Save it for now…

I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever done a post on food before. However, this post on 22 Words cracked me up because I relate to it so much. In college, I’d make mac and cheese or Ramen noodles (when I wasn’t making my gourmet dish of pitas and hummus ). [...]

Cheesy friendship songs

Tomorrow I’m saying goodbye to two of my best friends - one of them for a few weeks, one of them for months or years. Yesterday we were sitting around listening to songs about friendship, like “Every Moment” by Joy Williams and “More Than You’ll Ever Know” by Watermark, oh, and “Follow Love” by FFH [...]

It’s summer…

…and my brain thinks it’s on vacation. That pesky writer’s block is still hanging on. My little introspective self has been too busy enjoying life and spending time with people to write. Imagine that! It’s a good thing, but not so good for the blogging.
I was thinking about this entry, written in the doldrums of winter, [...]

Run? Who, me?

Let’s just clarify something from the get-go - I do not look as cool as that woman does before I start to run. Or during. Or after.
All right, so I’ve been trying to run lately. I think calling it jogging would be more appropriate. What motivated me to do this? Well, I’ve been wanting to [...]

Living at home after college…

…is, I must admit, a little strange.
I just spent the last four years getting used to being on my own. I started out as a nervous freshman in a tiny dorm room, but eventually I got to know people, got my own car, moved into an apartment with my friends, and enjoyed the independence.
And now [...]

The other day, I caught a firefly

So summer is officially here.

Today.

The phrase “one day at a time” has been my mantra for the past few weeks. There have been so many things going on, and it’s easy to be overwhelmed. Instead, I’ve been focusing on a very freeing truth - that God will give grace when the time is right. Jesus told us not to [...]

Wisdom in Decision-Making

It seems like it would be nice if I could make this a simple how-to post. Here are steps one, two, and three for how to make wise decisions about things that are more important than what color paint to use. There you go! But I read about a much more powerful way:
“If any of [...]

A Snake Story

There was a little adventure at our house the night before we left for the conference. Kayla has chronicled it as only she could in Suburbs Gone Wild.

Can I just say…

New Attitude is amazing. Tonight’s session in particular was a huge gift of God. I’m humbled and amazed and joyful. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my notes on here.
Louisville is a beautiful city! Today Sarah and I drove around for awhile, and we saw some gorgeous homes and the campuses of Southern Baptist [...]
