I feel the need to be real: I woke up and felt a little BORING today. I felt like, “What am I doing with my life?” Then I realized, “AH!! Social Media!!” Social media isn’t real. It’s a snapshot of the best parts of our bodies and the good side of our faces, through filters […]
#7 A lady chooses her words wisely. You know that girl from high school? The one who always talked a little too much? You really wanted to like her… she was happy, very kind and sweet, but always seemed to have absolutely NOTHING valuable to say. She’s the one you took to coffee and waited […]
#4 A lady always uplifts. This goes for male and female alike. Uplifting others is a sure way to reveal your inner contentment. Unfortunately, I have seen this used in the opposite light… Sometimes we uplift others in an attempt to gain praise for ourselves. This ought not to be so. God calls believers to […]
I was thinking today about how lovely my Mom has always been. To know her is to know the essence of Grace. She does not know how to be otiose, idle, smug or clumsy or even awkward in any way. She tells me there was a time as a child, when she was forced to […]
When we fear no one but God, we’re free to really serve him. Cows like to turn their backs to the wind. At least, all the cows I know do. Slowly, awkwardly, eventually, all that beef will run parallel to the breeze. People aren’t too different. We align ourselves safely into herds, comforted by the […]
I had the strangest feeling yesterday. I have had it before, but very rarely as strong as it was. I was cooking something in the kitchen and then, all at once, I HAD to go for a walk! It wasn’t the feeling you get when you really want to work out, I did not want […]
You step into the mirrored room. Your feelings are mixed. Excitement. Fear. You watch Him glide in, so regal, so charming. The music begins and He takes your hand. You bow and grin. And off you go! You spin one way, praying you’re in step. He touches your shoulder, nudging you the other way. For […]
I just celebrated my 25th Birthday and it was grand in the most unique of ways. My family and friends decided to take me to L.A. for the weekend to see all of the sights, shop ‘til I drop and basically have an all around blast! We had an itinerary, but for the most part, […]
So … I just started Law School. That pretty much means I just sacrificed my social life (which for all intensive purposes we will pretend existed in the first place, since moving to Ventura, CA). Reading and analyzing is the name of the game. It’s a difficult game, but God has definitely given me grace […]
Let not those who are wrongfully my foes rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without cause. For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against those who are quiet in the land.~ Psalm 35:19-20 It’s not a pretty fact, but one reality in this life, […]
