A pretty common childhood fear is the fear of the dark. As we grow up, the actual anxiety of being in an unlit room typically lessens, however fear of other kinds of darkness only increases. We're afraid of the darkness of tough situations in life. We're afraid of the darkness of sadness or depression. We're… Continue reading A Light in the Darkness {wonder-full wanderings}

A week of joy… {wonder-full wanderings}
Week 3 of advent complete and we're heading in to the final stretch. Anticipation building on this last day of only lighting 3 candles on the advent wreath. This week we got to add the joy candle. It's probably my favorite! The pink standing out against the purple. Bright against darkness. To be honest I've… Continue reading A week of joy… {wonder-full wanderings}
A week of Peace {wonder-ful wanderings}
Peace. The second candle lit on the advent wreath... A call to be still and know God is God and He is in control. Unlike with hope last week (where the theme seemed plastered all over my life) peace was a little harder for me to come by. In fact, I may or may not… Continue reading A week of Peace {wonder-ful wanderings}
With Every Breath {wonder-full wanderings}
When you get home before sunset on a 55 degree December day in Buffalo it means only one thing: Grab your running shoes and get out the door AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (At least for someone who enjoys running but hates treadmills as much as I do.) While good for my body, breathing in the… Continue reading With Every Breath {wonder-full wanderings}

It's before the sunrises on a new week and the bed is warm and a blankets are begging for a few more minutes of sleep, but a different calling rises, greater... The need for a different kind of rest. Blog after blog, Facebook post after Facebook post talk of this busy time of year for… Continue reading Ladder-Climbers {wonder-full wanderings}
A Week of Hope {wonder-full wanderings}
Week one of the beautiful advent season... One candle lit on the advent wreath... The hope candle. The flame dances small but mighty both on the wreath and in our souls. I don't believe it's coincidence that everywhere I turn it seems the 'word of the week' appears. All through the pages of God's… Continue reading A Week of Hope {wonder-full wanderings}
{wonder-full wanderings} at UB
This semester I have seen God do amazing things through the time I have spent at the University at Buffalo campus. Also true: This semester not many things have gone as planned in our work at UB. "Wandering" feels like a pretty applicable word in trying to figure out where God is calling us, specifically… Continue reading {wonder-full wanderings} at UB
Wonder-Full Wanderings
Advent. It is one of my favorite times of the year. A season so full of anticipation that it spills over and I find myself anticipating the season itself. Forcing myself to appreciate each day, I make myself finish Thanksgiving before busting out the Christmas tree and advent wreath, but as soon as it's over,… Continue reading Wonder-Full Wanderings
