It snowed and snowed and snowed. Love.

 I am currently reading:

Advanced EMT: a clinical reasoning approach 

 Saying farewell to one of my mentors/friends/antagonist from work today. He's moving on to bigger and better things and I am stoked for how God worked everything out for him and his beautiful family, but I am bummed to be left behind.

 Thankful for this guideline for workouts. And an accountability partner. And youtube instruction videos.

 Stuck on another song. But you'll have to wait til Monday to find out which one. ;)

 Beyond stoked to see two of my best friends/brothers next week.

 Loving this self portrait I found on my camera. 






















Getting back in the groove of being a student.

 Blown away by this simple truth. "God is searching for people for whom he can show his strength...God aims to glorify himself in everything he does. And the glory of his self-sufficient power and wisdom shines most brightly not when he looks like he depends on the work of others, but when he makes plain that he himself does the work." -Piper
"From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has  seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him." Isaiah 64:4
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
 "casting all your anxieties on him [God], because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

Hello (a long, rambling introduction).

If you have been reading this blog for longer than two seconds, you most likely have been with me for some pretty painful blogging years (let's be real: they probably aren't over). Those early days -yikes. I have long held to the personal principal that I started this blog for fun, and that's how I want to keep it -however weird it may get at times. I don't want to feel like I have to produce content to keep up the page views or to sell a product or to get some Pinterest pins.  I think (ok KNOW) part of that is due to pride. In other words, if I am not feeling like I have anything to publish here that will be The Best, and get a lot of shares or comments or ... whatever... then I don't want to do it. A lot of what Amelia wrote recently resonated with me in that regard. I read a lot of blogs. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who blog. I am guilty of condescendingly rolling my internal eye-balls at people I feel like are just blogging to get the page c...
