Me: All Growed Up

My lanta! FOUR years? HOW?

I absolutely love that this blog is still here (especially after mourning my xanga presence...RIP).

Things are a little different now.
I'm almost 30.
I live in my dream apartment.
I'm the Director of Community Engagement at a nonprofit in Oklahoma City.
I ran another half marathon.
I wear glasses.
I traveled...everywhere.
I started volunteering at a Children's Hospital.
I overcame sincere fears of airports and hospitals.
I started a Master's program.
I loved. I lost. I ate. I slept. I danced. I laughed. I giggled.
I stopped drinking coffee for a month...WHAT...it's been wild.

Jesus is still my fuel and people are still me passion.

Last post, I talked about the identity of this blog.
Where was it going? What will it center around?

I do that a lot. I want to do something and then I talk it to death.
What's the central idea?! What's the plan?! How many times will I commit to post?!
What's my big picture goal?! Should I pursue readership?!

It is NOT bad to want to plan and have action steps.
I think I sometimes use it as a crutch.

Things will be a little different now.
I'm just going to write, and you can read it.
No expectations. No excuses.
Just Heart Juice.......ya know...out of the heart the mouth speaks...ya squeeze the heart..ya get juice...it's gross, but I'm going with it...

We'll see where this leads.

Let me know how I can be praying for you!

Reason for the Season

"We love because HE FIRST LOVED us." 1 John 4:19 We are called to do as Christ did; Love...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say that enough times. We are called to LOVE everyone. Love your fellow humans. There is absolutely NO reason to not love someone ESPECIALLY after you FIRST meet them. WHat have they done to you at that point that merits a no-love response? I'm not calling any one person out, I'm just sayin: If we are to truly live out a CHRISTian walk.....we best be lovin' on peole. CHRISTmas is a time of celebration for what our God has done for us. "For He SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that who so ever BELIEVES in Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16 The God of the UNOVERSE Loved YOU enough to send His Son to the Earth, live a human life, with human temptation, and die on a cross as YOUR scape goat. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Some people cannot wrap their minds around someone loving them that much bec...

December :)

October is my favorite month, but December...oh December.....it makes me heart so happy. It's like the cute boy in your boring class who just makes it worth it. ......an oatmeal cream pie following a rigorous workout. Vanilla Raspberry Black Coffee at 5:30am.... ....a hug on a less-than-stellar day... ...a dress with pockets.... You get it. December is FANTASTIC! I am challenging myself to blog every day in December. As most of you have realized, I am a truly awful blogger when it comes to my consistency. I look at this challenge as a way to work on my reliability and commitment issues :) I'm glad I have YOU to hold me accountable :)

Wanted: Colorado Mountain Man

I found this title fitting because of my crazy urge to hike up mountains lately! (and because Dear Darci and I joked about this being the name of my blog, becuase, let's face it, that's my type :]) I realize I have three days to catch you up on, here we go, lightning round style! Sunday: Went to Mountain View Bible Fellowship right down the mountain from the Inn. I was a little nervous, but it's God's House and God's family....hopefully I'd be welcome. God blessed me with the most wonderful older women. One of them called after me as I walked in exclaiming that she did not know my face. Her name is Joyce and her and her husband lived in Waco the first three years they were married. She did not enjoy it and she has no problem letting me know that. She has been going to this church since 1962. Insert Barbie (wearing an ironic pink skirt suit) her and Joyce have been best friends since the 70's. Joyce then begins to introduce me to nearly every member of the co...
