>Anxiety = antithesis of faith
>This principle has really been impressed upon my spirit lately. I'm not even sure how to go about blogging about it simply because there's just so much to say about faith and believing God and anxiety.It is a command in Philippians 4 to not worry, but in everything, pray. From Blue Letter Bible:It is not … Continue reading >Anxiety = antithesis of faith
>A few favorite things
> Button-down sweaters. Most of these are from Target. I haven't paid more than $14 for any of them. The hoodie is my VS Pink Army one that Aaron got me for Christmas. My students can tell you that I looooove big earrings. Here is my stash, which I don't pay more than $4 a pair for. … Continue reading >A few favorite things
>Thoughts on a long drive home
>Last night I drove home from Elgin all by myself in the dark. Roughly three and a half hours. Not a big deal, right? Wrong. It was a mental test. Proceed with caution as these are the true, unadulterated and obnoxious thoughts of a paranoid driver alone at night. Mile markers are approximate.

Now the list holds 157 families all waiting to get to Korea to be with their soldier. Maybe some of them are already there, just waiting for command sponsorship to go … Continue reading >In everything, give thanks; and meet Elizabeth the homebody
>Created for relationship
>Though I work early-ish tomorrow and have a busy weekend ahead, I can't help but get some thoughts down about relationship.We were created in God's image. We were created for two types of relationships: one with the Lord and one with people. To live a fulfilled life with a purpose, one has to have both.I … Continue reading >Created for relationship
>The compassion of Jesus
>[[I started this blog last night]]I have to admit, I've never always had a "passion for the lost". It used to be just a bunch of buzz words to me. In all honesty, in the past I'm not sure I really cared, even in the same breath that I said I loved Jesus. But as … Continue reading >The compassion of Jesus
>A new goal
>After talking with Aaron about finding races to run in Korea, we opted to start training soon for the Seoul International Marathon next spring (March). This race has about 30,000 runners from all over the world, though most are Korean. You run through the city, among places of fame and history, and finish the race … Continue reading >A new goal
>If My people pray
>Just a quick post. Believing while praying is so essential, and I can't believe I went the first 23-ish years of my life without truly believing what I was praying most of the time. It's incredible the results that follow! Here are my experiences in prayer lately:If you pray for patience, the Lord will let … Continue reading >If My people pray
