I Cannot Deny that He is Present
I start off my day with an alarm clock chirping to warn me of the impending workday. It’s not just any workday, however; it’s Saturday. I roll over in an attempt to ignore my alarm clock and realize that sometime between going to bed and waking up, I’ve been joined by my handsome husband. The…

Mourning Utilities with a Happy Heart.
Here’s the countdown, if you can believe it: I am 10 days away from marrying my best friend. At this point, I’ve surpassed the wedding jitters and just want to get on with the show, okay?! Next Saturday feels like miles away and we cannot wait to be married to each other! It’s great, preparing…

Aging: A Series
I’ve decided that I might like to write a series on aging. Yes, I realize that statement might leave you wondering exactly what qualifies me for such a series at 24 years-old. However, if you are sitting at your desk wondering that same thought, I have already considered your doubt and would, therefore, like to…

The Girls
Life has a funny way of bringing us full-circle sometimes. When I started college, I imagined graduating with that close group of girls that meet up year after year and grow old together, share life’s joys and sorrows. I spent four or five years searching for the right group. I was always out, always busy…

Go ahead. Lose yourself in love.
Remember when I used to blog? Yeah, neither do I… The truth is, I’ve been so terribly busy these days that I just can’t seem to find the time! Those people who blog all of their wedding plans, I’m convinced they’re jobless. Or not planning their wedding. Or much more efficient than I. Regardless, they’ve…

Enjoy Living in the Now. Act Spontaneously. Embrace the Unknown. Love His plan. It’s only April but this year has kept me running from day one (not in the marathon or even 5-k sense of the word, but you get my drift). As proof of constant movement, I am very happy to announce that I have…

She's a Simple Girl.
I think that I’m simple. In fact, I think that I was raised to be simple. By saying that, I mean to say that I was raised to appreciate what I have over what I want, to be gracious in my circumstances, to take pride in living debt free, yada yada: Simple. I wonder when…

Are you avoiding me?
Confession: I avoid things. They can be important things, trivial things, easy things, hard things, or random things. Then I go out of my way to avoid these things with such fervor that I find myself running into walls because I’m too busy looking over my shoulder for the consequences to catch up. Anyway, I’m not…

Cold Tangerines
I have to share: I am currently reading Cold Tangerines: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life by Shauna Niequist. I picked up this book after the pastor at Ada Bible suggested it during one Sunday several weeks ago. Well to be fair, I really picked it up at Barnes & Noble shortly thereafter when I…

Reflection Questions for 2010
It’s that time of year again; it’s time to reflect on 2010 and begin planning for 2011, to think up what resolutions I will drop and which I will keep and to evaluate which have already been completed. The end of the year is always a time of reflection and this year, I have much…
