WORDSthatSING: my mother's day post...several days late...because I am a mother

http://kelseylynae.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-mothers-day-postseveral-days.html

Why 'words that sing'. My mother's day post.several days late.because I am a mother. Two years ago I wrote this post. And this year on Mother's Day I had two babies to fill my arms. The richness of that statement is not lost on me. While we were at church we sang several songs, as we always do. But this time, as I stood in the pew by myself since Brent was onstage, two lines from two different songs stood out to me:. Grace has saved us- nothing of our own. Grace in the meltdowns. Grace in the "busy".

WORDSthatSING: July 2015

http://kelseylynae.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Why 'words that sing'. Jesus Calling for Little Ones: a book review. I'm getting some great feedback from THIS. Post last week regarding community. I'd still love to hear your thoughts regarding this. I'm trying to really soak up the last bit of summer with the girls and family before softball starts, so blogging has been a little lax. Sorry. If anyone cares ;). Ones, and I was thinking it would be good for Blythe too. What does it take? I have been thinking a lot about community. Not the neighborhoo...

WORDSthatSING: our story

http://kelseylynae.blogspot.com/p/our-story.html

Why 'words that sing'. Here is the story of Brent and me: Our Story. I can't promise that it's perfect, but I promise it is as true to life as I can remember. Grab a snack, it's a doozey.enjoy! And the text got funky in a few places, either being smaller or bigger than original, so I guess you can move your computer nearer or farther from your face! As a freshman in high school, boys weren't off my radar screen. I liked basketball, mesh shorts, food, and ponytails, but I also liked boys. But as the curta...

WORDSthatSING: 8 things I learned from being a church-camper, OR 8 reasons you should make your kids go to camp

http://kelseylynae.blogspot.com/2015/07/8-things-i-learned-from-being-church.html

Why 'words that sing'. 8 things I learned from being a church-camper, OR 8 reasons you should make your kids go to camp. When I was growing up, summer meant a lot of things to me. It meant late evenings playing in the fading sun and getting sticky from humidity and dirt. It meant bike rides and vacations. It meant the swimming pool and skin that smelled faintly of chlorine for weeks. And it meant church camp. I started going to week long camp in fourth grade. Week long! 75 DAYS UNTIL CAMP! Who the "missi...

WORDSthatSING: psalms

http://kelseylynae.blogspot.com/2011/07/psalms.html

Why 'words that sing'. Here is the story [I wrote a collection of stories about this group of friends but haven't shared many of them here since they are MY friends and you probably don't care ;)]:. I was reading in the Psalms today while I ate my lunch, the obsessive November wind licking at the window. I was eating my noodles and the words and letting them happen to me, the way puberty happens to a person. I put down my fork and read Open up your mouth and He will fill it,. Instead of thinking it.

WORDSthatSING: Becks' Story

http://kelseylynae.blogspot.com/2014/05/becks-story.html

Why 'words that sing'. To see the letters I wrote to Becks before she was born. I have written and re-written Becks' birth story in my head so many times since her birth four and a half weeks ago. And now that I am finally. Sitting down to actually type it out, I am at a loss for where to begin. How does one capture the beautiful, chaotic, exhausting whirlwind that is childbirth? How does one describe the moment that moves from painful to sacred. When your child is laid upon your chest? My little Blythe ...
