We’ve made it. It’s March 1st, meaning we only have 19 more days until our calendars remind us that it’s the first day of Spring. It already feels like Spring here in Texas and I’m completely in love with the beautiful blue skies and warm, sunshiny 75 degree weather. I don’t handle Winter well, so [Continue Reading…]
Enough Is Enough
My husband and I have been married for almost seven months and I’ve experienced more emotional whiplash in that period of time than ever before in my life. Moving away from a tight-knit community is hard. Being married can be challenging. Until two weeks ago, we hadn’t been able to find a home, though we were [Continue Reading…]
How To Move Gracefully Through a Breakup
Breakups suck. I never type that word here, but today I am. Because breakups really, really suck. They’re awkward and uncomfortable and sad and stressful and painful and hard and every other terrible thing. And it really doesn’t matter whether you’re the one ending things or he is, it stings either way. Before I met [Continue Reading…]
When The Dailies Are Wearing You Out
Sometimes, the dailies wear me right out. You know, the laundry and the cooking and the cleaning and the dog and the dishes and the bed-making and the I-just-washed-the-floor-yesterday-how-is-it-already-dirty-again? All the little things that are never, ever done. Because you can do a load of laundry every day and still have more to do tomorrow. [Continue Reading…]
Here’s To Not Making A New Year’s Resolution This Year
Happy New Year! 2016 here we go! I hope you had a lovely New Year’s Eve celebration last night. Not wanting something fancy (read: not wanting to spend lots of money and then drive on roads with crazy people), Riley and I made dinner with his mom and sister, and then we all watched the ball [Continue Reading…]
Merry Christmas!
Loving God, Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires [Continue Reading…]
I Think The Innkeeper Was Lying
This post is a repost from the archives; it was originally published on December 24, 2013. You know the innkeeper? The one who told in-labor Mary and surely-frazzled Joseph that there was no room at the inn? The man who sent the Messiah to be born in a stable? Well, I think he was lying. [Continue Reading…]
The 5 Words I’d Whisper…
This post is a repost from the archives; it was originally published on September 15, 2013. If I could whisper something in the ear of each person on this planet, it would be, “You are worth so much.” Our world would be drastically flipped on its axis if every human life heard those words, embraced those words, [Continue Reading…]
When You Come Home From College and Everything’s Different
Before I left for college, the longest that I had been away from home was for two weeks of summer camp. Being at camp wasn’t much like being away from home, though, because my two siblings and childhood best friend were always with me. While we were gone, our parents got a break from the daily [Continue Reading…]
When You’re Mourning a City
This post is a sort-of part 2 to this post. Have you ever moved to a new place and then wanted desperately to freeze time in your old place? Ever looked back on the people who made your life full and the places where you spent your time and the roads you used to take and [Continue Reading…]
