Over a cup of coffee. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Oh first Valentine's, how I will never forget you. I was gone last weekend to help my grandmother, so when I got home after 10 hours in a car over the span of 2 days, I was pretty tired. My sweet husband bought me a dozen roses and a funny card (my favorite! Which made my day wonderful and made my hopes of the perfect Valetines that much greater! My plan was to make Steven's favorite food: homemade pizza (with his mom's awesome crust recipe! Wife Of A Di...

over a cup of coffee: Sixty Characters or Less
http://jamieeng.blogspot.com/2011/03/sixty-characters-or-less.html
Over a cup of coffee. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Sixty Characters or Less. A tombstone can only hold so much. It cannot tell your story or show pictures of your family. It does not show your bank account or your list of accomplishments. It is sixty characters, spaces included. My grammee's ashes are being buried of Friday and my Aunt asked me to help her come up with these sixty small characters to embody the life of my beloved grandmother. Beloved wife, mother and grammee. The Lord is my Shepherd".

Over a cup of coffee. Thursday, December 16, 2010. Day 2: Thump Thump Thump. As I think back on all those years ago, I knew nothing. I thought I understood your handsome face, but I hadn’t even skimmed the surface of the beauty that you possess. I was taken by your charm and, but who would have guessed I would be captured by it. Now some eight years later, you still make my heart beat fast. I long to be near you and to be forever yours. This is my bridegroom, this is my friend. Friday, December 10, 2010.

Over a cup of coffee. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Abraham picked up and left all he knew in order to wander around before he became the Father of a great nation. Joseph was a slave and sat in prison before he saved his brothers from starving to death. Moses watched sheep in the dessert before he saved the Jews from Pharaoh. Jesus was a carpenter for 30 years before he saved the world. Recently I've looked at my life and said, "I'm a barista at Starbucks. Really God? I'm supposed to be HERE? I don’t thi...

Over a cup of coffee. Monday, September 27, 2010. 4 stories. one theme. A big tough business guy, an ex-druggy from Kentucky, a good girl, and a west african man who used to practice voodoo. These were the four who stood up in front of our church yesterday to confess their love of Jesus before they walked through the waters of baptism. Thursday, September 16, 2010. Out of the mouths of babes. But it’s ok because we are all squished in together! I overheard a little boy tell his teacher, “At my last...

over a cup of coffee: The sweetness that comes with time
http://jamieeng.blogspot.com/2011/02/sweetness-that-comes-with-time.html
Over a cup of coffee. Monday, February 28, 2011. The sweetness that comes with time. But it will change. Love gets put through the ringer after that first day. It begins with all smiles and laughter, but that first fight brings tears and hurt feelings. Love grows, love changes. it deepens and expands far beyond anything you can imagine. But there is a sweetness that only comes with time. This weekend I saw the beginning of a new life together through the sparkling eyes of our friends Richard and Tania.

Over a cup of coffee. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. On my way to school the other day, God laid something on my heart and then wouldn't let it go. My purpose for being at my job. When my job isn't ministry related, I find it easy to walk in, do my job and leave. affecting no one's life and having no one affect mine. I'm just doing my job, right? I think back to the women who have commited to praying for me. My grandmas and mom who prayed me through my childhood (and on! Friday, October 22, 2010. We went t...

Over a cup of coffee. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Day 18: My gift. My heart and my mind were in conflict with each other as he stepped off the plane. 'I like him. Yes, I think I like him. But what if it doesn't work out.' The what-if's were looming and the confusion was mounting. A decision had to be made. Why? Because he was meeting my family for the first time. What if he breaks my heart? What if this isn't right? And in that moment I heard the Lord whisper to me, "He is your gift." All of the sudd...

Over a cup of coffee. Thursday, January 20, 2011. This is my Grammee. But this weekend when I went to visit, I realized that things really have changed. Getting up isn't quite as easy as it used to be, walking takes just that much more effort, and the desire for the richest foods has all but disappeared. This is the grandmother who has taken care of me my whole life. She changed my diapers, washed my face, and held me as I cried. Now I guess its my turn to return the favor.
