needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/1146
This post is a conglomerate of several days’ journal entries. I am posting this now as a reminder, during this current inexplicable bout of anxiety, that all is good. I suppose elation never lasts long, but I believe that faith, hope, and love have burrowed more deeply in my heart than ever before and that is what carries me through. How long has it been since I’ve been this happy with who I am? The Post-Birthday World,. There is a curious lack of want. Is by definition directed toward what is lacking, y...

Woman, lift up yah head,. Fo de alchemist he comin. Collect yah tears, e’ry last one,. Fo he turn dem to strands a pearls. Round yah queenly neck. Take up yah burdens in yah weathered hands,. Fo he turn dem leaden weights to gold,. Gold fo yah wrist and yah ankles. Sit up straight in de stiff straw of yah humiliation,. For he spin dat straw to silk. Fo yah royal robes. If ye bear yah head and tear yah hair. In grief and guilt and shame–oh! He crown yah wid his love. So lift up yah head, woman,.

A New Hope | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/1173
I wrote the following:. Lord God, forgive again and cast out my impatience. Help me to have faith in your vision for my life. Will you reveal that vision to me, God, or at least a tiny peek when my imagination fails? Then I paused. To breathe. To see. I see…a safe and loving marriage where we never tire of talking to each other. Where we play all the time, where life is an adventure, where together we turn our focus outward. Lost anyway, I still have a chance. And now I will act to protect that. You are ...

July | 2013 | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2013/07
Monthly Archives: July 2013. To riff off something shared by Bird Uncaged. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Levels of growth ...

Destination Imagination | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/destination-imagination
I’ve been ruminating on the idea of goals. For a week now, following a late-night conversation with a friend and a stimulating happy-hour meetup about financial goals for freelancers (courtesy The Salt Mines. In my weeklong meditation on goals, I’ve realized that goals don’t have to become should-do’s, conditions for approval/acceptance, expectations for particular outcomes (RAWR DISAPPOINTMENT ALERT! So where do i go from here? Here’s a few to start and approximate, hypothetical timelines…. Upgrade my o...

He knows what I need. March 31, 2010. 8212; beyondtheoutside @ 8:30 AM. Since then we have. A great high priest. Who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God,. Let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest. Who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been. Tempted as we are,. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. That’s so comforting! You’r...

Babysitting thoughts | OnlyGrace

Babysitting thoughts February 13, 2011. 8212; beyondtheoutside @ 10:01 PM. So of course I’m a big babysitter. I thought I’d post some of the thoughts/tips I was thinking about as I was babysitting tonight. 1) Start young. I’ve been babysitting for 6 years, and was a mothers helper even before that. Start getting to know people young! 5) Have set rates. Know your rates for 1, 2, 4 kids, if they have guests over, if two families go out, if you’re driving the kids, etc. Also, be consistent....8: Remember...

May 15, 2010. 8212; beyondtheoutside @ 9:59 AM. There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. I believe that the most lawless and inordinate loves are less contrary to God’s will than a self-invited and self-protected lovelessness. Allie Noske, Friend. Allison Kelly, Church Friend.
