I worry about things.  A lot.  It's like this crazy little roller coaster ride.  I'm at peace, I'm worried, I'm freaked out, and then I'm at peace again because God always pulls through and always shows me just what I need exactly when I need it.  But I'm still creeping up on the "whoa... wait... what's happening...AHHH!!!" phase.  I know I'll ( Read more... )

I feel like God has allowed me to experience and appreciate the "rhythm" of life over the past few years. Sometimes that rhythm is awkward and uncomfortable. Sometimes that rhythm is frustrating because it doesn't seem to fit with my plans... but recently it has been a gradual progression of beginnings and changes that I've learned to ( Read more... )

Although I don't agree with all of her philosophies, beliefs, and opinions... there is something that is very profound and beautiful about the life of Oprah Winfrey. Yes, she's one of the most influential and wealthiest people on the planet.... but beyond the glitz, glamour and fame is a woman whose story is an example of what it means to ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm ending my first 7 weeks on a good note.  This past week it seems like I was constantly on the go... always some place to be, a person to meet with, a task to accomplish.  It's good though.  I like staying busy, but I can tell that I need to monitor this in the future.  There's nothing wrong with taking time for Deanna.  I need ( Read more... )

I made it safely to Memphis around 9:30pm on Saturday evening.  There was something kind of nice about driving up I-40 and rolling over the Memphis bridge to a vision of downtown.  It was like a small twinge of accomplishment, victory, and other cheesy feelings that one might experience as they are coming home for the first time in a long time ( Read more... )

I wish I could say that the reason I am sitting at my desk, filling up the blank space on this "Post an Entry" page, is because I have something profound (possibly at a theological or reflective level) to say.  Sadly, that is not what I'm able to bring to the table.  In fact, this is bound to be your classic case of "Rambling".

Well here we are, down to the final full 3 days in Memphis.  These past 20 days have gone by so fast and I can't help but feel frustrated with myself that I didn't get very much done.  It's ok... even though I might not feel as "accomplished" as I'd like to have been, I am thankful for the events of the past 3-4 weeks.

This evening I happened to ( Read more... )

It has been a really long time since I've updated my online journals.  I had actually planned on writing at least ONCE during that 2 week break, or at least during my week in Texas, but alas it didn't happen.  So sorry about that... I'd like to say I'll be writing a little more often from now on, but I'm afraid that might not happen.

This will ( Read more... )

While I was doing some of my usual Sunday "walking arounds" I started thinking about where I am as an almost 23 year old.  I have to admit... I´m actually pretty happy with where I am.  It might not be what I had imagined for myself a year ago, but there´s no doubt in my mind that I am exactly and most definitely where I am supposed to be.
