As I write this, I am listening to an old spiritual singer belt out “His eye is on the Sparrow”. And, as I write this, I know HE is watching me! I feel that power, and it brings such peace! I realize this letter is long over-due. Such is life! At this very moment, my dad is officiating the memorial service for my Aunt Priscilla. Her loss obviously grieves my heart for many reasons, but today, I ache because I…
7 Things You Probably Do Not Know About Me a.) when i get really nervous, or excited, mostly nervous, my teeth chatter uncontrolably (like when normal people are cold) b.) i absolutely love wearing a new outfit, and absolutely hate when people say “is that a new outfit?” c.) i love my nose ring SO much that i now want to get my face pierced d.) there are many times in my life when i feel that i love certain…
i thought i was gonna die these past few days. on thursday, i felt soooooooooo tired all day. i put the babe down for his first nap, and went downstairs to get a start to my day, and all i could do was lay on the couch. the next thing i knew, it was almost 3 hours later! philly, (sleeping next to me on a chair), chail, and i were all out like lights for that whole time. as i…
i have been struggling for 3 days now as to what i want to SAY to you for your birthday. remember when i first heard my theme song for the year? my john mayer song. i listened to it over and over and you watched me add motions and dramatics to my new favorite song. well, today, i am going to say not what i NEED to say, but what i WANT to say. there are so many avenues to…
hi! my name is swz. my birthday is on monday, september 8. i would love it if you would post all kinds of loving, sentimental, mushy comments about me to really make my day special!
there is no other way to describe me today. i felt like a 5 year old starting school for the first time. tonight was my first shift back at sbux after an entire month off. not only that, it was my first night working at my new store. yikes. you’d think, after almost 5 years in the company, that starting at a new store would be no biggie. not true. it’s a biggie. same song, same dance, but with all…
i don’t think gretchen had any idea what HUGE gift she gave to me when she so graciously presented me with my very own digital camera! (or maybe she did….) it’s just been a blast for me to own it. i love capturing moments and being able to keep those moments forever, while sharing them with others! my first week in VA is officially complete! and though i am well into week 2, i can’t help but share some snapshots…
i have a wonderful announcement to make! my very dear friends, nate and emily miller, are now blogging! they are referred to on my side bar as “nate and m”. as you know, i am a big advocate of nicknaming my friends, and so we get “m”. anyway, nate and m are officially on staff with campus crusade on new york campuses! so, my blogging click, give nate and m a shout out- we all know how those first few…
there is so much going on in my life right now. gracious! but acutally, come to think of it, grace is playing quite a theme in the pages of my soul. by God’s grace i am living day-to-day very well. every thing in my life is just about 100 % different then my life just a few short weeks ago. normally change is extremely difficult for me. and it’s been an up-and-down winding road thus far, but as of this…
after four and a half more hours of driving, the first leg of my journey to chail was finally complete. i parked my car, jumped out, and had to tell myself NOT to run to the house. luke and philly (their dog- philadelphia teensy) greeted me at the door. i then rushed down the hallway, around the corner, and there he was. the sweetest, most beautiful, most precious baby i have ever seen in my life. sista (trisha) was feeding…
