the moment.
reflecting a lot today on one of my favorite moments: the day i was offered the RD job for Simmons.
like so many things you really want in life, it seemed to take forever. i began to believe it wouldn’t work out. turns out it was a part of the Lord’s plan, though it definitely hasn’t unfolded at all how i envisioned it. it has been wonderful in its own unpredictable, incredibly...
even then.
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. Psalm 37:25
life is made up of seasons. spring summer fall winter. joyful. difficult. painful. beautiful.
even in the hardest seasons life is still good, because God is still good.
His sovereignty covers all of life.
a professor of mine once said that life is a cycle of trials. we...

process.
i take a long time to process things. a loooonnngg time. i turn things over and over in my mind, journal about them, talk about them, pray about them, think through them for months.
lucky for me, the Lord tends to teach me things through themes that run through my life over long periods of time. this gives me ample time to process all that i’m experiencing and learning. clearly He knows me...

Psalm 20
meditating on this today…
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your...

Viva Las Vegas.
Went to Vegas a few weekends ago for a mini-vacay to see Mumford & Sons and hang out with some friends and the bro. The only other times I have been to Vegas were for dance competitions as a teenager so this was my first “real” Vegas experience. Some things i learned from the visit:
The pool at the Cosmopolitan was the coolest venue I think I’ll ever experience.
I hate Vegas....

lent, luther, and ludicrosity
it’s been an interesting ride here at concordia. in an effort to embrace this lutheranism in an avenue i’m comfortable with, i’m celebrating my first season of lent. i’ve given up something before, but never with much background or understanding. this time i’ve invested more in understanding why i’m giving something up and reflecting on Christ’s suffering....
song of the day :)
ugly
heard a worship song at the Catalyst conference that said “You make beautiful things out of the dust, You make beautiful things out of us.” that got me thinking about how so much of what i think, feel, do, and say is ugly, but that with Christ’s death the Lord has redeemed all of those hideous things and makes them beautiful. my life can be a pretty ugly mess, but because He is...

God, this is not my favorite day...
today was one of those days where NOTHING went as planned. nothing happened the way i thought it would, nothing happened on time, and i was frustrated. i do have to say that i can see growth in myself in that i did handle it better than i would have in the past. i finally acknowledged how i felt when my constantly broken toilet was acting up and i started yelling at it. my prayer then went like...

wow. i’m so attractive.
won’t be single long, fellas ; )
feelin behind on life stuff. things like i haven’t made my bed in over a week (used to make it everyday), papers to file, stacks of untouched magazines, clothes to put away, a mess in my front room to organize, curtains to hang, a stack of sewing…and the list goes on. my goal for the mid-term break weekend is to tackle at least some of it despite the fact that i’ll be spending a...
perfection
my “growth group” for church tonight was so good. i was thinking about it the entire drive home (which is actually quite lengthy) and i had a small revelation. nothing i’ve never really thought before. probably nothing new to you either, but i it was like i saw it in a whole new light. here it is: i wish i was perfect. all my problems stem from the fact that i’m not and i...

35?
found out today that some of my freshmen seminar students thought i was 35. no one’s thought i was older than 21 in awhile. at the hospital the other night they thought i was 16 and needed a parent signature. weird.
