and Purposeful Prose
On Saturday morining I was struggling to focus on God. I stopped blogging on the weekends so I could make a distraction free effort to get close to Him. This is how we followers of Christ recharge and find our lift. I've never struggled so much to do this. I don't like it, so I [...]
Sunday I woke very early at around 4:30. When this happens I try listening to music or I may do some reading or writing, but by the time the alarm goes off I'm feeling so sleepy. So Sunday morning I ended up going back to sleep until about 1:30 when I got up, made myself [...]
Not to be confused with "Walkie-talkieing." Although... The above photo reveals the shoe of champions. No, really, they're called "Champions." I had such an amazing weekend. However, I didn't realize that it had gone so swimmingly until late Sunday afternoon. I've got some stories for you this week! Saturday morning I woke feeling emotionally flat. [...]
I have a poem for you! First, let's take a look at what yesterday brought. I woke up at around 4AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Very grey thoughts churned around in my head until the alarm went off at 7AM. By then I was in tears. Early in the afternoon Andrew and I [...]
My thoughts are all over the place. I'm having such a hard time figuring out where to begin. I guess the begining is a good place to start, right? This was our first trip together. We had only been married a year. A family reunion called us into the great outdoors and beyond our own [...]

One of my biggest problems is patience. I can be quite patient with people, but when it comes to personal progress, especially when I feel that progress is sloth slow, I'm not so patient. Don't even get me started on set backs or feeling as if I'm going in circles. Most of my problems stem [...]
This one is going to be a bit journal entry-ish. It hasn't been the most productive week. At least that's the way I've felt. Fatigue was an ongoing theme this week, so I was down for naps quite a bit. However, mentally I fared okay. My mood was fairly even, but I did have one [...]
Faith and patience go hand in hand. It takes time for things to grow. Thankfully God doesn't leave us unattended. He remains our gardener and He is with us always. Those who believe in Jesus as their Master Gardner recieve the Holy Spirit who helps us to understand Scripture, comforts us, teaches us and gives [...]
The best step that I've taken in these last couple of months was when I dropped my Sunday post. Shortly after this I decided I wouldn't read blogs on weekends as well. This has been really good for me. It's given me a chance to shut out all distractions and simply listen. One weekend I [...]
