Top Ten Thursday

Introducing... Top Ten Thursdays: the top ten coolest things of the week. Not just acknowledging but owning the fact that my workplace is my M field; this simple shift in my outlook has helped me to not only show greater love and exude pure joy, but to be a better worker, which is honoring to Him who placed me there. Realizing that since I've been focused on Him this week, I've struggled less with distractions and temptations.   Praise. Worship night, tea party, and life group this week.  I don't have enough fingers to count all the amazing people the Lord has placed in my life through these things. New friends and heart-to-hearts and time with God. Hiking with coworkers after my shift today.  Trekked up a large hill, saw an awesome bird, and soaked up the sun while talking about cardboard bicycles (they're real). Given more responsibilities at work. New bangs.  And they're really fun. Dinner & dessert in the Circle with an old friend. Quality God ti

{Psalm 8}

I will always be grateful for this season of life.  It is definitely not where I imagined myself now, and it is definitely not how I would have planned it for myself, but it is so beautiful.  So desperately , perfectly beautiful, in a very countercultural way.  You see, I thought I'd be married right now.  I never set many career goals.  I never had any financial plans.  I just wanted to be married and a mom.  Wh

I Hear a Voice, and He Calls Me 'Redeemed'

-
These past two weeks have been an absolute roller coaster.  I have become extra familiar with the third floor of the old building at the hospital (and pretty much every other floor).  The change in my appetite has thrown me for a loop, and my cup of grace is dwindling.  My supply of tears has somehow grown and has spilled over more times than I would have imagined possible.  Today I finally recognized some of the lies that the enemy has been trying to tell me, and I want nothing more than to renounce them.  Rather than writing the lies I've battled this week, I'm writing the truths God tells me instead. I am strong . Where I am weak, God is glorified ; my weaknesses are never in vain, Satan cannot capitalize on them if I lay them at Jesus' feet. My life doesn't have to be in perfect order before I am qualified to help people. It is okay to cry in the middle of a church service (and not everyone is looking). I am not alone. I am called out, I have a p
