Tomorrow I'm going to Mass. Afterward, I meet with the priest to discuss RCIA. I'm definitely excited. Today we went gift shopping for A's birthday, and then C grilled burgers. It's a sunny, happy Saturday. This week has been busy. I went to a mom group meeting with my neighbor. There were some really nice … Continue reading Long Week

Prayer
I don't know about you, dear reader, but I need a better prayer life. We often think of praying as something you do alone, down on your knees or lying in bed. But if you only pray when you're in one of those two positions, you will not pray enough. After all, life is busy. … Continue reading Prayer
Bible Journaling Life
Bible journaling is life changing. I've never felt closer to God or more engrossed in His word. I'm having a hard time doing other things because I just want to be in my Bible! I'm making washi tape tabs and using highlighters more than I ever have in my life! I have clear tip highlighters … Continue reading Bible Journaling Life
Bible Journaling
I have finally done a couple of simple Bible journaling pages with highlighter, gel pen, watercolor, and pictures of flowers. I covered a page about blood sacrifice in red. I started in Deuteronomy because it isn't exactly my favorite book of the Bible, so I'm less worried about messing up. I also think it might … Continue reading Bible Journaling
Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
I've been making videos and trying to figure out what I want my channel to be when I have so many passions. One idea forming slowly in my mind is that I should have the channel be about faith and the creative life. There's not enough creativity in the church right now, and too few … Continue reading Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
I was 18. It was the winter of my senior year of high school. I was sitting in my room hiding from the gray weather and my family. A voice spoke to me and said, "Go to the church," and told me to take my camera. I said no. It was cold, I didn't like … Continue reading The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
New Church
We ended up trying a new church this morning because our church was shut for the Fall retreat we didn't go on. We went to a church far away, because it was the denomination we wanted, which is hard to find. When I tell you this church was wonderful, it lacked nothing. The service was … Continue reading New Church
Dogs, Church, Park
I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park
Benefits of Headcovering
God has called me to wear headcovers. I strive to wear them whenever I go out and frequently when I'm in the house as well. I take them off to eat because I don't want to accidentally drop anything on one, and sometimes I take them off when I'm with my dogs so that they … Continue reading Benefits of Headcovering
Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
For the first time, I really realize how important the parable of the wedding banquet is. A man who does not have wedding clothes is spotted at a wedding celebration (and he had already declined to attend),and cast outside where there is gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus says "Many are invited, few are chosen." If … Continue reading Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
