Need More Band-Aids: December 2011

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

I have adventures and break things. Sunday, December 25, 2011. After an exhausting season leading up to today, I confess to being focused on what to get for the kids and how much I have left to wrap instead of what this holiday is about and who is it for. I want to start a new tradition for myself, maybe one to share with my own family later: prayer. To my sister, I pray for you everyday. I don't know what else to give you that will be as effective as an answered prayer. I pray that you grow into...The c...

Need More Band-Aids: October 2011

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

I have adventures and break things. Thursday, October 20, 2011. Goals, part i. What do you do when you reach your goals? You realize they weren't big enough. I've been so focused on my short term goals and needs for myself that I have failed to find anything bigger to dream for. Go to more school. Go to school until you get enough degrees to get a job. Check, check, check, check, check, check. Still figuring that part out. Monday, October 17, 2011. Another lesson I didn't want, but I'll take. 14 And we u...

Need More Band-Aids: Heart Update - Part III

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2010/11/heart-update-part-iii.html

I have adventures and break things. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Heart Update - Part III. It's been an interesting week or so, to say the least. On 11/9 I went into heart surgery. Ran up the stairs to pre-op instead of taking the stairs, just because I could (and it would be awhile till I could again! November 17, 2010 at 11:32 PM. I love how He just shows up in every part of life and in every circumstance. He is imprinted on everything and Im happy youre finding His love through all this. Its been an i...

Need More Band-Aids: July 2011

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

I have adventures and break things. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Sometimes its not the big things that get in our way or cause us to stumble. It's the little things, and especially the little things piled up that really humble us. One of the hard lessons I've learned lately is that I'm not unstoppable or completely independent - much as I'd like to pretend that I can do anything by myself. To be reminded of this, it takes me being half-debilitated by a medicine change to admit my vulnerabilities.

Need More Band-Aids: The things you see

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-things-you-see.html

I have adventures and break things. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. The things you see. I knew these were coming. Those are the calls you get and the people you see that you see once, and then you see again and again in your head long after you've left them. You know these things are coming, but you don't know the hour or the place. You still bolt when you hear the tones drop and answer the call anyway. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Need More Band-Aids: February 2012

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

I have adventures and break things. Sunday, February 26, 2012. Today I made it to Harvest. A young adult service at McLean Presbyterian Church. As the message went on, I reminded myself that patients need patience, something I posted. On this time last year. I have come a long way in a year, but having ongoing medical concerns is a constant test of patience. And then someone had a seizure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Heart Update - Part III.

Need More Band-Aids: Fortify Areas of Weakness

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2012/11/fortify-areas-of-weakness.html

I have adventures and break things. Monday, November 12, 2012. Fortify Areas of Weakness. Three times tonight - I heard the exact same metaphor. That there is one string, that when tugged, will make everything unravel. You've been working on something particular for days, and upon completion you find out half of it needs redone. Only skilled, practiced knitters can fix these slips without letting it derail the whole project. November 15, 2012 at 6:01 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ive been learn...

Need More Band-Aids: May 2013

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

I have adventures and break things. Thursday, May 16, 2013. Riding Adventures and 12-Leads. The good news was obsession mildly reassured me that my heart is not going to explode (I think I knew this already.) and that I should be able to talk my way through the physical when they find these things. I suck at updating blogs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Heart Update - Part III. Its been an interesting week or so, to say the least. On 11/9 I went into heart surgery.

Need More Band-Aids: March 2012

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

I have adventures and break things. Tuesday, March 20, 2012. I had a great run today, made especially satisfying in relation to the tiring weekend of headaches and no sleep. At the very end, as I'm walking on my cool down, I get a sudden sharp, but fleeting, pain in my foot, exactly what the stress fracture had felt like. I think, "God, no! And pray on the spot desperately to not have a broken foot again. Is this what I get for focusing in running? Is this such a bad thing? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Need More Band-Aids: Psalm 119 - Daleth

http://embracecrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2012/04/psalm-119-daleth.html

I have adventures and break things. Sunday, April 15, 2012. Psalm 119 - Daleth. I am laid low in the dust;. Preserve my life according to your word. I recounted my ways and you answered me;. Teach me your decrees. Let me understand the teaching of your precepts;. Then I will meditate on your wonders. My soul is weary with sorrow;. Strengthen me according to your word. Keep me from deceitful ways;. Be gracious to me through your law. I have chosen the way of truth;. I have set my heart on your laws. Over ...
