One of the most important things we are able to do as humans that set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is reflect. We can look into the past and remember in order to make the present or future different. It's how we learn about ourselves and the world around us. These … Continue reading BONUS POST: Narratives we tell ourselves

Breaking News: “Top Nine” Doesn’t Capture Most Important Moments
I use Instagram fairly regularly, probably with more regularity now that I have opted out of Facebook. I know, I know, Instagram is owned by Facebook blah blah blah. Everyone's been posting their "Top Nine" recently - the most liked photos in their feeds. Once again, social media panders and quite frankly takes advantage of … Continue reading Breaking News: “Top Nine” Doesn’t Capture Most Important Moments
Approaching homecoming
Shoot, guys. It's coming up fast. According to my nifty countdown app, we are at 4% left. However, do not be fooled by my technological prowess, friends. I do have a calendar on the wall and I've been crossing off days with a Sharpie since I hung it up January 1. Before we actually went … Continue reading Approaching homecoming
Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I’m a control freak.
With winter break behind us, I've had some time, weeks even, to ponder things... events, ideas, prayers. So far my year of no resolutions is going great thankyouforasking... and I have to tell you that my one resolution was to make the bed every day. And as of Day 22 of 2014, I've succeeded. đ … Continue reading Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I’m a control freak.
Half-a-versaries and grad school…. what?!
So much is happening this week! I'm not even in school and I can feel the stress of the holiday season. This weekend we have two parties to attend, one of which we still need to buy for. Next week, things should calm down somewhat. Aaron will be working half-days and we don't have tutoring … Continue reading Half-a-versaries and grad school…. what?!
Bataan Training: Week 5 :: Sighhh, and other stories.
This week definitely wasn't glamorous, running or otherwise. Thankful I got in my three runs [3 mile recovery, 5 mile pace @ 11:00, 2 mile interval training]. We opted to do our long run tomorrow morning. Yes, that's nine miles before the sun even comes up. It's been an emotionally stressful week.  Work has been no … Continue reading Bataan Training: Week 5 :: Sighhh, and other stories.
Just enough
Just enough... like $3.46 in your checking account until payday after all bills and expenses are paid... like older cars that run on prayer and get us places... like just enough patience to get through the end of the work day... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last night at church we had a celebration called Taste of the Nations, … Continue reading Just enough
Being a servant
I look at my recent posts and I'm surprised, and not surprised, that I've posted about once a week. What is that?! Usually I have a lot more to say. But as it stands, I've been learning a big lesson on how to be a servant. I can thank my current job for that. I … Continue reading Being a servant
>Decompressing… ahhhh.
>My poor husband, seriously. I've been going crazy making lists and just being, well, for lack of better terms, OCD, about moving. Tomorrow the movers come and we are more than prepared. Everything's off the walls, we have our clothes packed, and most of my list is crossed off (you know that means it's a good … Continue reading >Decompressing… ahhhh.
>Wanted: Conflict Manager
>I'm glad I went to small group tonight. We discussed a lot of issues pertaining to trust, relationships, and resolving conflict. In third grade, we had a program at our school called "conflict managers" where we were coached in how to effectively resolve conflict and other kids would come to us with their problems. If … Continue reading >Wanted: Conflict Manager
