These are surface thoughts. Choppy fragments. This post is a muddled collection of concepts and ideas and questions I’ve been mulling over, but sometimes writing things out provides clarity. I guess we’ll see. Let me start with key words, in no particular order: foster care, adoption, government, socialism, Christianity, homes, love, church. These words tumblingContinue reading “Of Starving Hearts and Socialism”

To Kill the Mockingbird
I am content. Never in my life have I been so happy and at peace and full of what I’ll call “easy” joy. Being a stay-at-home wife and (now) mom has been far more exciting and beautiful than I thought it would. I’m used to anxiety and an ever-underlying depression. I’m not used to suchContinue reading “To Kill the Mockingbird”

The word “must” gives the initial impression that I’m forced to be in this relationship, that it’s merely my struggling response to satisfy an unpleasant tyrant–but oh, the reality is so far from that. With God as my first love, all myContinue reading “No Matter What, I’m Gonna Love You”
5.5 hrs of sleep but I feel fine
Well, I actually feel rather sleepy. And I have a 10-pg draft research paper due Tuesday that I’m working on, and about 3.5 hrs of Psych homework to do before Wednesday, and a room to clean…and a lot of other things on my mental checklist. But I’m so indescribably happy and thrilled being alive right now.Continue reading “5.5 hrs of sleep but I feel fine”
