me time”. The chair. The overstuffed, enlarged, papa san chair. Drinking the first round of hot tea with my warm fleece draped over my lap. Perfect. I look through the open doorway of my bedroom, to the living room. Clean. Everything is clean. Selah. Nothing… Continue reading My Perfect Life
Daughters of the King
I walk up to the front porch after no one answered my call through the back window. I always forget my voice is kind of soft and when I think others should hear me they don’t. So maybe that was the reason. Either way, I’m at the front and she opens the door. The brown… Continue reading Daughters of the King
