(prepare for a seemingly oh-so-dramatic bloggy:) So, I've decided that I'm never satisfied with life. (see, I told ya so;) I'm trying to figure out why that is. During the school year, when I am loaded down with work and SV and fastpaceness consumes my life, all I can seem to think about is finding relief. I whine, I complain, I get restless and ( Read more... )

So, I've decided to read The Chronicles of Narnia over Christmas break. I'm trying to read all the way through and believe this could be easier than I imagined- these books are fabulous! I love them and naturally have found myself absolutely entranced with the character Aslan (so much so that I have already contemplated naming my future child after ( Read more... )

Something I was reading today really made me stop and think. I know that in the Christian community and especially in my own life, we get really wrapped up in being good and doing good. I tend to believe that if my life looks a certain way than I'm "Okay". I'm learning more and more the depths of sin that take root in my heart and am getting ( Read more... )

Change
Said the sun to the moon,
You cannot stay.

It's inevitable and neccessary. I want it and at the same time it's what I fear most.

There is such an awesome bond that sisters have. The three of us are sooooo different but when we are together we have the BEST time! Tonight, we made dinner together and ( Read more... )

Jamie is officially moved into my room and I am so pumped! Our bedroom is really beautiful...not that I can take credit for it at all seeing as Jamie is a master interior decorator. In any case, I am very happy to walk each day into my very pretty room. It relaxes me ( Read more... )

I just flew home from my Asia trip last night and it has been quite an adjustment. I loved everything about the culture I was immersed in and made so many amazing relationships. I was pleasntly surprised by how much I enjoyed my students. I would have never admitted this before but because of past experiences I always thought that Asians were just ( Read more... )

So....East Asia....one week....I'm outta here.... I can't wait ( Read more... )

I am tired of long drawn out journals so I'm just gonna say that right now I'm happy and feel very loved. I have really great girlfriends who care about me so much. I love my house but sometimes I feel really isolated from most of my best girlfriends who all happen to live together in this sweet utopia, well I'm sure it's not utopia all the time ( Read more... )
