As I opened my Facebook page this afternoon, the first day of 2011, my eyes fell upon these words in the status of a friend: We're in no hurry, God. We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with your decisions. Who you are and what you've done are all we'll ever want. – Isaiah… Continue reading Content to Linger

One Thing
You probably know the story pretty well. Jesus shows up to his friends’ house for a visit. Martha runs off and begins preparing the meal in the kitchen. Mary goes and listens to Jesus. Martha gets mad, and starts complaining to Jesus. Instead of agreeing, Jesus says, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about… Continue reading One Thing
Please Don’t Underestimate Them!
I read this yesterday as the Facebook status of a high school girl and got her permission to share it here: I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I'm a virgin. I'm in high school, and I will not lose my self-respect just to "fit in". Wow. And the world says there's… Continue reading Please Don’t Underestimate Them!

Joyfullyblessed… with HOPE!
Hope. We use this word so often that I think it has lost some of it’s meaning. “I hope it doesn’t rain today.” “I hope ‘such-n-such’ sports team wins their game.” ”I hope I did okay on my test/work project/etc.” But truly, hope is a much greater concept. When we really look at hope,… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… with HOPE!
Joyfullyblessed…It’s kinda weird…
It’s kind of a weird thing to attend a funeral for someone you’ve never met, but definitely a unique opportunity that I’ve had a few times since being on internship, including once this week. Normally, funeral are associated emotions of grief and pain and confusion. Of course there is hope and glimmers of joy in… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed…It’s kinda weird…

Joyfullyblessed… to simply be His child
So, I always appreciate when people are real with me, so here I am, being “real” with the world. It finally happened. All the events, emotions, and adventures of the past few months of my life just hit me like one of those giant wrecking balls taking down a house.
