I have always wanted to fall in love. As a teenager and college student I prayed that I would only fall in love once and that my one love story would be with my husband, the man I would spend the rest of my life with. Now, it’s a given and I don’t need to … Continue reading Something to Celebrate

Judges 4: The Feminist Chapter
“And Jael came out to meet Sisera and said to him, ‘Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me; do not be afraid.’ So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug… But Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her … Continue reading Judges 4: The Feminist Chapter
Beautiful and Important
This past weekend I went to a job training for a job that is highly relational. Part of the job training was talking in small groups about ourselves - who we are and how we operate. We made Venn diagrams (or word webs in my case because I love a good word web) about ourselves. … Continue reading Beautiful and Important
With Her Heart
Just a little over four years ago I was a fresh little baby just off the airplane in this new crazy place called the Dominican Republic. I met a lot of new people in my first months in this country and most of them are still part of my life today. One of those people … Continue reading With Her Heart
51-60 of 100
This latest batch is a diverse bunch of books. From pen pals to psychos, from time travel to space travel, I've read some tales! I'm still four books behind but determined to catch up. NON-FICTION Why do non-fiction books always have such long titles? Nothing beyond the colon is necessary. It's like movie previews these … Continue reading 51-60 of 100
Tea parties, make up, and how we’re all okay
Yesterday our church hosted a women's tea party. Every small group was in charge of a table and since our bible study leader was in the States during the planning time, I was put in charge of decorating a table for the tea. So I looked around my apartment and said, "Well, I've got a … Continue reading Tea parties, make up, and how we’re all okay
I climbed (part of) a mountain
On Saturday I climbed part of a mountain. It was awful and awesome. This past weekend three friends and I traveled north to my favorite Dominican city, Jarabacoa. Jarabacoa is in the mountains and it's beautiful and there are waterfalls and rivers all around. So on Saturday morning we got up and we got on … Continue reading I climbed (part of) a mountain
Here’s the thing about May
On the first day of May I walked down the stairs of my apartment building to be greeted by my principal. I was ten minutes late for school and she was holding a puppy. "It's a puppy!" she said. "Put him in your apartment!" Or something like that. So, naturally, I put him in my … Continue reading Here’s the thing about May
Here’s the thing about what I’m thinking about lately
Pastor Miguel preached recently about the importance of Scripture. I mean, that wasn’t the topic of his sermon, but he definitely mentioned it. He reminded us of how important it is to hide God’s word in our hearts. You might read the Bible today and it might not speak to you, he said. You might … Continue reading Here’s the thing about what I’m thinking about lately
Here’s the thing about March
I decided March was the perfect time to finally read the Twilight series (I started book three this morning), start yoga (thanks Adriene!), and go back to Jarabacoa. Semana Santa (Holy Week) is this week. A week with no school is a great way to wind up March and head into April. BLOG POSTS & … Continue reading Here’s the thing about March
