When I started this blog several months ago, I did it because God told me too. It felt like something important was happening in my life, and I needed to write about it. I can't journal in the traditional paper and pen kind of way. I've tried many times. But I quit. Every. Time. So… Continue reading Who He is today

Taking a time out
Yesterday was Sunday. It was a busy Sunday. I think that's how Sunday's tend to be if you're involved in your church. At the end of Sunday (well, let's be real...in the middle of Sunday) I realized I was tired in all the ways. My body was tired of course. (I mean I had a… Continue reading Taking a time out
The thing about forgiveness
There's a funny thing about forgiveness. People think it has to do with the forgiven. Like I can't forgive someone because they aren't sorry or because they did what they did intentionally or whatever the reason. Friends, look up the definition of forgiveness. (You can google it if Webster doesn't live at your house). It… Continue reading The thing about forgiveness
Mine isn’t better, but it’s still good
I have a lot of really talented friends. Like really talented, y'all. One of my friends is an amazing singer. She was a vocal major in college. She teaches music. She sang amazing solos in church when I was growing up. I sing. I even sing well. I'm not an amazing singer though. Growing up… Continue reading Mine isn’t better, but it’s still good
Addendum to last post
Lol. I dunno but it's my blog so I can. After I posted I was looking at some flowers. They are pretty, and weird, and made me think of something I wanted to share. These flowers have intrigued me for about 3 days. They randomly showed up one night when I got home from work… Continue reading Addendum to last post
Follow the plan
Timehop is a fun app for iPhone that lets you look back and be reminded of things you posted about. Sometimes it's interesting to see what journeys you've gone through. The last couple of weeks have been full of things (from 7 years ago) about hospitals, operations and cancer. Not the most awesome memories. 7… Continue reading Follow the plan
Excellence not perfection
I've realized something about myself recently, or God has brought it to my attention. I'm not good with grace. I mean I'm pretty good extending grace to others. I forgive other people's mistakes pretty easily. Sure I get annoyed or upset with people sometimes (because that's human) but it doesn't take much for me to… Continue reading Excellence not perfection
Play hard, love well
Does anyone get caught up in the path to perfection? So many times I have thought, "if I can't be the best I might as well give up." It's my natural tendency. If someone is better than me, I don't want to try. Like sometimes I literally get mad at the person who is better… Continue reading Play hard, love well
Be brave while waiting
I've always been one to shy away from change too much. I like control. If life brings change, you lose some control for a while as you figure out the change. But if you always stay in one place you can never grow or change. I'm reading 100 Days to Brave by Annie F Downs… Continue reading Be brave while waiting
And so it begins
I had my final post op appointment today, and I got cleared to return to work Friday. I was looking forward to that but now that it's here I have mixed feelings. I thought I would be excited but I'm a little apprehensive that I won't be able to hang with the chaos or I… Continue reading And so it begins
