Daughter! Get you an honest man for a husband and keep him honest. No matter whether he is rich, provided he be independent. Regard the honor and moral character of the man, more than all other circumstances. Think of no other greatness than that of the soul, no other riches but [...]

i want to be lazy. perhaps because i’m still trying to recover from the cold/flu. but i just really really want to have a lazy day today. i have managed thus far to do precisely that, aside from a bit of work this morning, but i should probably get myself focused and get some things [...]

my crazy mind, desiring to be rid of this illness, just thought of a alternate reality in which people could offer to go through illnesses for other people, for a price, of course. (i hate being sick! ;) and then…i thought, “who in their right mind would go through sickness as a way [...]

And as a post-script to the previous post…of course, I believe the Word is God’s revelation to the world, and that, it’s not the Bible, but rather, Jesus, Himself. And that Scripture, is in fact, a revelation of the revelation.
So, point being…whereas my Muslim friends believe (and Islamic doctrine teaches, from my outsider perspective [...]

I unabashedly stole this from The Razzler. (Thank you!)
After spending some extra time in the Word today from my sickbed, I could not say it better.
His Word shall live forever
The Word is a sword that pierces the heart
The Truth is the light that cuts through the dark of this world
Nations shall rise and
Nations shall [...]

i want to learn the art of simplicity.
i want to learn what it means to effectively carry a heavy load but never be burdened.
to have peace in the midst of the busyness of life.
to be centered, fully.
and consistently.
to run the race of life well.
and to end it well.
i want to hear “well done, thou good [...]

the person who currently knows me the most intimately (since she lived with me for a number of years and also has the title of closest friend) called me during her lunch break today.
so good to connect.
this is the first time, in oh, three to four years, that we have not talked at least once [...]

thankful for restored health and the dawn.
the dawn does come. after a long, restless night.
and i’m not healed fully yet, but strength returns.
and i have a smile upon my face.
not that i need to drag you all through my illness woes.
;)

and i am blessed.
i was too weak to drive this morning so teddy (former roommate’s fiancee) brought me fabulous soup (from one of my favorite soup places which was a surprised, because i asked for some canned soup) and some of my favorite gatorade since i didn’t have any “sick food” in the house and [...]

it is utterly amazing to me how a simple cold can absolutely debilitate a grown adult and make them feel like they just want to crawl under the covers and never come out.
scripture talks about in our weaknesses, knowing God’s strength. heh. times of illness remind me of just how frail my human [...]

kiss the brand new day.
sweet tension between thankfulness for blessed life and frustration over a body who’s harboring a virus.
seven hours of back-to-back meetings with no break inbetween. hello monday!
;)
because of the snowstorm and then because of sickness, today will be the first day i shall venture out of my apartment since i came home [...]

“Famous Last Words” by Jars of Clay
You say you heard every word, but I watched you turn away
Your eyes grew colder than winter
“Love is so intrusive,” I thought I heard you say
And laugh so unconvincingly
Famous last words, “I’m not ready yet“
“I won’t be gone a minute”
Narrow is the road and too high a price to [...]

seriously.
what does “falling in love” entail?
is it just the extreme idealist in me that protests when i see a film and two characters “fall in love” in the span of…twelve hours? am i truly supposed to believe that? am i not supposed to want more character development? struggle? angst? working through the feelings and emotions? [...]

This world can be cruel. Hard. Disappointing. And yet still hopeful. Hopeful only because Jesus is Lord and rose from the grave, giving us the assurance of eternity.
Last year, a young woman sat on a couch and sobbed as one relationship came to an end, not knowing six months later, it’d be de javu all [...]

i’ve already put in overtime this week (”overtime” being defined as anything more than 49 hours) and i’m still wanting to work on my day off today.
is it treading on workaholicism if i’m passionate about the work i am doing and there’s always more to be done? ;)

for any of you who read this scribbling pad (i.e. blog ;) with any regularity, you’ll know i’ve been slightly obsessed with sara bareilles lately. on my birthday, after coming home from the funeral home at 10 p.m., i came home to find a grinning roommate on the couch and a sparkly purple gift bag [...]

Hah. 7:30 a.m. is now considered “sleeping in.”
;)
There looks to be 6-8 inches of snow outside, judging from my second-story window; I want to wake up more fully before I have to see what kind of digging I must do to free my car. ;)

“they will know you are my disciples by your love for one another.”

for those of you who claim to follow Jesus, without ever saying a word, what is your life and your relationships saying to those around you?

a single yellow rose greets me tonight in full bloom against the backdrop of my espresso-stained pub table.
a funeral rose, given to me this past tuesday. a reminder that life doesn’t stop for birth or death.

This has been the busiest week on campus for me; dashing off in a few; the campaign is going exceptionally well thus far. (More on that later, I hope. =)
BUT, I just got a gift package in the mail (thanks, Annika) - with a lovely, hilarious card and espresso-infused dark chocolate!!!!!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Thankful for friends and [...]

Becca seems to assume that I possess self-discipline.
What if she’s sadly mistaken?
Or she wants to torture me. Or test me.
;p
In which case, she’s evil.

i don’t know if i will ever understand men.
hmm.
they are really curious creatures sometimes.
but i’m told we are the same curiosity as women.
and so, i fall into the cliche observations of almost everyone else in this world.

A woman in Australia found me via a woman in South Africa (neither of whom I know).
I think I am still adjusting to this new world in which it truly seems to have become global in ways never possible before.
