An Adversaria: February 2013
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Saturday, February 23, 2013. Choose this day whom you will serve. In the world of instant gratification and social media, it is difficult to not get self-involved. At least I think it is. Pride is already one of my greatest faults. Having access to something that tells me how many people "like" my work is fuel for self-aggrandizement or self-deprication, depending on the day. (Sad considering how inaccurate it really is.). I rarely think about ...

An Adversaria: March 2014
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Fear vs. Trust.the winner is. Was V all right? The last question I asked aloud and my dad answered me: she was fine, just scared. I'd protected her, held on to her as long as I could. So that's just a byproduct, but so comfy.). Will we lose one? What if I get postpartum even more severely? I finally had to fight image with image. When I imagine a brand new baby being placed screaming in my arms I realize seconds wil...

An Adversaria: April 2014
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Sunday, April 20, 2014. A time to mourn and a time to dance. Today marks 15 years since the Columbine tragedy. I have to sit and re-read that sentence a few times to really understand it. Fifteen years. I know I am not alone in feeling that, because I have no physical scars, Columbine's place in my life is somehow less. A phrase from The Holiday. Quote from the wall of the Columbine Memorial. Today I celebrate a day - an act of God - that forev...

An Adversaria: May 2014
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Sunday, May 4, 2014. We serve a God who can breathe life into dry bones. Let that sink in for a moment. One year ago today I was at Red Rocks Amphitheater with my husband's family watching Chris Tomlin on his Burning Lights. Suddenly there were the words "Awake! Awake my soul; God resurrect these bones." And my heart broke. The tears fell. I still cry when I hear "BREATHE! Tomlin, Chris. Burning Lights. Sparrow (Universal), 2013. Learning to Wa...

An Adversaria: September 2013
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Thursday, September 19, 2013. I am an archaeologist. I know them," Carre pipes up. We all insist she sing. "OK, but you all have to sing with me," she says, sitting up straight and clearing her throat. Those aren't the right words," Katelyn said in her matter-of-fact tone. "I am highly offended.". But it wasn't until all of our voices yodeled with gusto that we fully understood - on our last night together - that we were kindred spirits. That i...

An Adversaria: April 2013
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Monday, April 15, 2013. I confess every once in a while I want McDonald's: the convenience, speed, taste manufactured by sodium, MSG and grease. Now, healthy eating is one of the most important skills that parents help their children develop. Underelying this focus on food education for young children [in France] is a simple principle:. Chances are, my children are not going to grow up to go to Harvard, or to be major league sports stars, conce...

An Adversaria: August 2013
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Friday, August 9, 2013. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. No matter our life's circumstances, the Lord strengthens us and will...

An Adversaria: Why IF? Why you?
http://anadversaria.blogspot.com/2015/01/why-if-why-you.html
A collection of notes, remarks, and selections from my life. Friday, January 16, 2015. The whirlwind was over. It had been a full day. So full we didn't even get a chance to watch the last speaker. Ladies headed home to their families, their homes, their beds, their minds full of God's promises and, hopefully, an inkling that they were significant in God's story. The first IF:Local was over. We need not compare ourselves to others or others' callings, but simply do that which we were given to do: chase t...
