The Chair Waits

I didn’t know a person could actually have a true breakdown in her 20s. I thought you would have kids and really go through being an adult before you could actually get to the point of becoming breakdown worthy. And even then, I knew I was immune to the breakdown I was destined to. Destiny

Breathe

I’m a little further away from where I’d like to be, but I’m working on getting the center of my life back to center. Today I found time to breathe. Breathe. Breathing changes things. My breath brought me back to basics. All I have to do is breathe. Listen for God. Follow God. Breathe.

The Miracle Question

On the 5th failed attempt to find a distraction from connecting with my thoughts and writing this post, I decided to give in. Dear Facebook, you failed me. I’m never as strong and stingy as I think I am. Truth hurts. So with that, I sit and consider the positive. I’ll start with a little

Blue Is For Roseline

Resilience. The ability to bounce back even after a child has witnessed killing without cause. Disgusting. According to Invisible Children, an estimated 90% of the troops from the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) were abducted as children. The LRA is notorious for seeking out children who will be the most impressionable and mobile. The best age:

Searching for Significance

Forget the ladder. Keep the six-figure salary. What I’m searching for these days is significance. I want to be a part of something that is bigger than what I could ever do alone. Engage me. I’ll be a loyal part of the team. Build into me. I will deliver. I won’t let you down.I just

Do Something

Like a fat cat, I sat. I sat wondering. Wishing. Wishing I knew what to do. In the undertone of my breath, I mumbled, “do something with passion but don’t waste your time”. Somehow do something seems less scary if I don’t actually articulate the words (or make them audible). When I heard Doc Hendley

Hoy Es Viernes

My high school Spanish class teacher deemed Fridays as a day to emphasize school spirit. The class would celebrate with “Hoy Es Viernes!” (It’s Friday!) and do football cheers. It was contrived celebration by an overly enthusiastic (and a little strange) Spanish teacher. Regardless of my judgements about the Friday excitement- it worked. Students got

Passionately Unsure

I should be passionate about something. Is it hard for me to be passionate because: a) I’m afraid to commit to the ‘wrong’ thing b) I don’t know myself well enough yet c) I just haven’t found it Every person who has done anything significant was passionate about something. What if I’m just average B-student

Where God Comes In

So this is the part of my life where God enters. Scratch that. This is the part of my life where I pay attention to God. In an act of desperate honesty I am going to write something embarrassingly truth-filled: I only seek God when I think I need God. My lackluster personal motto could
