By the grace of God, I have successfully completed my first week of law school! After years of planning, there was a lot of anticipation, but it was an exciting time filled with lots of reading, new people and very little sleep. I’ll make another post later (at my rate, next month) about how I decided to go to law school and the absolute process that it was, but here is what I learned in just the first week. You…
I didn’t know that I would pause this long when Chester Bennington passed. Introduced to the band in middle school, I’ve always known Linkin Park as a collective so I didn’t know Chester’s name, even though he was the lead singer. But I learned that he was the voice behind one of my favorite songs, which I now realize came out in 2008 during the undisputed worst year of my life. “Leave Out All the Rest.” Chester’s pained and passionate…
Someone gave a prayer request on Saturday and, in it, mentioned that she’s not going to be here much longer. The prayer request wasn’t about that and as far as we know, she’s healthy. In fact, she has a remarkable testimony about healing from cancer decades ago. For those reasons, people poked some fun at her about her little clause.

When you put something on everything, you know it’s real. This song is in my head so I can’t let today end without doing My Music Monday and introducing you to this group. First: This was called New Music Monday, but I just now changed it to My Music Monday because the songs may not always be new music, but they may be new to you. At the very least, my thoughts on it are new. All in all, it…
It’s Saturday night and the long day means that sleep is burning in my eyes with another long but fulfilling day promised tomorrow. Every moment that I’m awake, it burns a little more, but I can’t go to sleep just yet. I promised myself that I would launch this blog by January 15, 2017. As of right now, I have 48 minutes left to be a woman of my word—to myself—so here it goes. After following God’s leading and attending…
