Long time, no see (read: post). I just re-read my last post, and I'd like to say so much has changed, and it definitely has, but at times I still feel like I'm in that somewhere between place even though it's now year two of teaching, advising yearbook, and being a true adult. This past … Continue reading Teaching Moments
When I was in high school, I compared my first real relationship to a glass box in one of my early journals. I thought everything was so clear and perfect, or so it seemed, and I knew with one wrong move it could shatter. It did – over and over. But that’s what glass does. … Continue reading Broken Glass
I need to tell ya’ll a story about a 15-year-old girl and Psalm 37, specifically verse 4, which says, “Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” This girl was faced with a big decision when the spring of her sophomore year of high school was nearing an … Continue reading And He Will Give You the Desires of Your Heart
That’s right. Did you ever think you would see the day that John Tucker and Sabrina would come together? I didn’t, but that’s exactly what happened last night. And truthfully, it’s not that simple. It wasn’t John Tucker but Jesse Metcalfe, and it wasn’t Sabrina but Melissa Joan Hart. They were together, acting on … Continue reading When John Tucker Defends Sabrina the Teenage Witch
For seven weeks now, I’ve worked out 3-4 times a week. And just a week ago, my boyfriend and I committed to truly eating healthy. It’s hard (I’m on a greens and chicken overload and thinking about it makes me nauseous so thank goodness tonight was cheat night). But I am learning a lot about … Continue reading You Are Not Your Own

I’m anxious about the future of my sorority. I’m … Continue reading Jesus Freak
Proverbs 9:9 says, “Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.” This semester, I am (basically) a teacher. I’m scared and overwhelmed, but I’m also ready. I have four beautiful baby Phis in my New Member Education Program, I’m teaching the fifth book of … Continue reading To Be Wise
An end of the year/end of the semester post is due, but I haven’t quite been sure where to start. I’ve learned a lot – I’m always learning – and somehow this chapter of my life has left me feeling confident and confused, whole and broken. But very fulfilled. Is that possible? As far as … Continue reading 3,456 Miles
