A Delivering Journey

I have had this song stuck in my head for a week. Why? I don't know...I can't even remember the last time I actually heard "Blue Christmas"! Then the craziness of my life happened, and I actually had a very blue Christmas indeed. I'll begin on Saturday, December 21. I had my first class of my winter english class and I was not terribly thrilled about being in class on Saturday morning, and I was even less thrilled about being there from 9-3. Just knowing it wouldn't be much longer until I was on a plane to go see my family for Christmas was enough to drive me crazy! Then something crazy happened...I discovered how incredible my professor is! She kind of looks like Meg Ryan a little bit - from her You've Got Mail days, and she is SO passionate about literature. I knew within about 20 minutes that this class was going to be one of the best classes I will ever take. She is incredible. I cried during the first half of her lecture because it was so pow

I love creating things.  I always have.  I have a deep love and passion for art, but I can barely remember the last time I actually made something except the other day when I made a banner for a coworker's wedding shower. It stirred something within me and now I have such a desire to make more things! It's a little overwhelming!

After I punched holes and tied them all together with twine I sealed it with a spray so the chalk wouldn't rub off. Fun! Before that, who knows what I made last, or WHEN I made it! So I decided to be nostalgic and post some o

Have you ever felt like you keep hearing something, and finally you're convinced it was meant for you? That's my life right now. I am desperate for hope.  Unfortunately, I have found mine running out lately, but The Lord knew it was exactly what I needed. I have literally heard something about having hope, or keeping hope, or The Lord being our hope, etc., almost every day for at least the last week and a half. It has been such a blessing because there have been so many times in the last month I have felt so helpless, and definitely hopeless. The pressure in my head is not really getting better and my doctor doesn't seem to care. For some reason, the first time he prescribed my medication it helped for a month before it started to not work anymore. Then, he doubled the dose after I had to make an emergency trip to see him and it lasted from Tuesday to the next Wednesday - last Wednesday, actually. I was at work when around noon it felt like something popped in my rig
