I’m realizing just how much of my focus has been on the temporal versus the eternal. I’ve been in survival mode. I’m trying to keep afloat physically. My health hasn’t been great and the exhaustion has been overwhelming. I’m trying to keep at least my nose above water financially. Those two situations have taken aContinue reading “Temporal vs eternal”

Call to action
This weekend was a weekend of healing for so many…the countenance of many of the women that I know has literally changed. And for that, I thank God. It is amazing to watch Him move. This weekend was also a call to action. Today Pastor Jay preached. He taught on growth…how it is important toContinue reading “Call to action”
Weekend recap
For the record, I thoroughly enjoyed the women’s retreat. Our speaker blew my mind. What she said, though it touched me, didn’t rock my world. Instead, it confirmed in me so many things that God has spoken into my life recently. And that is a cool thing. God did a work knitting my heart toContinue reading “Weekend recap”
Oh when the Saints, go marching in
Oh when the saints, oh when the saints, oh when the saints come marching in….oh i want to be in the numbers, when the saints come marching in! As far as I’m concerned, Deuce McAllister deserves a raise. He’s my new hero…seriously. At least, after tomorrow, I won’t have to hear about the Eagles forContinue reading “Oh when the Saints, go marching in”
Christmas presents
I remember my first mission trip to Arizona. It was emotionally and physically the most difficult trip to date, of all of my trips. Somehow my zeal for missions was exponentially increased. Definitely a “God thing.” One day, during a devotional time, God gave me a scripture that I immediately internalized. “Anyone who loves hisContinue reading “Christmas presents”
New plan of attack
I’ve come up with a plan for survival today. I’m going to look at the women with whom I work as if they were on the Island of Misfit Toys ala Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I work with a bunch of Charlie in the Boxes. They all have character and personality, but they are brokenContinue reading “New plan of attack”
Day two…
Well, I survived day two. Not without tears. But I survived. We had a surprise visitor today. Pastor John came to visit. What a great surprise. I’m not really cut out for salon life. I cannot and will not make any more off-the-cuff references about business school. In a former life, I was really goodContinue reading “Day two…”
Challenges and lions
I’m being challenged. Again. To write. Again. Not just copious blogging, but actually getting out a pen and paper (so old-fashioned, I know) and write. I don’t know what I will be writing. I don’t know what it is that I have to offer aside from an offbeat sense of humor and my observations onContinue reading “Challenges and lions”
Purity
Throughout high school, people had a certain perception of me. I didn’t date until my senior year. One of the fellows I dated was my friend, but a friend of ours convinced him that we should date. He tried to kiss me after homecoming and I…well…ducked my head and ran into the house, leaving himContinue reading “Purity”
New England semi-wrap-up
Well, I have been back in NJ for a little over 24 hours. I am still attempting to make sense of all that occured in New England. Mom and I had a lovely time. I think that, for the most part, we really enjoyed being in one another’s company. Except for those times when IContinue reading “New England semi-wrap-up”
