Saturday Things

I'm currently ignoring the stack of dishes in the kitchen because, well, I hate doing dishes. 
But I also wanted to share some things that I have been loving lately, or maybe just made me stop and think.

I love the imagery of this song: What Love, My God. 
Also, Easter is SO SOON! Time is flying, people. 
(This entire playlist by City Alight has been on repeat in my house for most of this month. Check it out!) 



Also, a couple of belated podcasts listens. 
First, this interview with the She Reads Truth ladies on Lent.
And second, this conversation about small talk by the Way Fam. I am a self-proclaimed extroverted introvert, and if it is up to me to start a conversation with a complete stranger 99.9% of the time it ain't gonna happen. However, I get frustrated with silly "how are you" conversations and struggle big time with making conversations more meaningful -both with strangers and with friends. This podcast had some good thoughts on the subject.


This photograph from the recent attacks in London really resonated with me for some reason. I think its because that's what so many spaces look like after the fight for somebody's life happens in EMS. Controlled chaos. And that's the reality every EMS worker has to face -whether a life was saved or not, you still have to go back and clean up and put everything back together so that you're ready for the next call out. 

That's all I got, folks.
Cheers to the weekend (or, your work week. whatever it is for you.)

Thanks for the podcast recs! I actually just listened to the Way Fam one as my very first podcast. So there's that. I think about small talk a lot (as we've discussed before, I'm sure) and this was helpful to me! I think about the people I know who are great conversationalists and that I never feel like they are asking "too much," so why can't I ask those same things? I'm thinking them, so why not ask? HA!

Five Minute Friday: After

Image
It's the week After Easter... Resurrection Sunday... celebration of New Life and Power over Death.  Last week was good.  I had some good reads last week: Love to the Uttermost , The Jesus Storybook Bible , Galatians , John , The Story of Hope .  I listened to a Resurrection playlist that was over 8 hours long so I don't think that I ever made it all the way through.  I had encouraging time with my church family here as we celebrated the Truth of the Gospel. And now, the Week After, I am feeling a little ...overwhelmed? let down?   Because After Easter I have only 3 weeks left of class.  And After Easter I only have one week left with my Moving Friends.  And After Easter I only have a month left with Friends who are here for school.  And After Easter life seems so.... well. anti climactic?  Which is all ridiculous because the whole beautiful thing about the week after the Resurrection is purpose and hope  Before it was me the hopeless and helpless los

[I've started this post about three times now, and I realize it's nothing new, but it's been on my mind for a while now. Sorry in advance for how disconnected it seems. You can bear with me or bail out now. The choice is up to you ;) ] It was just yesterday that I was sitting criss cross applesauce in the middle of my living room floor, multitasking. Some like to call it ADD. I prefer "multitasking." Music, social networking, reading a book, something on the TV, ticket shopping... all these distractions from what my mind was mulling over and over. A friend and I were walking the other night, just like old times, after the town had gone to sleep, when the stars were bright and the moon was full. The trees were dripping and the sidewalk was sloppy... it was such a reminiscent time of the past four-ish years of our lives that we have spent in this town. I know that when I think of summer nights, I'm going to think of this time of life. When it's war

The Best Day Ever

Image
Holy smokes, it's been a year already! You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun! ;) Since I didn't really blog at all about the Best Day Ever that happened last year, I thought I would steal a Q&A idea from some of my favorite photographers . We both answered these questions separately, so it was fun to get together and read our answers and pick pictures. :) Note: all pictures in this post by the one and only Clara Williams Photography. What was the most memorable moment?  Liz:  So many moments to choose from! Here's a few that stand out:  My nephew Jared and new B.I.L, Joel, caught a baby rabbit and brought it to me while the girls and I were getting ready (it was sooooo soft!).  My original B.I.L, Jason, "You're a mess!" as he attempted to clean grass that had gotten stuck in my dress train when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle.  Praying with my dad and mom just before we went down
