I meant to finish this *before* Christmas was over, but I digress. Sigh. It’s been a long day (albeit a very lovely one 🙂 ). This morning, I was outside with one of my dogs, Jennie (my blue heeler mix). She was, per usual, trying to get into something under the carport. I started calling… Read More He’s Here [Emmanuel]

My heart just won’t quick hurting. I’ve been in a state of on and off tears all day. All I want to do is scream. These kind of tragedies just don’t make any damn sense. It leaves us with too many questions and not enough answers. 20 children. CHILDREN. Gone.  Small precious lives, that just… Read More it just doesn’t make sense.

AHHHHHHHHHHH. ^That sums up my feelings right now, in a nutshell.  I’ve feel like I’m caught between a crossroads. Part of me can’t believe it’s December and in the matter of a week I’m home for the semester.  The other, slightly more sane part of me is ready to bolt out the door and skip… Read More the wanderer

2 posts in a week-either I have a lot to say this week, or I’m just procrastinating. I’ll let you be the judge. 🙂 So, the song Called Me Higher by All Sons & Daughters plus Love Does by Bob Goff have kinda wrecked my life this weekend. How about yours? All Sons & Daughters… Read More Called me higher

I don’t think I’ve ever loved sleep more in my life than I have this semester. It may be my workload, the stress of classes, or some other factor, but I have been yawning almost continuously and take advantage of nearly every free minute to nap. I seriously think one thing we forget that God… Read More give me rest, and give me Jesus

It’s been a whirlwind of a month, that’s for sure. Seriously. I can’t believe November is almost here, and this semester is almost over. (Holy crap). Right now, I’m wrestling with lots of decisions. Mainly, the decision of my major. Though I don’t have to declare (yet!), that date is coming close, and if I… Read More decisions, decisions

Does anyone else find comfort in seeing stars at night? I always have. There’s just something magical about them to me-they may always be there, but seeing them just makes me happy. It’s hard living in a big city/suburb, where the sky is normally too hazy for me and my nearly blind self to see… Read More Seeing stars

                              But I never                      turned my back on my faith,     and I know God hasn’t              written me off, either.        … Read More Tenacious

So, not gonna lie: this was one of the best weeks I’ve had in awhile, and definitely the best week since I’ve been back at Lipscomb. Visits from friends and family (some expected, most not), lots of beautiful music (ah, choir music-there’s nothing quite like it!), plus things going actually as I needed/expected them to… Read More happy days are here again.

Meant to write this last night while it was fresh on my mind, but alas. Procrastination and forgetfulness caught the best of me as I wrote an extra credit paper for Bible instead at midnight. 🙂 Welcome back to college, Jordan. Anywho. On to what’s on my mind. For those that know me at all… Read More Stories.
