in response to my roommate, and so-called “friend’s” harsh, and completely inaccurate account of my latest guitar hero accomplishment, i have no choice but to defend my case. i’ll admit, playing a video game is definately not typical, abby-fashion entertainment. i’ve been known to roll my eyes at my little (bigger!) brother a time or two as he obsessively poured over his own guitar hero endeavor. i’ve been known to yawn and maybe mock the boys at work a little…
i haven’t updated my blog about tricia because her husband, nate, does such a fantastic job. i added his link to my sidebar. thanks to all of you who have asked me about her, prayed for her, and who check nate’s blog on your own. she is fully awake now, and has been able to watch the video of her baby for the first time. pretty powerful stuff. The Body never ceases to amaze me…
there are just those certain moments in life that are like little, light-shining lightning bugs that you wish you could catch, put in a jar and save forever.
wow…my God is in the business of doing miracles…
i can’t stop thinking about her. my heart just aches. i read her husband’s blog for updates, but i am left feeling helpless, and wanting to know more. i want to cry. i want to write her letters. i want to express that i remember her as a beautiful friend. i want her to know that i think of her. it’s so amazing to me that a childhood friend could evoke such strong feelings and emotions- even almost 20 years…
from KG through third grade, one of my very best friend’s names was tricia kirschner. (she is now lawrenson upon getting married!) she had cystic fibrosis, and as a kid, i didn’t realize the extent of her health issues. i used to visit her in the hospital, but she was always happy and smiling! anyway, i have just recently heard that she gave birth to a baby girl, gwenyth, quite prematurely, and it will be a miracle for both mom…
i find myself with still too much to say, and not enough words to say it with. i feel it is important to at least let you know this. there is so much on my mind! there are a lot of new things that i am thinking about, feeling, wondering about, living with, wrestling through…mostly, i just want to LIVE. really, truly LIVE. i want to be the best version of ME that i can possibly be. the woman God…
there is too much to say, and not enough words to say it with.
this year, i think more then any other year, i have profoundly learned more about Christmas then i ever have before. it’s been a process of one thing after another this season- and i think it all started to come together last night (eve) and today (christmas day). there are many ideas/wonders/thoughts/ponderings making their entrance into my beliefs. i woke up this morning so thankful for Jesus and His life on earth that i laid in bed, overcome with emotion…
a part of my heart is hurting tonight. it’s strange, really. i had to say my final good-bye to my beloved, red, jeep liberty. anyone who knows me at all pretty much realizes the depth of my love for this vehicle. i don’t think most people understand this. i loved my car. really loved. it meant so much to me for so many different reasons. liberty is freedom from control- and in a sense, when i bought my first SUV…
