When you start telling people that you want to enter ordained ministry, they look at what is wrong or sinful about you. “Tamara, you can’t curse in the pulpit.” “you will never have sex again.” “Does this mean we can’t hang out anymore?” “I don’t know if I want to date a preacher.” “Does thisContinue reading “I needed to hear this one today”

Psalm 121
The thing about the discernment process is that life continues. I still try to date people, have friends, socialize go to a full time job and of course, watch Wimbledon on-line. The thing I suck at the most, is relationships. I recently found out that my ex is dating someone new–oh facebook. It was kindContinue reading “Psalm 121”
VOTER ID–It’s about integrity
I actually didn’t care about the Voter Id situation until I saw this video… Just saying.
Thirsting for God?
During my discernment presentation someone asked me, “How do you thirst for God?” I still have no idea how to answer that question. I don’t know if I understand it, but I decided to Google thirst in the bible and here are some versus that came up. Psalm 63: 1 You, God, are my God,Continue reading “Thirsting for God?”
The Dream Act
Ok, can we just take a moment to talk about the dream act. This is a law that was written by both parties in congress before Obama took office. Then when he takes office, all of a sudden republicans are all, “we didn’t sign up for that.” “we’ll give people a path to citizenship ifContinue reading “The Dream Act”

Yesterday I did my presentation for the discernment committee. I didn’t curse the entire time!!! Mission accomplished. I decided to talk about music campContinue reading “I made a choice”
Expectations cause pain
“We want it to be the way we expect it to look, not the way God designed it to be.” As stated by Iyanla Vanzant during the Oprah’s life class. This statement is so true. So tomorrow for my discernment presentation, I am going to start by playing “I surrender all.” It is an integralContinue reading “Expectations cause pain”
Surrender and brokenness
This Sunday is my turn to do a presentation for the discernment group. It’s a bit emotionally overwhelming to final be at the moment when I tell my story to a bunch of people I don’t really know. I am so happy I didn’t have to go first. But the person that did was aContinue reading “Surrender and brokenness”
The nuns get it right
I know that there are some out there that think that nuns are just mean old ladies that hit you with a ruler. But there are some really good things happening. The church doesn’t always get it right, but listening to God’s call always will. Check out these radical nuns and their fight for economicContinue reading “The nuns get it right”
God, new creation!
I find great comfort in this reflection from 6.17.12. In a time of great reflection and soul searching, I am reminded of how messed up I am. I got a lot of brokenness (now in comparison with a bunch of people, I’m pretty together), but isn’t that awesome–God loves me enough to help me carryContinue reading “God, new creation!”
