Streams in a Wasteland

I woke up this morning with an overwhelming feeling of dread. I wondered why, since the storm had already passed. We didn’t lose power, no excess flooding, and from what I could see out the window from my bed, no trees had fallen, no text saying people I loved weren’t ok. So why did I feel this unexplainable weight? And then I remembered the date.  October 11, 2018.  15...

I realize this post is coming a little late. And by little I mean a lot. I just wanted to give a quick update on my January goals and post my February goals! January: Tithe consistently-I haven't tithed very consistently, but I haven't let any time go by in which I have not tithed on my full amount I made at work. So, I am 3 weeks behind on tithing, but I have added up those three...

Well, here I am with my 3rd (!) update of the month! I have found that updating helps me refocus and be inspired all over again with the goals I had set for this year. So, to give the lowdown since the last post I have: -Kept up with all but the last week of my tithing. Seems bad but for me it's good because even though I fell 2 and a half weeks behind, I still tallied it up and tithed....

Tithe Consistently- I tithed last sunday but not this past sunday. On my way back from Athens I will tally how much I need to tithe and give it online. Read through the Bible- I've kept up every day, sometimes saving the Genesis chapters for the next day. I have 2 chapters from Genesis to read and then todays Genesis chapters. So I've kept up so far. Yay! Run 500 miles- I've done 6.1....

In the year 2015 I would like to accomplish the following: -Tithe consistently I have not tithed regularly through 2014. It's been off and on. I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but it's the truth. The reason is not because I want the extra money, as you might think. It's the inconvenience of figuring out each week what my tithe would be and getting the money out of the bank. Which...

As each Christmas goes by without my dad, I feel differently. This year, though not as hard as previous years, felt a bit empty. I've searched for words to describe it but all I can come up with is a picture in my head. I keep picturing a string, holding something together, tying it all together. And then the string is gone. And everything sort of scatters, or unravels. That's how...

I hope I remember how to write. It's been so long since I have. It's been almost 11 months since I've written last. Several things have changed since then. I'm no longer an employee at Lifeway. I'm dating someone I met at Lifeway. I'm working at a new salon. I moved on my own into an apartment of sorts. I've gained a friend that I know I will have for life.  One...
