Last Wednesday I posted this photo on Instagram and Facebook: With these words typed below it: This semester Wednesday nights look like this. Anthony works after Program so we meet at the Senior Center early before Bible Study. I bring him food and usually coffee (this week it was orange juice) and we talk about … Continue reading Word.

On Short Stories and Old Facebook Notes
I have been thinking a lot lately of writing short stories and putting them Out There -- either on this blog or, more recently, Wattpad. In Chapter 6 of DIY MFA, Gabriela Pereira writes about ideas and how do you know if this idea is The One. For book-length projects she suggests writing short stories … Continue reading On Short Stories and Old Facebook Notes
Blog-tember Challenge // Day 6: What I’m Listening To
Music is powerful. You can hear songs that were so important and meaningful to you from childhood and high school again in your 20s and know 99.9% of the music and lyrics and, at the same time, be transported back to a memory that you associate with those lyrics and tune. At my parents' house … Continue reading Blog-tember Challenge // Day 6: What I’m Listening To
Blog-tember Challenge // Day 5: A Memorable Birthday
I have enjoyed many memorable birthdays. For my 18th birthday, my parents and sister threw me a surprise party (my cousin wrote me a song!). When I turned 19 (or 20), I was working at McDonalds and some of my church family from Rescue showed up at the end of my shift. (That was a … Continue reading Blog-tember Challenge // Day 5: A Memorable Birthday

Well because it's September now it popped up in my Instagram feed and I have been wanting to blog more, so I'm jumping in a couple days late—and now a day behind—to the … Continue reading Blog-tember Challenge // Day 3: Summer Favorites
Let’s Change the World
August 27th, 2016 // Winding through the canyon on Highway 49 Saturday morning, I listened to the very first episode of the STORY podcast, which you can find on iTunes. (It's essentially a way for the people who attend this conference to stay connected to it all year around). And honestly I don't think it … Continue reading Let’s Change the World
Real Life. True Love.
Yesterday was an adventure for sure! Read about my latest lesson learned in the midst of frantic-ness. Life's a journey. I hope you'll come along for the ride 🙂
WARNING: Don’t Do Life Solo!
I'm a bit of a sporadic blogger. I am a sporadic blogger at best. After I wrote about God being weird, I overthought my review post of A Thousand Splendid Suns. (I'm pretty sure I cried about it. Here's my current review of it: just go read it). And Anthony and I decided I needed to … Continue reading WARNING: Don’t Do Life Solo!
God is so weird! (in the best way)
"giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," Ephesians 5:20. Anthony and I filed our taxes over the weekend and ended up owing almost $200 (we kept pressing the "explain this" icon on Turbo Tax, but the explanation never seemed to be complete). We were … Continue reading God is so weird! (in the best way)
