The Write Life: My wish...
http://agerrans.blogspot.com/2015/01/my-wish.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2015. Today marks one year since my Grandma took her last breath and went to sleep until Jesus comes. In some ways it has seemed like a long year, but in other ways it has really flown by. I don't have that chance anymore, at least not in this world. But I absolutely cannot wait to find her again at the second coming and introduce my kids to her, to enjoy the prospect of them getting to know each other for all of eternity. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." ( Rev. 22:20b. Hi, I'm Ali. I...

Monday, January 26, 2015. 30 things I’ve learned in 30 years. I turned 30 yesterday, and thought I'd capture the event with a fun and inspirational blog post. These might be things I've learned as a child, a teen, or in my 20s. I might have learned them in family life, or by living alone, in married life, or by living overseas. But one thing is sure: they're all things I've learned for myself in the past 30 years of my life! Books are magical and once you open one, anything is possible. Travel. Near ...

Wednesday, January 15, 2014. I know my recent blog posts have been focusing on my grandmother, but she was a special person and I am inspired to write when I think of her. There might be a few more posts about her in the next little while. I found these pictures while I was looking for the perfect photos to include in my 10 Things I Love About Grandma. Bryn and Gram walking together. Care shown through touch. Monday, January 13, 2014. Yes, my beloved Grandma died this morning, after struggling long weeks...

The Write Life: December 2013
http://agerrans.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 22, 2013. Today I learned that my Grandma's. Health is deteriorating. I went home to BC in November and was able to spend quality time with her, but even though I saw her then, after a lung cancer diagnosis and a stroke, it still comes as a shock to hear that she isn't doing well. Gram and I at my cousin's wedding in 2011. Rahma playing at Cradle before bed in Oct. 2010. Today I realize anew how unfair life is, and I long for heaven more than ever. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Write Life: June 2014
http://agerrans.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2014. The past week has been a whirlwind of going through clothes and some of our things in storage. Between Tuesday, Friday, and today I've gone through my entire wardrobe, trying on most of my clothes and carefully critiquing all of them to decide if they are appropriate for a 6-months-to-30-years-old woman to wear. Of course, even though I didn't wear these clothes out or grow out of them, many of my clothes from high school have long since left my wardrobe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, November 08, 2013. Five Minute Friday: Truth. Truth: I live in Maine.

The Write Life: September decluttering challenge
http://agerrans.blogspot.com/2014/09/september-decluttering-challenge.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2014. On Monday I came home from work and found a beautiful e-mail from my Mum in my inbox. It started like this:. I was wondering today who I could share Jesus love with and then I thought who better than my children and nieces and nephews. So this is to let you know how much I love you and how much God loves you too.". She then went on to detail some of the ways she was proud of me, from things I helped her with as a young child to things I do now. The e-mail ended this way:.

Friday, July 19, 2013. Five Minute Friday: Belong. I don't belong here. Not in Maine. Not in the U.S. even. And maybe not even in my home country of Canada.
