Writing

6:38 AM
Thank you to my two commentators. :) However, I know there are more of you. I'll just believe that your silence is a result of debilitating shyness. :) Stick around though. It only gets *more * interesting around here......The Big News: I write different than I talk.It's true. I wonder why that is? Maybe I just put more thought into writing? Maybe the...

Wake-Up Call

6:42 AM
Through a series of fortunate events, the Lord has got my attention. This weekend, He told me in no uncertain terms that my passion and attention has been focused on other things besides Him. I used to love Him more passionately, more dearly and desire Him more intensely. Slowly, that passion has waned.It's not a time issue or a discipline issue or a...

Semper Fidelis

7:55 AM
"Always faithful."It's the motto of the Marines. But to me, it's the most accurate description of my Lord. He is always faithful. He never changes, never turns, never betrays, never shows weakness or inability or anything that would cause me to doubt Him.The Lord my God is perfect in all His ways... and His ways are faithful to me."If we are faithless, He...

The Offering

6:44 AM
Tears streak down my faceAs I walk the dusty road.This heart inside is breaking,And I fear I can't let go.This offering required of me,This lamb without defect.It is the lamb that I have loved,this lamb that is my best.So tenderly I cared for it,Like a mother with her child.And now I lead to certain death,To cover my soul defiled.Wretched sinner am I! For...

Most Non-Glamorous Moment: On my hands and knees last night, scrubbing away at a mystery stain in the youth room carpet. Jell-O or red punch? Hmmm.Most Touching & Hilarious Moment: An unexpected gift of the most MASSIVE water bottle I've ever seen... And the obligatory story behind it: Every Wednesday at youth group, after worship and before preaching, I ask The Little Bro...

Weekend in Review

MmmHmm (Randomness)

6:44 AM
Someone borrowed my car and "accidentally" hit a skunk. (I'll mention no names--Little Bro!!!) Five days later, and I can still smell it ten feet away! Let's just hope my coworkers don't noticed the special perfume that may be clinging to me...I attempted to shoot a coconut. Six shots and all misses. I really need to work on my gun-handling skills. On the...

He is Coming!

6:37 AM
I am…Grateful. There was a girl I know who tried to commit suicide last weekend. She almost died. Maybe even did die. But by the intervention of God, she draws breath again today. We prayed for mercy---crying out to God for another chance so she could submit to Christ. Does she know how close she came to the tortures of hell? She wasn’t...

Valentine's Day

6:40 AM
Today is Valentine's Day. I've never been the bitter and cynical single, or the weeping and groaning single, or the "I hate men" single girl. In the world's eyes, I probably should be depressed or desperate, because I am 25 years old: have never dated, never had a boyfriend and never been kissed. *Gasp* I know-shocking, isn't it? I will admit that I...

Clear as Glass

6:45 AM
Though I am sorry to have gone so long without posting, the reality is that blogging is my lowest priority. Truly! On the "To-Do List," it gets a C rating, which means it's not urgent and not very important. So, while I enjoy giving everyone something to crrrr-iticize, alot of things come first. :)With all that said, I've been enjoying a book called...
