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
What if…
I grew up hearing, if you are worried about something, give it to God. If you want something, ask God. God has plans for you. I want to be perfectly honest and admit I had/have plans for me too. What if God's plan for my life is different than my plan for my life? What… Continue reading What if…
Struggle
I am gonna be perfectly honest. This week has been a struggle. I don't even know why. Sometimes I think maybe it's the busyness of life that just starts to be too much. Sometimes I just need a time out, but there's no time for time outs. It's hard in a season where you're supposed… Continue reading Struggle
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
Grace
When I was younger, I gauged some self worth based on how other people felt about me. Even as I got older, I still found it really difficult when it seemed like someone didn't like me. I took it as a personal offense and tried to figure out how to make them like me. The… Continue reading Grace
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
