[ and the cry of my heart is to bring You praise ]
I love the way that Jesus cares for me. I love that He cares about the things that seem so big to me- like my future and his glory and my holiness (or lackthereof) and persevering me to the end. I love that He cares about providing for me - the right job, meeting my financial needs, giving me gifts and resources and energy and time and love to give ( Read more... ) -
[ i'm so unworthy but still you love me ]
I haven't updated my blog in a very long time, I know. There's not much excuse really, it's not like I've been super busy. I've been unemployed. Although I suppose in a way I have been far busier in the last two months than I've been in the last year. I finally found the place I've been looking for since I moved out here. I finally found some ( Read more... ) -
[ then Lord shall I fully know, not till then, how much I owe ]
Tomorrow is my last day working for the Cundiff family. I can't believe it's been a year. It's been a rough year, to be honest, but by God's grace, I've learned a lot. So here's a list of fifty reasons I'm thankful that Jesus brought me to Minneapolis ( Read more... ) -
[ Review of Twilight - Book Two ]
New MoonI must begin by saying again, this is surely the most compelling contemporary literature I’ve stumbled across. But then again, I’m not much in the habit of reading contemporary literature. Still, the author (Stephenie Meyer) is undoubtedly skillful in creating suspense. This book is by far my favorite of the four ( Read more... ) -
[ Review of Twilight - Book One ]
TwilightFirst, let me say that I found this to be one of the most compelling pieces of contemporary literature I’ve read. It’s a page-turner, and no mistake. The suspense was enough to make me give up precious hours of sleep and social time because I couldn’t STAND not knowing what would happen to the characters, who are all tragically flawed ( Read more... ) -

[ we're created for Him, out of the dust He made us for Him ]
I just love those little denominational differences and when they come up in conversation with the Cundiff family. Like prayer time at the dinner table, when they say "ah-men" and I say "amen" like a good little Baptist girl ( Read more... ) -
[ it's only a matter of time ]
I found this today. I wrote it in 2007 when I was working at Nico's and continually depressed by the hustle and bustle on Brookline Boulevard. As sad and jaded a picture it paints, I like it.
CONSIDER THIS PROSE: The Steel CityMidnight on the Boulevard of broken dreams, this town's never looked so broken down. Can't you hear the people screaming ( Read more... ) -
[ joyful songs we raise ]
The twins were playing doctor today. Ehren was apparently quite ill. Christian was taking lots of x-rays of Ehren and putting him through all kinds of machines. Dr. Christian’s diagnonsense? “You have been eating too much junk food!” Then he gave him a list of instructions. The delivery was what made it so funny. He was very stern, shaking his ( Read more... ) -
[ You bore the wrath, I know the grace ]
"Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! And what more can David say to ( Read more... )
