On the Road Again – August 11, 2011
I both hate and love traveling. I love the excitement of exploring a new place – even an airport. Especially when said airport has yummy french cafes and birds that fly around inside (Terminal 5 at JFK). But trying to sleep on a plane? The worst. I’ve tried it all, but nothing works. Yet, a…

Writing a Successful Blog – August 4, 2011
I met with a friend for lunch yesterday. It was a time to catch up, but also to talk about blogging. I have been more intentional about blogging this past month (mostly because I have had the time in which to do so) and she wanted to pick my brain for any suggestions as she…

Sings My Heart – August 3, 2011
Sometimes I find a song that just sings my heart. Somehow it perfectly captures my feelings and expresses them in ways in which I am unable to. It is difficult to explain how or why these moments occur. I only know that I feel understood, expressed, known. The weird thing is, so often these songs…

Darn My Stubborn Pride – July 20, 2011
Disclaimer: I make strong statements about things I dislike. Please don’t take offense if something you like is mentioned. My roommate recently turned me onto the show “Gilmore Girls”. I’m not quite sure how I let her do it, as I had no interest in the show. In my mind, it was some show…

Milk Was a Bad Choice… – July 13, 2011
Yesterday I was doing some work for one of my jobs before heading to the gym. I go to a turbo kick boxing class every Tuesday night (the highlight of my day). Now, by my admitting this, you may have some fear over my fierceness. “You want to go to McDonalds for dinner?” Round house…

Fear and Loathing in Vocational Wanderings – July 11, 2011
About a year and a half ago I took a course on vocation. It was a deeply meaningful class to me. One of our assignments was to spend time in prayer with the Lord on various aspects of our vocation. This morning I read through those prayer projects. I think I was able to see…

Hey Friends, So, back in December I began working as an administrative assistant for the Career Development department at Biola University. Our whole department is taking turns writing blogs for our website and today my post went up. Check it out! Or you can view here: A big question many ask is, “What…

Infinite – January 23, 2011
I have a friend, who was recently telling me how God is calling him to learn to receive love and care from God and others. I was excited to hear this for a few reasons. First, he is such a caring person, always giving to others, and I think it wonderful for him to get…

He Set Us Up the Bomb – December 2, 2010
The other night I was praying as I drove home. I know – how pious of me. Earlier, I’d heard some news that caused me to feel hope over something I’d been praying about the last few months (could I be any more vague?). My prayer to the Lord as I drove home was “Please…

Baccalaureate – the extended edition – May 27, 2010
Tonight was my baccalaureate ceremony in which I was hooded (insert various jokes here). It was a very dear, special night, surrounded by very dear, special people. Each graduate was allowed to submit a note of thanks, which was read while the individual walked across the stage to be hooded. We were limited to 95…
