Well readers, remember that nice Christian post I wrote about my travel anxiety, brought on by an upcoming trip to New York City to visit my sister, and how I was going to trust that God would take care of me? Well, as the trip drew ever closer, I realized I have done a terribleContinueContinue reading “Trying to Leave My House on Grumble Street and Move to Sunshine Square”

I Don’t Want to Play the Game
On Monday January 28, our community woke up to a snowstorm. It seemed every school and business decided to close except the office where I work. I felt bad that my mom had to get outside early and shovel the snow off of our driveway because the neighbor we contract with to plow our drivewayContinueContinue reading “I Don’t Want to Play the Game”
My Dog Has a Spirit, Has a Name
SPOILER ALERT: This post is about the book, A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron. If you would like to read this book and don’t want the ending spoiled, do not read any further. About a year ago, I noticed that iTunes had a list of movies that were audio described for the blind. IContinueContinue reading “My Dog Has a Spirit, Has a Name”
A Vacation Full of Worry
Every week, I attend a women’s bible study at our church with my mom, and the family friend who gave us the bird clock. Right now, we are studying the book of Matthew, and in the last bible study before Thanksgiving, we studied Chapter 6 which includes countless truths about life, but the speaker forContinueContinue reading “A Vacation Full of Worry”
A Wonderful, Busy and Strange Holiday Season
Although my new lifestyle has been a significant life event for me, there were other moments that made this holiday season special that I wanted to update you on. Since stores start running Christmas commercials on Halloween, I might as well start with Halloween too. In 2014, my first attempt to live a healthy lifestyle,ContinueContinue reading “A Wonderful, Busy and Strange Holiday Season”
When it Comes to my Health, I Cannot Serve Two Masters
Given how I mentioned in my last post that I have felt a spiritual calling to live a healthier lifestyle, I think it is only appropriate to quote a bible verse I have been thinking about a lot lately from Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one andContinueContinue reading “When it Comes to my Health, I Cannot Serve Two Masters”
Food is for Sustenance, Not for Pleasure
One Sunday in Catholic Christian Formation class—I think it was in eighth grade—we were discussing something, and the teacher cited 1 Corinthians 6 19-20: Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you wereContinueContinue reading “Food is for Sustenance, Not for Pleasure”
Shall is a Mighty Word
As I mentioned back in February, I pursued a paralegal certificate from Milwaukee Area Technical College in 2014. In January when I started the program, I confess I was a little bit angry at God. After all, I had worked so hard, and pulled countless all-nighters to earn a Bachelors degree, and what did IContinueContinue reading “Shall is a Mighty Word”
A Re-kindled Appreciation for Part-time Work
A few weeks ago, the law firm where I work hired another person to exclusively file appeals for case managers, the same position as me. “Don’t worry,” my boss said cheerfully, “you will still be busy.” She was right. Social Security goes through busy periods where it seems like we are inundated with denial lettersContinueContinue reading “A Re-kindled Appreciation for Part-time Work”
On Memorial Day Weekend and Ultimate Hope
Well readers, remember this post in which I talk about how even for people who believe in the Restoration, it is all too easy to slip up and place our ultimate hope in the wrong things? I told you I would update you on whether I could adopt this eternal perspective when faced with disappointment,ContinueContinue reading “On Memorial Day Weekend and Ultimate Hope”
