This week is literally kicking my ass. I feel like I should be walking around wearing a sign that says, 'Pre-apology: If I snap at you...it has nothing to do with you.' Then I apologize a LOT. For being late. Snapping at people. Messing stuff up. My 'in the zone' look makes people think I … Continue reading sing

contagious
I made it until I was about 11 until I had chicken pox. Itchy, splotchy and nasty. I contracted it through my extremely contagious little brother, who conveniently had it at a young age since he is 9 years younger than me. Thanks, bro. (sarcasm intended) We learn about contagious things from our childhood. Wash … Continue reading contagious

I can’t help it. It has been rattling around my brain all day. I wish I could shut it off, because it would be easier. But no… I am addicted to Lent. There I said it. Now what? This Lent season I committed to writing a blog every day and today all I can think … Continue reading acts
roots
There is a stunning, tangled web of beauty at the base of each tree that stretches to the ocean of blue above. But the most beautiful part we can't even see. It's hidden beneath the surface, going so deep that if you tried to pry it out it would take hours, if not heavy machinery, … Continue reading roots

Water swirls around me as I catch a breath then tuck my head back into the blissful quiet of the pool. Stroke. Kick. Stroke. Kick. Breathe. Stroke. Kick. Stroke. Kick. All alone. When I am swimming it is one of the most peaceful times for me to decompress and clear my head. Second only to … Continue reading alone
temper
I have a temper. There I confessed...we can be done here, right? Probably not. I have been slapped for my hateful words. I have manipulated others to get my own way when I've been angry. I have been justifiably called a bitch when my temper flys. I have incited angry words in others based on … Continue reading temper

'With great power there must also come - great responsibility!' Yes, I finally watched The Amazing Spiderman today...I know, it's about time. And yes, I am a superhero movie geek. But the message is the same for us...as a believer in the universal reign of King Jesus, you have been given great power. 'But you will … Continue reading go

**Forewarning: this blog post completely changed from ‘Silence is beautiful and we need more of it…’ following a really ‘happy’ blog post, to what you read here. Beware, it wasn’t me…it was the one I serve. If you are looking for beautiful silence, probably find a different blog…because the silence you read here is a … Continue reading silence

Chinese. If you hang around me enough, you will hear me talk about my constant search for good Chinese dumplings in the US. I will eat Chinese food for lunch AND dinner. Pick your dropped jaw off the floor, because I will prove it...if you buy. Mexican. I cannot get enough of the white cheese. … Continue reading ate

You are frustrated. You are snapping at everyone. You cannot hold back the mean sarcasm. People back away as a snarl escapes your lips. Nothing is going right. The world is out to get you. And to top it all off…God must be absent, because if he wasn’t why would all this be happening? No. … Continue reading bless
