Aka: Weekend in ReviewSurreal, slow motion, mid-air collision during the flag football game. Kinda intriguing to watch. And no one was really hurt... Conversations on the church lawn, complete with my mindless pulling/tossing grass in the air. I don't know why I must continually move during conversations. I just do... Staying up WAY too late... Happy to find a cute new purse at...
"Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count." Psalm 40:5Yes. It's true. MANY are the wonders that the Lord has done in my life! On April 10th, I was officially laid off...
My last blog entry was intended to illustrate how little I really knew or understood about my future at the age of 17. And to glorify God for His constant presence and leading and protection. And though the trials have been many and varied, I do not regret these experiences. Sometimes I think, "Oh, I could have handled that differently" or "Why haven't...

Sometimes “I told you so” is very appropriate.Strumming a guitar and softly singing by firelight.Four people needed to...
Crazy is the entire preparation for our youth drama outreach on Friday night. Trust me, the story is too long and complicated to write in my Weekend in Review.Crazy is hands covered in black eyeliner, red, green and black facepaint, and deciding to spike the “devil’s” hair with hand lotion. (it worked)Crazy is solving the we-have-no-working-stereo-for-our-drama-music problem by hooking up the ipod to...
The pounding grows louder and louder. The wooden door shudders under the rapid blows. Minutes pass by, seeming like eternity. The small group huddles in the corner. They have been fortunate—blessed—protected for the last few years. Living in a neighborhood where the Roman soldiers are more concerned about feeding their pleasures, than rounding up families, old men, children, women, men, for some professed...
Over the weekend, my two roomies, my mom and I retreated to the rustic cabin in the mountains for some rest & relaxation. And reading. And riotous laughter. And ridiculously good food... And I will now attempt to avoid alliterations... :)Quotes & Other Fun Memories:Making mountain pies over the gas burners of a stove. Because it was raining outside. And campfires in the...
