You wouldn't think the two would go together, pregnancy and war, but oh, they do. From the minute I started even thinking my body might be hosting a new life in the near future, I started preparing. I started taking prenatal vitamins 4 months (yes, pretty much right when we got engaged) before the wedding, … Continue reading My Birth Story, Part I: Pregnancy and War

Fighting For Peace
There's a fine, dotted line between letting something go and standing up for oneself. It feels like a seesaw, where it's not any fun when you're always letting things go and becoming a bitter pushover, and it's no fun at all to make a fuss over every bump on the road. A wise man once … Continue reading Fighting For Peace
DAILY DEVOS RETURN…
As you all know, the #ATLdevo began back in September of 2014, and ran until about August 2015. Every single day, I made it a discipline to write what I was learning with Jesus, and posted it ONLINE, and not only that, but delivered every morning to the inboxes of 80+ people. NO PRESSURE! The … Continue reading DAILY DEVOS RETURN…
Change of Plans
Today was a stressful day. It shouldn't have been. I like to say that when life bumps you, what's inside spills over. Today, I got a reality check, and what spilled wasn't pretty. It was worry, anxiety, and frustration. I was able to hand more of that over to God, and the hand-off was not … Continue reading Change of Plans

Blame it on me not getting any new leaders for Phylla House and feeling like a plastic bag about that... I understood the Katy Perry song … Continue reading Don’t Lose the Fire
Crying, Birthing, & Dating
I found myself on the floor, weeping. I hadn't cried that hard in a long, long time. I dare say it's been years since I've cried so hard, for so long. My body shook with sobs. Snot was everywhere. As the tears rolled, because of how I was kneeling, they went up to my eyebrows … Continue reading Crying, Birthing, & Dating
Yolo, Dating, and Starting Over
I've blogged before about 5 dating tips. I've given you a blog about how a man should pursue a woman. I've talked about how I sorta believe there is a "one" out there. And here I find myself single at 27, not like that's a problem. You see, I am a scientist, through and through. … Continue reading Yolo, Dating, and Starting Over
Memory
Today I was supposed to get 3 things done, and I got none of them done. I ate about 60% of a truffle mousse cake from Kroger and I watched Netflix. I spent time reading Romans and being soothed by Steffany Gretzinger's angelic voice. I rocked in my hammock, and hung out with the new … Continue reading Memory
