For whatever reason, I’ve never been one to have a favorite Bible verse. I’ve always been drawn to Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God,” but that’s more because it’s a constant reminder that I need moreso than that I just love it so much. However, I think that is rapidly changing. [...]

How I Basically Fail at Everything I Try to Do
I’m not quite sure what came over me, but about a month ago I decided I would do the 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge. I’ll be honest: most days I would rate myself a good wife, definitely not great, and there is most certainly room for improvement, so why not give this challenge a go? It [...]

Mmmmmteenybop
Well, I’m eight weeks into my Middle School teaching career, and I just adore these kids to death! I love them for so many reasons, but one thing that makes them fun to be around is that they bring back so many blissful memories of this horribly awkward age for myself. A few months ago [...]

The Quest
The quest. It’s the thing of legends and myths, around which many an epic tale has been crafted. The valiant young hero goes in search of something seemingly unattainable, only to actually attain it. He then becomes the recipient of riches, a beautiful maiden…you know how it goes. Have you ever been on a quest? [...]

Trapped in Prague: A Detailed Description of the Worst Weekend of My Life
I am crazy busy this week, as it is the first week back to school, so I thought that since my post about The Cocoon might have made someone actually want to hear about this horrible trip to Prague, I would just post the journal entry I wrote back in 2005 after the horrific experience. [...]

Post-Alaska Musings

That’s When I Went All Emo and Stuff…
Katie’s post put me up to this, so you have no one but her to blame, but I think this is a great topic, and one about which I can go on all day. In the summer of 2003, I became an unashamed emo fan. Why? Because I was angry and heartbroken…why else? Soundtrack for [...]

Admitting is the First Step to Recovery
I think it’s time I admit that I have a problem, an addicition. I guess it all started in college. Small-town girl gets to the big city, you know how it goes. I started using it at first because I thought I “had to” in order to survive college life, then it gradually turned into [...]

The Desires of My Heart
The messages I have heard in Chapel the past three days have all dealt with a similar topic: God and our desires. I will unashamedly admit that there are some days in my school’s daily Chapel service that I completely zone out, or other days that I just get preoccupied with making sure that my [...]
