Lent: Day 13; Beautiful things.

Pretend to go back with me, if you will, to when the earth was newly created. But before man was. Just the earth and heavens. In the beginning, God created: the earth the water the land the sky the m...

Lent, Day 12: The day I called 9-1-1 about my car.

Do you know one of those people who have stories and at the end of them, someone kind of laughs and says “that WOULD happen to you, of all people.“? I am one of those people. Here’s...

Lent: Days 6-11.

I’ve been reading my Bible a lot {more than I usually do…}. Right now I’m in 1 Kings, and I feel like I am meeting God for the first time in my life. Hear me out. I spend a lot of t...

You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body. ~C.S. Lewis.

I don’t like to get out of the shower with my hair wet and water dripping to the floor, so I will frequently turn off the water and sit quietly in the shower, thinking. Sometimes I will take th...

Lent: Day 5 – The day I cut my hair off.

The first Sunday of Lent. A day to reflect on Christ’s time in the desert. I read this devotional about it with this picture included, and I absolutely loved this picture. I think it’s su...

Lent, Day 4: The day I accidentally went to Facebook.

This is my today. I never went to Starbucks for my iced coffee. Instead I made a burrito, went to a soccer game {in which my only valuable advice was “brush your teeth every night before bed!&#...

Lent: Days 2 & 3.

I’ve had the opportunity and time to sit down and write the past two days but have chosen not to. It’s good to rest. On Thursday, I went to Liturgical Chapel with Hannah. At one point, th...

Lent: Day 1.

I love the Lenten season. Maybe because I love Easter, but not how I love Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday: it’s pink, sparkly, lovey, hearty, glittery…...

March 7th, 2011

Today I am having a quiet, meditative day. A few weeks ago one of the cadets preached about praying without ceasing and how that means including God all throughout your day. I see it as a seamless we...

Technically March 5th, 2011.

Matters of the heart. It’s overwhelming. It’s overwhelming me. It’s overwhelming my friends. My friends are starting to realize how invested I’ve been allowing myself to get w...

February 27th, 2011.

Almost Lent. This year, I am going to remind myself that God not only loves cheerful givers but also cheerful giver uppers. So as I take my 40 days without Facebook or a coffee beverage over the size...

never gonna find the perfect rhyme.

A few years ago I was really great at writing. We’re talking 2004-2006ish. I had these notebooks that I would write in, and I’d just write whatever came to mind. Usually they were questio...

A good rule, but not the golden one.

You know that rule that says “if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”? That’s why I haven’t been updating my blog regularly. I have...

Well, here it is.

Do you know why I haven’t been writing anything? Because everything I want to write is whiny. I can’t figure out how to be honest without being obnoxious or depressing. There’s noth...

The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible, NKJV.

When I opened the front cover of my newly acquired Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible, I knew I was going to like it. On the inside dust jacket flap is a little something written by Max Lucado reflectin...

Similar, but not the same.

Basically I can’t stop thinking about how having poor self-esteem is not the same as being insecure. Stepping on sidewalk cracks makes me insecure, but it doesn’t change a think about me....

Adam and Eden.

This morning I didn’t go to church, so I just spent some quiet time with God. Then I started playing the keyboard and I was singing this song, Eden, by Phil Wickham. So I started thinking about...

Lord, prepare me.

Last week I read this quote by A. W. Tozer that said Christians don’t tell lies, we just go to church and sing them. Ouch. convicting, right? So I was thinking about this song I’ve been l...

come January, we’re frozen inside making new resolutions a hundred times…

Emily has started a blog. A non-365 blog, which is weird because she’s been doing 365 for two years. In an e-mail she asked me what she should blog about. I haven’t responded yet, but I d...

“Change of Plans” Review.

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” Isn’t it strange to think that as we are going about our lives, dreaming and pursuing our dreams, we are forfeiting...

TWOsday #3.

Yesterday was a travel day. I flew in to Oakland, where Stacy picked me up, packed me a little lunch, and then I was on my way. Almost at the last minute {okay, 2 hours out} I called up Katie to see ...

Clear vision.

Welcome to 2011. If there had been some sort of welcome committee, I would have signed up to be on it but I heard nothing of the sort. It’s the time of year when everyone is incredibly optimist...
