April 22, 2013

Yeah. That. I completely fell off the memory verse bandwagon and [...]

We Are Strong

April 17, 2013

“So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish [...]

On a Special Bible

April 15, 2013

I was fifteen when my great-grandma passed away. I remember feeling sad, but not a crushing sense of despair. She was 82, living in a nursing home, and dealing with dementia. I felt more sad watching my grandma deal with losing her mother, than the actual sense of losing my great-grandma. I remember a few [...]

Currently…

April 12, 2013

Feeling… very apprehensive about Sunday. After much cajoling and peer pressure from my mom and her friends, I signed up to walk the Iron Girl 5K on Sunday.

Some Things You Should Know About Me

April 5, 2013

I use Bath & Body Works pocket hand sanitizers religiously. My first big vacation was a trip to Ohio when I was 10. My dad, my mom, my brother and I packed up the car and drove 14 hours straight from Florida to Ohio. The entire trip was spent visiting my dad’s old high school [...]

March Reads

April 3, 2013

16. Gone Too Far by Suzanne Brockmann (5 stars) The Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann is, far and away, my favorite series by any author. Sometimes, I get sad that these characters are not real people! They feel so real and alive and I love reading their stories. This story was mainly focused on one [...]
