With college graduation coming up in less than a month, most of my writing – actually ALL of my writing – has been confined to academic pursuits. However, I do have a small something to share! One of my final projects is a short, first-person, story. Here is the opening I’ve been working out. Enjoy!…

I hate to talk about my personal life on such a public forum as this, but God has been using my wiser, more mature boyfriend to teach me a great deal lately and I’m compelled to share the knowledge. I say “wiser” and “more mature” because, quite frankly, he is. My boyfriend (Ben) has spend…

Hello blogging world! It’s been a wee while. My life somehow amped to warp speed when I wasn’t looking! Why the busyness? I moved into my first apartment (in the process of getting settled), am taking summer classes (which will allow me to graduate a semester early – this December), and working two jobs (to…

Recently, I’ve been thinking about the paradox, “Opposites attract.” Why do opposites exist? What causes opposites to attract? How in the world are opposites supposed to work together?

As my last post was about patience, I thought it might be wise to couple that virtue with another one: perseverance. While patience suggests a sort of waiting for events to happen, perseverance suggests a working through events that are currently happening. I believe this season of life is teaching me that patience and perseverance…

My first Valentine’s Day rose. I’ve been thinking about patience – the art of waiting – a lot recently. Though I love my college experience, it’s sometimes difficult to remain in the “now”. Since I was a little girl, I loved to plan, to dream about what exciting event would come next. The older I’ve…

Hi everyone! I know, I know, it’s been forever since my last post. I feel like a bad parent! Rest assured that I’m working on new blog posts and, hopefully, the craziness we call ‘life’ will wind down just enough for me to share some new thoughts with you. Patience is a virtue! Haha. Always,…
