Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return
YES!! It has come again, Ash Wednesday. I know that it seems strange to some people, but I love me some Lent. I just am so excited in this season, the fear of doing a practice that might fail completely, the time to reflect on one’s life, the constant look at mortality, the obsession withContinue reading “Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return”
John 4:13-14. Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty.
I struggle with this. I know that the spirit of the Living God is all around me. I feel it when I open myself to the possibility. But Food often feels like so much of a better substitute than being in communion with Jesus. To do that I must be in silence, face the fears,Continue reading “John 4:13-14.

Emerging
This summer I decided not to make any major life decisions. Not to work on myself. I wouldn’t go to therapy or care about how often I went to the bar or any of these things. Just have a fun summer. Then I went to music camp and started to write. I was broken open.Continue reading “Emerging”

So here’s the thing, I really like this guy and he has a girlfriend and he was totally flirting with me. So I flirted back. And we would make an awesome couple. But myContinue reading “Should you ever be a stalker?”
Can you hear me now?
This summer, I made the decision that I would not do any work on me this summer. Basically, I would just go to bars with friends, and flirt with men and have fun. It is to be in a way the kind of life that I never got to really fully engage in when IContinue reading “Can you hear me now?”
Prayers for Dark People
Yesterday at my spiritual direction meeting, I discussed my current issues with prayer. The other night I was saying my prayers before falling asleep and felt like I was talking to nothing, no one. Nothing was there. I have been feeling a very silent God in my life at this moment and this is oneContinue reading “Prayers for Dark People”
How do you listen?
It has now been a while since I got my, “we don’t see a call letter” and I am still trying to listen and then make a decision about what I am hearing. On one hand, I feel like God is calling me to stay where I am. There is so much work that canContinue reading “How do you listen?”
