Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition
Last week, I had the opportunity to go to the Nasher Sculpture Garden with my mom and my children. I’ll let that sink in for a minute: I went to an art museum. Willingly. And dare I say I even enjoyed it? And this time I managed NOT to ask questions like “These are all… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition
“Card” to believe
Let me begin my post by reminding you of one simple truth about me: I don’t make cards. I’ve explained it before, in great detail. I’ve even reiterated it in not-so-different terms. So imagine my surprise when, over the past few weeks, I’ve made not one, not two, but THREE separate card designs. I know! … Continue reading “Card” to believe
Back in the Saddle
She posts! And there is an audible *thunk* from the jaws of my few beloved faithful readers hitting the floor. Yes, it’s been awhile. For most of the past year, I have made a valiant attempt to keep the content on this blog somewhat current. I even had the best of intentions at the beginning… Continue reading Back in the Saddle
New Year’s Re-Solutions
Well, it’s that time again. The calendar tells me it’s a brand-new year. And although I sit here, finding it nearly impossible to believe that another 365 days have come and gone, I know it’s true. Each year, January 1 finds me optimistic: a whole calendar year spread out before me, 365 days filled with… Continue reading New Year’s Re-Solutions
Into Africa
Well, today’s the big day. The day I’ve been alternately dreading and eagerly anticipating for 7 months. The day I take one giant step out of my comfort zone and place myself squarely in the palm of God’s hand…and make myself at home. Today, I leave for Africa. Sometimes, it’s: today I leave for Africa???… Continue reading Into Africa
Contemplating Figs
I’ve been thinking about figs a lot recently. Well, one in particular. My fig. I don’t even know if I like figs, really. I mean, sure, I like them when they’re made into a paste and spread on top of foamy little cake rolls and sold in little plastic trays in the grocery store. But… Continue reading Contemplating Figs
South Beach Update: Basking on the Beach
Well, glory be. It finally happened. It’s taken a year, but it finally happened. I have hovered at the 28-lb. mark for so long, I was beginning to wonder if I was destined to live the rest of my life there. And I guess I would have been happy, knowing I can wear size 12… Continue reading South Beach Update: Basking on the Beach
Please…DO send me to Africa!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITmHLf1DB_0&NR=1[/youtube] For years, that was my feeling whenever I was challenged to “go on mission†with God. I was afraid of where He might send me. To be honest, I’ve been secretly grateful that He has given me opportunities to serve Him in the comforts and conveniences of suburban life. However, in recent months I’ve… Continue reading Please…DO send me to Africa!
An Open Letter
Dear Dad, I can’t believe it’s been 12 years since I last saw you. Sometimes it seems like much longer ago, and other times it seems more recent. But the heartache of missing you and sharing life with you doesn’t ever truly go away. I’ll say it: I hate that you’re gone. I know God… Continue reading An Open Letter
