Now We Are Free: A Better Solution for Millennials
http://comeandrest.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-better-solution-for-millennials.html
Now We Are Free. Thursday, October 3, 2013. A Better Solution for Millennials. The first time I heard someone speak about the state of my generation, I was actually pleased. Finally. I thought, someone is addressing out loud some of the major character issues with people my age. And yet, a couple years and what seems like a few hundred articles later still picking on us, I have to say something. But you know what? So that we can hear you rationally. You might ask. But the truth is, we are. The next gener...

Sojourner's Hope: Mourning will one day be dancing...
http://sojournershope.blogspot.com/2011/11/mourning-will-one-day-be-dancing.html
Saturday, November 5, 2011. Mourning will one day be dancing. Because in my house, it meant abandonment, neglect. Is that what God is like? Posted by Shauna Okongo. November 5, 2011 at 5:49 PM. I am so sorry to hear of this pain. You are in my prayers. *hugs*. November 5, 2011 at 9:09 PM. Continuing to pray God shows you his faithfulness. November 6, 2011 at 10:02 AM. Feel welcome to share.

Sojourner's Hope: My Story
http://sojournershope.blogspot.com/p/his-storymy-life.html
Everyone Has a Story. Have you ever noticed how many names of God there are throughout Scripture? Whenever an event would happen in Scripture, the people involved would name God based on the characteristic that was revealed, based on who He was to them at that point in time. Maybe He is Elohim. The Creator) at one point, and then Qanna. Jealous) at another. Maybe He is El Roi. The God who sees) to the woman who has been cast out, or Jehovah-Jireh. In how He called Himself, I AM THAT I AM. Feel free to jo...

Sojourner's Hope: The Cost is High
http://sojournershope.blogspot.com/2012/03/cost-is-high.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. The Cost is High. And I mourn it all. Probably more for selfish reasons than anything else. And I know it is only a season. But I mourn it nonetheless. To know how hard they have worked throughout their lives, how they have struggled and toiled, I just wonder if we could have, should have, stood together better. The community failed. We failed. Ugh I hate putting that out there because it solidifies, confesses, acknowledges the nudging that the Spirit has been doing at my heart.

Now We Are Free: Music Break: The Oh Hello's
http://comeandrest.blogspot.com/2013/02/music-break-oh-hellos.html
Now We Are Free. Friday, February 1, 2013. Music Break: The Oh Hello's. I've scarcely written as I journey on through life. It would be a lie to say that I have sagely continued to blossom into faith and maturity, or to say that I've gracefully stepped forward into greater things. But God is somehow graceful even when we cast a spiteful eye skywards and grasp tight our foolishness. He's working with me yet, and I'll let the matter incubate in my heart before sharing too much.

Now We Are Free: Breaking the Ice
http://comeandrest.blogspot.com/2014/08/malawi-breaking-ice.html
Now We Are Free. Saturday, August 2, 2014. Have I ever told you that I love my city when it rains? The monsoon sunset over Tucson. Just as a pause, tonight was one of those deeply endearing Tucson summer rains. It was overcast all day, with thunderstorms rolling through. The evening was impossible to resist. People are often most excited to know what we did. While we were there. To say in brief, we partnered with a fully Malawian organization in Lilongwe called Somebody Cares. I'll leave you for now with...

Now We Are Free: Mission: Abandoned
http://comeandrest.blogspot.com/2014/12/mission-abandoned.html
Now We Are Free. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. I don't think "literally can't even" was a phrase when I was a freshman in college, but that was how I felt about finishing my biology major. Three more years of labs and all-nighters sounded like traipsing through Mordor to me. (I was admittedly a little dramatic.) I unsuccessfully tried to change to sociology against the good will of my family, dropped dreaded organic chemistry (later, fools! And I guess the rest is history. Absolutely. That hill kicke...

Now We Are Free: Stripped and Present
http://comeandrest.blogspot.com/2014/06/stripped-and-present.html
Now We Are Free. Saturday, June 7, 2014. I feel uncomfortable without makeup on. Not in an end-of-the-world type insecurity, per se. But an awareness of what society would call my flaws. Like low-fat ice cream, it just feels somehow lacking. Make-up is actually not unlike photo filters, accentuating what you want people to notice while dimming or blurring the rest. Why post a regular photo when you can dramaticize it? This cannot be in Africa. I question whether it should. And I think that matters more.
