Cold
Today’s low is in the lower 20s. I’m starting to think I should have bought a warmer coat.
I love the cold crisp weather, but man does it make it difficult to crawl out of bed in the morning for classes–or at least it makes it difficult to walk into the bathroom that doesn’t have heat. [...]

Thanksgiving–Not Yet Here
I am so excited to go home for Thanksgiving! I really miss my family and friends. I haven’t been home since the beginning of the school year when I came for Orientation Team training–so that would be early August, if I’m not mistaken.
Thanksgiving has always been a uniquely special time for me and my family. [...]

MB Mental Health Institute
I don’t remember if I’ve written about this before, but I’ve been doing a practicum down the mountain at Moccasin Bend Mental Health Institute (in other words, I volunteer there every week). This could be quite the long story, so in short…it’s been a rough six weeks and I still have two more [but I'm [...]

God is Here
Today is one of those days where I just can’t think of something to write about. Actually, I take that back. I have plenty to write about and much on my mind, but I just don’t want to write about any of it. I think that when I’m writing I’m actually processing everything that’s sitting [...]

Crunch Time is Here…
Everybody’s getting a bit stressed. We’re at the point in the semester where we’ve learned enough to start giving presentations, writing papers, and doing projects in addition to exams. A good friend of mine made a post on facebook and it was very insightful so I thought I’d share it here. She made the point [...]

Four Down, Zero More to Go!
I am now officially finished with my crazy week of tests! I still have a paper left to write but I’m almost excited to start on that because I’m so tired of memorizing things. =)
God is good! He definitely helped me get through this last week. One thing that I feel God has been teaching [...]

A Glimpse of Eternity
I think one of the biggest blessings God gave me when He took Ben back home into His arms was a better view of eternity and a better grasp on just how precious, how marvelous, and how amazing Jesus’ sacrifice for me really was. Now the words “one day every tongue will confess you are [...]

To Guard…To Hurt…To Love
C.S. Lewis wrote:
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; [...]

Turn from Evil
I was talking to a friend last night about sin. He said something that really stuck with me. He said that sometimes he thinks he just doesn’t hate sin enough to want to turn away from it. I thought he made a very good observation, not just about himself, but about all people.
I just [...]

Lunch Date
I had a lunch date with one of my best friends from high school today. We went to a Japanese sushi place and it was amazing. For dessert we shared a slice of fried cheesecake. Yum! But the best part of the entire lunch was the conversation we had. We had not really had a [...]
