HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little blog!!! It has been one year this month that I started blogging and words can’t express how amazed I am at the fruit that has come from this site. BUT since it IS a BLOG, I will just have to TRY to use words :-). In all honesty I originally had NO intention of… Continue reading Happy Birthday Blog!
Something Like an Astronaut
For years now I have struggled with the teaching and format of my spiritual covering (am I alone in this?). I love my pastors. Love my spiritual family. But the WAY and the FUNCTION of this little group has consistently challenged me and taken me way out of my comfort zone. Every time I tried to leave God told… Continue reading Something Like an Astronaut
Marriage at Its Finest
Saturday evening I was wandering aimlessly as my day’s plans had changed and I suddenly found myself with too much time on my hands (I know, I know, poor me). I was trying not to give in to temptation so prior to the cinema starting I made a last ditch effort and texted a friend… Continue reading Marriage at Its Finest
A Long Way Home
Four years ago I couldn’t have imagined that I would become entangled in this way. Not with him that is…And every meeting pushes me further and further away from my goal which is Christ. To live for Him, to surrender to His will, to walk with Him. Instead my spiritual compass is sporadically pointing in every direction and much… Continue reading A Long Way Home
The Fight of My Life
When I look back on my testimony with Christ I struggle with the messiness of it all. There was no perfect Christian home to serve as the foundation of my faith (I mean really is there ever?). There was not even an ideal 2-parent family setup with a Cosby-like appeal. Instead there was struggle and darkness and well meaning… Continue reading The Fight of My Life
Still Growing Up
For the first time today I admitted to myself, I don’t have it all together (you have no idea how much it freaks me out to admit this). My plan isn’t working. My future is not revealed. I’m 30 and still wondering. And that’s ok… But not really. Not for a type A planner, go-getter, ambitious, goal-oriented… Continue reading Still Growing Up
What I Like About Fall
Tis a new season! The long awaited breeze of Fall is here. The sky is overcast and surprisingly I couldn’t be happier. To celebrate this new, yet familiar season I am eagerly sporting my colored tights, boots and layers of shirts, scarf and jacket. For most of my life I only saw the beauty in Summer. To bake in… Continue reading What I Like About Fall
To My Friend on Her Wedding Day
Dear Tierra, I can’t really remember how we met although I know it was through a mutual friend. I definitely remember when I first saw you I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. You were beautiful. I wondered “wow, that girl is so pretty”. But it wasn’t until we did Amy’s book club and we were… Continue reading To My Friend on Her Wedding Day
A Word in Due Season
Yesterday at fellowship I received what seemed like a 20-minute prophecy. I was very caught off guard by God’s focus on me and His words as my heart wasn’t in the best place. In fact, I almost missed them because their tone was so conversational and flowed like streams of water. Before the deliverer of the words shared… Continue reading A Word in Due Season
Musings on Settling…
I sat across from my friend of 7+ years on her comfortable, homey sofa and tried to ignore the figure sprawled out on the floor at our feet. Her boyfriend, who was intently watching some sort of cartoon (Batman maybe?) on what I assumed to be her laptop, was not even worth conversing with in my opinion.… Continue reading Musings on Settling…
