Humility
Grace to the Humble
I am hesitant to share my personal thoughts of “the morning after,” but this is my blog, and being in a conversation about this topic is highly unlikely for me due to the fact that the median age of my workplace population is 3.
I’ll admit that the first thing I did this [...]
Little Bubbles
It takes stuff like sickness to burst my little idealistic worlds sometimes. Thursday night I called Eric at work complaining about my sudden realization that I was getting sick (again). I am too ashamed to say what I was thinking, but I grumbled, moaned, and told Eric all about how upset I [...]
Washing Feet: Loving Other People part IV
Okay, I’ve been holding this post in my head for weeks. It’s late on a Monday night, though, so I’m hoping it will make some sense. I want to end my Loving Others series with a post about “washing feet.” Washing feet is an act and concept that is not usually novel [...]
Overcoming Pride: Loving Other People part III
I want to send a link out for this post to the words that my friend Sara wrote about overcoming the dangers of pride. This is actually what I wanted to write about for the next post in this series, and Sara did it so beautifully! So click over and be encouraged by [...]
The Beginning: Loving Other People part I
I want to try something that I have done only a handful of times (and not very successfully, might I add), which is write a series on a particular topic. I shared the idea last night with my friend Emily on the phone, and we had a neat conversation about how we love when [...]
A series of unfortunate events
I have been humbled, my dear friends.
I got lost on the way to a new friend’s house today, and I was pulled over FOR SPEEDING. (Sorry, I won’t ever yell again on my blog.) Do you know how angry I was? I was pretty angry. I just nodded at the officer [...]
There Was No Skateboarding Today
Well, there was no skateboarding today. I can’t believe it, but I think it’s because Eric is home. Whenever he’s here, things are just peachy. You know what I’m talking about? haha
Here is the devotion thought I read this morning before scripture reading from Eric Liddell:
As you read these [...]
The Predictable 2 pm
I’m not writing this to complain - honestly - or to seek advice, or any other reason really other than this is my blog, and I like to be 100% honest, and well, there. (Now that I’m done I realize this is the longest post I have ever written. )
I am so [...]
Humility = True Joy
Lately God is testing and stretching me, causing me to long for more humility. I am learning more about this through my failures and trials, which is making me study it more. It is a marvelous wonder how God does not leave His children but is always revealing more of Himself to them. [...]
Toothpaste Tears
I just finished crying real, stinging tears. You know, the kind that feel like you have a hot tube of toothpaste being squeezed through your eyes? (Well, maybe not. I just came up with that right now on the spot, so bear with me.) You get what I’m saying, though. [...]
