Me: Yes, thank you, that was my ( Read more... ) -
Miracles
When a Christian friend offered to pray for me, and I facetiously declared: "I'd need a miracle!", he asked me what that miracle would look like. After some serious thought, this was my reply:
If I could have a miracle, I would want one year. One year to be a normal person, with a normal body, and normal problems (I'll deal with heartbreak ( Read more... ) -
God Thoughts part 2
Wasn't it just a week ago that I wrote that last entry in the midst of brokenness and confusion, seeking God in the midst of all the pains and sufferings of my life, crying out with these questions....
"God why are you hurting me so much?? Do you love me at all? Why have you taken everything I could ever want and made it impossible to acquire? ( Read more... ) -
God Thoughs
When it comes to faith vs doubt in God, I think my struggle is not so much with the academic and reason side of things. Although I do sense the need to resolve things more solidly in my intellect so that I at least have logic and facts to fall back on (not to mention the ability to reason more eloquently and effectively with non-believers), for ( Read more... ) -
I have met my husband...
At least I think I have. I'm scared that he'll get to know me a little better and realize I'm not so easy to live with and he'll just tire of my health obsession and all my issues and run for the coast while he still can.

I'm in CHICAGO!!! :)
Twice as big as Toronto, I don't know what made me think I could capture this city in such a short time! But I'm loving it here.

Fool That I Am
Fool that I am,
For falling in love with you.
And fool that I am
For thinking [you'd love] me too.
You took my heart,
Then played the part of little coquette.
And all my dreams just disappeared
Like the smoke from a cigarette.
Fool that I am,
For hoping you’d understand.
And thinking you
Would listen to
The things that I had planned.
But we couldn’t see eye to ( Read more... )
