Lent (Day 363)

How is it possible that I can't sleep?! I was up before eight, I didn't get my nap, I ate enough food to put myself into a coma, I went on a pretty long hike today, and then I ate again! My mind and body are exhausted by they still won't shut off. And since they won't I thought I'd spend the time in front of this screen.

More Than I Could Ever Imagine (Day 359/360/361)

Every time I think of myself in the design world now I can't even imagine it. That life was so long ago. And every time I think of myself being fulfilled in that job I can't see it. That would be because I have found myself being used for something so much bigger. Design is a wonderful thing and I still think it is necessary in our society, but I couldn't imagine choosing it over mentoring, loving, and teaching kids. I have found my passion and I'm not going back.

Too Much For A Title (Day 355)

Get ready for a long one, guys. In-between swim meets, practice, Hideaway, and getting sick I've put my blog on the back burner. But let me tell you, I have some joyous memories to share! Lets just start with practice a few days ago.

It was Thursday, I had been home sick the day before, I came to practice early like I normally do to get some of my Bible study done. I always go to the room where we stretch, sit on the mats, and work until  they arrive. Once the first one shows up, I put the study away and give them my attention. So on Thursday, my fourteen-year-old Sydney was the first to arrive. I was almost done with that day's study so when she came and sat next to me I put a finger up letting her know to give me a minute while I read the last chapter.

Days of Awe (Day 342/343)

Well I did it again. I've found myself to be very busy lately. So busy I can't get much done outside of work. Even as I write this, I'm falling asleep because of the eventful day I had. I just had to archive today and Sunday somehow so I'm choosing the best way possible. The way where more people than just myself can be blessed by the words. That's why I'm choosing my blog.

You're Cut (Day 332)

Some people would think that a slow day at a restaurant when your job is a server would be a bad thing. Me on the other hand took it as a major blessing. Yes, I only came out with nineteen dollars today but I was able to come home, cook lunch, do a lesson in my neglected Bible study, and even squeeze in a fifteen minute nap.

Remind Me (Day 331)

Tired. That's all I can say. I was terribly tired walking through the doors to the pool today. I didn't know how I was going to treat my kids with love and respect. I needed help from someone above.

Stray (Day 330)

Hello all. I know it's been around two months. I'm going to blame settling in, starting two jobs, getting my own place, and not having internet all in a matter of really a few weeks. It actually had been so long that I forgot about this blog, sad I know. Then when my parents came to visit last weekend, my mom asked why I stopped writing. She told me people were always asking her about the blog. I didn't realize I had that large of a following. So for the sake of you I am picking up the habit again.
