If

I didn’t believe in God or miracles I would be crying, eating ice cream, and drinking until I found an attractive man to make even more mistakes with.

But I do believe in God and miracles. So even if we, as a family, can’t see what even tomorrow looks like, it’s okay. I’ll keep breathing. Because as things get worse and harder every day, the promise of good things gets closer.

Please pray for my family in this time of transition, hurt, and mountains.

"If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you."

Psalm 139:11-12

We have reached hell and high water but heaven is still above and on the way.

If you know the importance of studying biblical doctrine and how our understanding of salvation can either skew or embrace the gospel, you need to read this book. #savedbygracealone

A reminder to myself not from myself:

“You can celebrate those victories, even if they seem small.”

Little Ella’s first cello performance! A girl after my own heart: her sisters play the violin and she chose the cello.

Take me to L.A. | Man Repeller

Do you not just wanna die over that dress she’s wearing? I spent a portion of my run this afternoon dreaming about it.

Eating a bag of chocolate chips while I write about why this campaign is effective and yada yada yada. I am actually really enjoying all the critical thinking questions this application is asking me. It’s refreshing to think and write about what I love and went to school for.

Am I

just not competitive enough for this world?

There’s never enough hours in the day, but the number of years in a life sounds too long.

Took this picture feeling like I could compete in a Ball under the butch category, only to end up at a pub with ten flaming homosexuals.

I like to run.

Pulling onto my street tonight I wondered, “Will I ever stop running?” Today I ran my longest distance of the year so far. I didn’t feel like running and was convinced I would quit after two miles before I even walked out the door, but it was a glorious evening. Cool (but not too cool) temperatures, mist, and a cloudy dawn gave me 47 minutes of pure mental bliss.

I have this idea that not to run is to not succeed. (And it doesn’t always include pink Nikes and hip hop.)

"The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth."

"Every­one has warned me not to tell you what I am going to tell you in this last book. They all say ‘the ordi­nary reader does not want The­ol­ogy; give him plain prac­ti­cal reli­gion’. I have rejected their advice. I do not think the ordi­nary reader is such a fool. The­ol­ogy means ‘the sci­ence of God,’ and I think any man who wants to think about God at all would like to have the clear­est and most accu­rate ideas about Him which are available."

OMG.

There is so much that can be said for my dinosaur of a MacBook and none of it is good. Nine-million hours and too many profanities later, my fingers are crossed and my application for that coveted internship is submitted.

I have no clue what is going to happen. I feel like I stand a good chance, but I also feel like God is going to do the same thing He did last year at this time: apply, feel hopeful, get positive feedback, then no. Door closed. You’re staying here.
