• New car, new classes, and no time

  September 7, 2010

  It's been a crazy couple weeks with not a lot of time to be online! The engine of my mommy-mobile crapped out last week. It started shaking violently and making scary noises. My van was a gift from the in-laws, which was lovely of them, although it's not like they went and picked out a…

• My God is a crutch

  August 19, 2010

  I was talking to a friend the other day and without thinking I said that I was praying for the strength to get through my final week of classes. I say "without thinking" because I normally choose my words carefully around my non-believer friends so as to avoid a debate, and in many case...

  I love my church. Back when I was looking for a church home, I really didn't think it was necessary. I have always felt like faith is just a personal thing, and having a church would give me a community but not really add to my faith in any way. I was totally wrong. Yes,…

  My girl is back to normal. She still has a tiny fever, but is acting completely like herself. This morning she was bouncing all over the living room and shouting "I being a tigger!!" But I'm not back to normal at all. I can't stop picturing her in the middle of her seizure. I can't…

  Yesterday began normally...I heard Maddy start to wake up, so I made her breakfast and then went and got her from her room.  She felt really warm, so I took her temperature and found out that she had a fever. No big deal, she's 2 and gets little fevers all the time. So I thought nothing...

• Frickin subjective grading (EDIT)

  August 2, 2010

  I love being a computer programming major. If I do my work and learn the material, and if my programs run the way they're supposed to, I get good grades. It doesn't matter what the professor thinks of me, it doesn't matter if my professors are having a bad day or whatever, if I get…

• An answer to prayers (EDIT)

  July 25, 2010

   I love to sing. Music is one of the ways I can feel closest to God, and always has been. Even back before I became a Christian, when I went to the services in college (my friends dragged me) I felt so much peace during the songs, and felt this sort of presence in the…

• Ghosts of failures past

  July 22, 2010

   I got a letter in the mail completely out of the blue yesterday. The first sentence said "Our records indicate that you have been withdrawn from (removing name of my school) College." This came as quite a surprise, since I'm enrolled full-time for the fall, and in fact am currentl...

  July 19, 2010

  Some days I love being a baby Christian. I feel like the fact that I arrived at my faith as an adult, and against my family's wishes, makes me stronger in it. I haven't yet reached a place of complacency, and I'm always trying to learn more, to read everything I can get my hands…
