It’s a subtle and soft mixture of two cultures, two histories, but one land. Sometimes I feel like a foreigner here. Years ago in a different place I’d look at the houses tucked into the green whispering woods along the river and think that one day that I would be on the other side. But … Continue reading El Paso.

He is mine, and I am His.
The more I know Him, the more I want to know Him. The more I love Him, the more I want to love Him. It seems impossible that my heart can continue expanding in order to contain more love, and yet I know my love will never match the weight of His sacrifice. I am utterly … Continue reading He is mine, and I am His.
I can’t even.
I'm sitting here with a mess in my kitchen and a grad school to-do list a million miles long, and I'm just sobbing, completely overwhelmed by the spirit of God. I'm alone in my house, but I know I'm not really alone; I'm never alone. Today I had the opportunity to pray with a dear … Continue reading I can’t even.
Run When: Transmountain Challenge recap.
Run when you haven't trained in awhile. When I signed up for the Transmountain training group, I was more hopeful than nervous that it would help push me over the mountain. Aaron had just left and I needed something to keep me accountable, especially for long runs. Every long run was hilly except for when … Continue reading Run When: Transmountain Challenge recap.
First day of school… yet again
It has been waaaaaaay too long since I've been in the classroom. I worked at a tutoring chain for awhile and got to "teach" there, but it's just not the same as having your own little group of students that hopefully become like family by the end of the class.I have missed it so much. I … Continue reading First day of school… yet again
Response to “An Open Letter to Military Benefits Haters”
One of my fellow milspouse friends posted a link to this article. I encourage you to read it before continuing with my post. The tone of the article is quite snarky, but I have heard some quite snarky comments and misunderstood assumptions about the military lifestyle. So I thought I would elaborate, and share a little … Continue reading Response to “An Open Letter to Military Benefits Haters”
Twenty thirteen, a glimpse.
We're only three full days into the new year, but I have a feeling it's gonna be a good one. I've been thinking about what my resolutions are, what they should be, and I have resolved to not over-commit. I tend to do this, a lot. With work, friends, family, races... and most of the … Continue reading Twenty thirteen, a glimpse.
Jericho prayers
I wish I could say that all of these journals are full of answered prayer... big prayers. Crazy prayers. Gideon, David, Moses, Paul prayers. However, most of these journals aren't even half-full. There's a testament to the fact that I get really excited about writing, whether it's just journaling to myself, or writing down prayer … Continue reading Jericho prayers
To run or not to run
Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but running just hasn't felt like my thang recently. I like to run, but when I don't, I don't necessarily miss it. Since we've moved to El Paso, I haven't really successfully trained for a race besides the Fourth of July 5K, and that was because I was … Continue reading To run or not to run
First impressions
I've been a grad student for all of three days, and I'm five days behind everyone else since I was gone for a week. This week has felt so looooong! I've been to all my classes and met all my professors (all two of them, I have one for two classes) and so far I'm … Continue reading First impressions
