It has been over a week since I have said that I would be intentional with my writing, and it has been over a week that I have not been intentional with my writing. What I realized was, instead of writing on here, I was really needing to focus on the importance of writing in… Continue reading Oh, Writing
In regards to being born
Yes, in regards to being born 25 years ago today, I must say ... what an adventure! If life were merely a line to be traced, with Post-It notes layering all that has occurred, I think I would be surprised to find how peaceful I would feel as I ran my hands over every single… Continue reading In regards to being born
40 Days
I opened the year with a prayer, asking to be shown what it means to grow deeper with Jesus; seeking to be stretched in ways that could potentially be a little messy and a little risky. Thus far, I have sought to see the life of Jesus and the importance of what the Cross really… Continue reading 40 Days
Pieces Recommend And Why
There are few posts on the internet that truly move me. Outside the many kitten GIFs that BuzzFeed so easily provides, I have found written pieces that left my heart in a disoriented state - I was heartbroken by the situation, but joyful in their triumph. I could only imagine the type of bravery it… Continue reading Pieces Recommend And Why
Stitched Stories
Yesterday, I found myself rummaging through used suits that were once owned and adorned by men I will never know. My 'assignment' was to check for any cosmetic damage to the suit (i.e. holes, tears, missing buttons, stains), and to give it the OK to remain on the rack for another potential owner. As my… Continue reading Stitched Stories
No Matter The Cost
It can literally feel like iron sharpening iron. Yes, love can feel like this. The personalities that love takes on never mean any harm, but it can sure that way some days. There is this sense of discovering self while learning to love with these personalities of love; the molding of a heart is bound… Continue reading No Matter The Cost
Another Well
It is three in the afternoon and I'm stress-eating Twizzlers. I have swatted the head-stories for more than five hours now, attempting to calm this feeble heart and roller coaster ride in my stomach. These are days when I feel the world is against me. Because I would bet my finest linens, the eyes of… Continue reading Another Well
Now
Perhaps the past is not supposed to be seen as a graveyard, but rather as a set of steps or a seemingly endless road. If ever overcome by nostalgia - good or bad - it's not the discomfort of stumbling over and through the gravestones littered with misdeeds. Instead, maybe, that moment to recall is… Continue reading Now
Living Outside Numbered Lists
I'm a reader. I read everything from The New Yorker to East of Eden to silly BuzzFeed posts about how I'm really 35 on the inside. I like the emotional appeal from a good article just as much as I like a cute post about how this kitten fits inside of a teacup (A TEACUP!).… Continue reading Living Outside Numbered Lists
What I read in 2013
Thirst by Mary Oliver - Such a good morning read for when you're on the go. Oliver's poetry is filled with such simple, sweet beauty of what's around us. Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer - I absolutely loved this book. It's adventurous and hilarious, but don't attempt to watch the movie starring Elijah… Continue reading What I read in 2013
