Catching up

Wow.  I’ve been gone for 8 months!  If you had been following the beginnings of my blog, please forgive me for dropping off the earth for such a long time. The most exciting thing that has happened is that I became a homeowner!  I had no idea that it would happen so quickly.  My former … Continue reading →

God’s Worst for Me

That’s exactly what I expect most of the time.  And I’ve had an of it today.  How can I explain?  I’ve been meeting with a mentor lately.  She encourages me, prays for me, listens to my rambling…  She also gives me bible verses to read.  This, of course, is with the intent of encouraging me … Continue reading →

This is not about what it was going to be about

I was about to name this post “Slack-tacular,” but I realized that one of my other recent posts was called “Slacker.”  Don’t want to create such a negative trend, when I would like to become a more positive person! So, Merry Christmas, fellow Pressers!!  I hope you enjoyed a refreshing time of reflecting on Emmanuel, … Continue reading →

Aftermath…my heart right now

Two posts for the price of one today!

(yes, those are two separate men)  It wore me out, I tell you.  I spent so much time … Continue reading →

Slacker

That would be me. It’s been a few weeks since my last post. When I began this blog, I was excited to make regular, super-insightful posts. To be sure, there have been several days when I’ve thought about posting, then didn’t.  There are so many things in my overly active heart and mind, but I … Continue reading →

Unexpected Answer, part 1

Less than a week ago, a part of my heart and mind were filled with thoughts of a potential relationship with a certain guy.  I’ll use the term “potential” loosely, since he was not seeing the potential.  He recognized how much we had in common and how much we enjoy each other’s company.  We both … Continue reading →

I’ll need to cash in on some new mercies tomorrow morning!

Lord, please energize me at the end of my workdays!!  For that matter, please give me energy and focus throughout the day!  My heart wants so much to love as you love, to serve as you serve and to give as you give.  Being  unable to focus during work, then coming home exhausted is not … Continue reading →

In medias res

It seems strange to begin in the middle.  In medias res, if you will.  That’s where I am right now.  I’m in the middle of my 30s.  I’m in the middle of figuring out my next steps.  I’m in the middle of some “heart drama.”  I’m in the middle of God’s love.  I’d love to … Continue reading →
