[Click to read today’s post about tees]
Just in case you did not know, this is one of my side projects that I do with my roomate and friend, Mary Dodd - Will Work for Cupcakes! I have another project in the works that will be totally different but hopefully super helpful for females in their relationships with the opposite sex. More on that in the near future.

[TO]9.29.11[DAY] :: BUSY DOESNT ALWAYS MEAN...
[Sorry for the bizarre/lame photo - why dont they make illustrative photos for hipsters? Business venture, anyone?]
I am SO BUSY these days. Saving up for my move to California aka working multiple jobs takes up the vast majority of my time. I have like 7 plates spinning & trying my best to live with an increased capacity. But I have either got that or I do not and this season of life will...

[TO]9.27.11[DAY] Humility is Key
Taking solace today in some newfound understanding. One of the things I have recently realized yet again is how little I actually know. Seems like that is the beginning of true wisdom, the realization that I only know so much but God’s intelligence is endless & He is willing to let us in on His thoughts. I want to tune my ear even better to HIs voice, not just for my own life…...

LIVING IN GRACELAND
Tunes I am writing to: Jonsi
I recently realized that given all my theology studies my understanding of grace is still practically in its infancy. You may wonder… how could that be? You have been saved since you were a kid & have lived a pretty clean life? That is the reason exactly.
Maybe I understand grace when it lives in certain ‘homes’. For instance, I feel graced to...

Ryan Gosling = TROUBLE
Ryan Gosling’s entire world is centered around making people adore him while keeping it under wraps that this is all that matters to him. Really, Ryan? You would rather be wiping little runny noses and butts instead of film-making, really? No. You just want every woman in the world to be at your disposal if you wish it. And it is working. Even on me. And I am not happy about it. The end.

TO[9.21.11]DAY
I am thinking about the future; pretty much constantly. I am living in ongoing monotony yet grateful to learn the value of what faithfulness in small things day in / day out can produce long term. The value of a dollar. The value of time. Understanding that this moment right now is beautiful simply because it will not last and we can never get it back.
Excited for what is ahead & sad for...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT >> STRUGGLE
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
Without God, all of this would surely be for naught. I will survive this long, hard season & it will be used for good - period.
Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and...

RIGHT PLACE // RIGHT TIME
A while ago I found myself in the right place but at the wrong time. Of course, this scenario meant it was just fully wrong. But I was too naive to know that at the time; or too [spiritually] dull, you decide. The confusion that arrives in these scenarios, then, makes perfect sense. It is confusing, because part of what you experience should & could be but there is something misaligned or out...
Getting clarity on something is worth everything...

"why do i live in this God-forsaken state?!"
“WHY DO I LIVE IN THIS GOD-FORSAKEN STATE?”! I yelled [laughingly, kind of] last night whilst standing on my bed just 22 hours ago.
Right now it’s sunny & serene. It is the perfect day, even though it is a little on the hot side. But 22 hours ago… it was a whole different story.
I was on my bed looking out my full-length window as golf ball sized hail clanged against...
