Yesterday I bought Sadie Bratz sneakers. I told myself long ago I would not pay money for any Bratz products. Sadie has known since she was conscious that I didn’t like Bratz dolls. We’ve had many a discussion about why this is: they are too grown up, they wear too much make-up, and they look [...]

The Hole

I found a quote in Reader’s Digest (one of the many that I filched from the free table at the library…) that I loved so much I ripped it out of the book: “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not [...]
Wrestling with Graduate School
Posted in Calling, God, Learning, Mother-guilt, Motherhood, Ponderings, Theology, Who am I?, Writing on November 19, 2007 | 1 Comment »
So I’m thinking about graduate school. Thinking about it A LOT. My big worry is that I’ll look back and say ‘yeah, I got that degree, but I missed years of Sadie’s life.’ Because I’m not that good multi-tasking. I can be somewhat (ahem…) all or nothing. Balance is hard for me to come by [...]
The End, Finally.

Well, I finally came to the end the other night. I’ve been there before, and I don’t know why it always takes so long for me to get there. I’ve been inside my head for a few weeks, hearing the lying, evil thoughts that say I’m hopeless, that I will never change, that I’ll never [...]

Here is THE PAPER (warning: long)

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful “than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Matt. 3:11 NIV) Dotted across the hillside, sitting on blankets, all forty thousand [...]
The Paper
Posted in Anxiety, Essentials Class, Frustration, Learning, Mental health issues, Motivation, Procrastination, Theology, work, Writing on April 13, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I have a 7 page research paper due for my class today. Although I’ve had nothing but enthusiasm for the class, this task seemed daunting to me. Two days ago, I decided that I just wasn’t going to do it. I tried to start it and ended up crying with the hugeness of it all. [...]
To Know
Posted in God, Grace, Ponderings, Theology, Well-being, Who am I?, Wonder on April 2, 2007 | 3 Comments »
“Oh Lord, you have searched me, and you know me.” (Ps 139:1) I AM KNOWN. The person who is me is fully known by God. Someone does know all there is to know about me because He has taken the time for a careful search. He knows what makes me sad. What intrigues me. What [...]
The List

Another thing from my class: Olson 12: Journal Entry When I was in high school, the pinnacle of my high spiritual existence, I had a List. This List, though mental, and buried deep in my subconscious, contained all anyone needed to know about being a Christian. The first part was called “What you must do [...]
Catholic AND Protestant

Here is a journal entry I wrote for my class after I read about the Reformation. Knoll 9, 10 Journal Entry When I was in third grade at St. Leo’s Catholic Church, I remember thinking that if I stepped one toe into a Protestant church I would have to go to confession right away—as if [...]
