A book I’ve read recently was reminding me of the concept of “thin places.” This was a phrase used by Celtic Christians to describe those moments were heaven and earth just seem to meet… those moments of awe and wonder… the moments where the junk that fogs our view most of the time is cleared… Continue reading “Thin places”

5-minute Friday – On Distance
This morning through a blog I regularly read, I discovered something another blogger does called Five Minute Friday. She dares readers and fellow writers to “just write and not worry if it’s just right or not.” Today, I took up the challenge… to write for five minutes, without really thinking about whether it was “right”… Continue reading 5-minute Friday – On Distance
But What If I end Up Some Place Like New York?!?!?
I didn’t want to clutter the other post from today with this story, but it is, as my staffmates would say “hi-larious” and just one of those things that confirms in my mind that God truly does have a sense of humor: So during my last semester at Concordia I was trying to make… Continue reading But What If I end Up Some Place Like New York?!?!?
Prayers Prayed… Prayers Answered
As I’ve described in posts Saturday, Sunday, and Monday… the way I ended up in New York for internship is something that only God could orchestrate. The stories are cool, but what is even more amazing is to see the ways in which God has answered so many specific prayers this year that were prayed… Continue reading Prayers Prayed… Prayers Answered
Beautiful Words, Guitars, and Emptiness filled
Ann Voskamp is one of the most beautiful women I know. I don’t really know her in the sense that I haven’t met her and she doesn’t really know who I am. However, through the words on her blog, I feel as if I know enough to be able to make the above statement. … Continue reading Beautiful Words, Guitars, and Emptiness filled

A “Full Life” Kind of Day
A “no-alarm” day Homemade bread for breakfast New strings on a freshly polished guitar Memories of the last time I fixed a guitar… and deciding to sing that song, the one I wonder if I’ll ever make it through again without tears Reflections on how when God puts “new strings” on my heart, they sound… Continue reading A “Full Life” Kind of Day
I Gave up Lent for Lent
I’m not going to lie… Lent is one of my favorite seasons of the church year. There’s something about this somewhat “dark,” reflective time that provides a stunningly beautiful contrast to the joy of Easter. I love it. But for some reason this year, I just haven’t been able to get “into” lent. As… Continue reading I Gave up Lent for Lent
Free to Be Me
A couple places lately the idea of making decision following God’s will has come up in discussion. We kind of talked about it a little at Lifegroup last night. Its common conversation among all of us interns as we each are in different situations with calls and interviews and placement (oh my). I’ve had more… Continue reading Free to Be Me
An (Un)divided Heart
Wow! What a week! I had an absolutely WONDERFUL time in Haiti with the FT team and plan to tell you all about it here (and hopefully in person) in the days to come. What’s standing out to me most right now is best described in a comment a friend posted on my Facebook wall… Continue reading An (Un)divided Heart
