I have several friends who are in crisis right now. They are begging God to move. For some relief. Some are feeling utterly abandoned by Him. I’ve been so frustrated alongside them. Doesn’t God want to offer them healing, protection, hope? Why, Lord, do you seem distant? Why do you delay?

Idk why it took me this long to realize that I am a grown up and can eat strawberries with Nutella whenever I want.

I can even keep eating Nutella out of the jar if I want.

Not that I would or anything.

Texted my boss to say I’m at capacity—been so busy and mentally reached my limit this weekend. Told him my plan was to skip my meetings and crash at a coffee shop to work this morning.
His response? “I affirm this plan!”
I am really grateful for that kind of healthy work environment.

The temps are in the 30s. Rain expected.
Naturally my kid has a baseball game this morning.

Just realized tonight is my 3rd evening at home for the month of Feb. (travel, school, work, small group, Bible study, family dinner, etc.)

It’s slowing down a bit (for my friends who were about to text me, don’t worry), which is good. But sheesh—no wonder I’ve been tired.

Multiple times today I’ve thought, “Good thing it’s almost the weekend.”

Reader, it is Monday.

What is one to do upon realizing at 10:44pm that you are completely out of coffee for the morning?

Scream into the void?

I’m writing my first paper for seminary and am finding it challenging to switch modes from Bible teacher to academic. I write Bible lessons every week, but writing a theological brief is not the same. My brain is not cooperating.

I love airports. People are fascinating and beautiful.

Highly recommend receiving the Eucharist on a Monday afternoon.

Needed it.

Just watched a Belted Kingfisher dive into the water 3 times so I’m happy as a lark.

Been working outside at a favorite coffee shop most of the day. Weather is stunning, the bestie is here, and LotR is playing in my earbuds.

That’ll do, Pig. That’ll do.

Couldn’t figure out why my music was so quiet in my Bluetooth headphones, so I kept turning it up.

Turns out I gave my coworkers 2 mins of very loud jazz mood music. (They were just about to say something, but enjoying it 😂)

Double check that Bluetooth pairing, folks 😆🫠

Update: First night of class was FUN. Loved the discussion. Also loved the diversity in the room (gender, age, ethnicity, tradition)—it looked like Houston.
Here’s a fun first post:

I start an MDiv program at Truett Seminary today.

To say I’m excited is an understatement.

I put aluminum foil on all our dining chairs to deter the kittens from getting on the table. Heard they are supposed to be afraid of it.

They love it. They are playing with it.

What do I do now?

ME, TOO.
I'm looking forward to this:
