Walking in the Cemetery

The other day I was reading my devotional, Grace for the Moment by Max Lucado before going to work. Under a list of bullet points I was surprised to read “Make major decisions in a cemetery.” I had to reread that line a couple times. It seemed so random and not flowing with the other ideas,Continue reading “Walking in the Cemetery”

I AM Enough

By Leah Jordan Meahl   Life is wavering water, Uncontrolled is how she behaves, But I AM enough.   Endlessly moving, Yet forever enslaved, Life is wavering water   Though the raging sea may capture, And send treasures to their graves, I AM enough.   In anger she devours, But for the thirsty, she saves,Continue reading “I AM Enough”

Post Grad Life: The Selfish Six

Six months. I’ve been out of school for six months. It’s hard to believe that life in school is now a memory and I can actually use the phrase “when I was in college.” Anyway, my first six months have been successful in my book because I have 2 part-time jobs, a consistent writing schedule, and several excitingContinue reading “Post Grad Life: The Selfish Six”

On each one I stepped, Leaping and landing on the sparklersContinue reading “Starlit Path”

From the moment you smiled during our first conversation, I knew I wanted to be good friends with you and hopefully something more down the line. Well, we’re down the line now, and I’ve comeContinue reading “Dear Special Guy…”

When Life is Grey, See Blue

After two whole days of nonstop raining, I got into my car on a damp and dismal morning. The grey clouds matched the greyness that had crept into my demeanor. I felt like I was driving in a fog, only seeing the road a few feet in front of me. Attempting to pull myself outContinue reading “When Life is Grey, See Blue”

Christians, Don’t be Afraid of Passover

Spiritually speaking, this week is pretty busy. For my family, it’s not really because of Palm Sunday, Good Friday, or even Easter, but because of three other holidays that are either glossed over or forgotten completely. I’m speaking of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. Just like with most holidays and not a lot of nearby family, weContinue reading “Christians, Don’t be Afraid of Passover”
