I arrive home from class tonight…
After sitting through 5 hours, and two classes.
I walk with one professor to her office hours to be pulled aside from another professor…
“I just wanted to let you know, your submission was incomplete, and will be graded as such.”
I walk the rest of the way to office hours where the creation of an anxiety attack is brewing.
As I...

Today has been the hardest I have fought cravings on Paleo… Literally anything that wafted by my nose instantly became something that had to be in my tummy.
Perhaps it is the heat, but all I am craving is chocolate and carbs and ice cream. That reminds me, I want to go to Mother’s to get a Chocolate Almond milk and see if I can turn it into a popsicle… I succumb this morning, to...

Well, after many hopeful phrases on my part about visiting my sister, my sister finally had enough and purchased me a ticket to come visit her in Boston. Insert insane squeal! I was bobbing up and down at work over her generosity towards me this morning.
My tax return could have covered a ticket, but, I was planning on waiting until Thanksgiving to visit so that I could pay off a little more of...

We live in a fallen world, but light always triumphs over darkness. Yesterday, was a dark day, but in light of the tragedy, there were many who proved that goodness is still alive and well.

Oh dearness me… Trusting the Lord and all that jazz is hard business! Vulnerability is not my strong suit, but, at least it’s making me a more well-rounded person? I hope that I don’t retreat to Plato’s cave after this one though- that I embrace the growth the Lord desires from me- to continue to make me more like Him… to be gracious and loving and trusting despite...

I know that life has an end.
It has a beginning…
But its the journey that defines us; rooting us deep in our convictions and understandings; Building character, relationships and truths that help us accept difficulties or explain the purpose of the beginning and the end. We learn to love, we learn to hate, we learn to worship and idolize- we learn.
We grow.
We regress.
We grow back.
We get...

Date a girl who reads
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the...
