God has formed such an amazing day for me. Therapy went fine for me, and I made an appointment to see her again next week. I have sort of an assignment this week to work on eye contact. I told Christopher and he said, "You don't have trouble with eye contact." And I was like, "Are you serious??" Has he met me? Eye contact has always been so ( Read more... )

I had a really fantastic day with thesilverlight yesterday. I dropped by her house after my late morning doctor's appointment in Thornhill, and spent the whole day with her. We talked about anxiety, went out for lunch together, and just spent time discussing random topics and laughing. I was so happy to be able to share the coping tools I learned in anxiety ( Read more... )

There's a passage in the gospel of John, wherein John rests his head on Jesus's chest and listens to the Master's heartbeat. It's one of the most endearing and comforting visuals in the entire Bible. Many nights as I lay my head down to end the day, I can picture my own heavy head resting not on a stack of pillows, but on my Saviour's heart, and I ( Read more... )

"I've been advised by The Poser to inform you that, unlike Brennan, who will admit he's an alcoholic, sober by the grace of God, I've never been drunk, never smoked, never slept with anyone but my wife, never cheated on a test, never shoplifted. You can see my record is quite clear, right?

Today begins the Curves 30 Day Challenge. Wee. I have no idea what's supposed to happen, but I'm going to walk up with Christopher today when he goes to work. I completely lost all motivation last week and only went two days, I think. I also had my period last week, so I think there may be a connection. I'm more excited this week ( Read more... )

I was so scared of Jesus but He sought me out ( Read more... )

So, I'm quite late on this bandwagon, but I just saw the trailer for the movie Fireproof yesterday and then found out that it's not showing in Canada. I'm very upset about that, because I really, really want to see it ( Read more... )

It's our First Wedding Anniversary! Christopher is working until 4 or so (he thinks, lol), and then we have dinner reservations for 7:30 at a restaurant called Il Fornello. I'm pretty excited. I haven't had good Italian food in a long while, and they're sure to have a new dish for me to try, should I be feeling adventurous tonight. Some dishes that ( Read more... )
