God told Elijah to get some rest when he wasn’t feeling well. And after some rest, I read through the last few chapters in Hebrews, and also read James, Jude, and 1 Samuel 1 with my prayer journal given to me by a kindred spirit. It sit in my Bible. I read about God’s kindnessContinue reading “WELL ON SECOND THOUGHT”

Today I am sitting on my bed. Too tired to work. Ashamed to have been too tired to do work before today. Ashamed to have done work on Sunday. Ashamed to be checking my friends’ social medias to see if they’ve posted anything. Ashamed to have over-indulged on lovely Filipino food that the family bequeathedContinue reading “TODAY”

I’ve got a girl who .LOOKS AT HORSES ACROSS HER WINDOW.Knows elvish .Sews .MADE me two sweaters that SHE DESIGNED .Has the wisdom of at least two women, probably more. LOVES WITH ALL HER HEART. Even from miles away. BLESS HER LORD. She’s a good friend. SHE IS A GIFT. And I feel weird sayingContinue reading “PS”

Thank YOU, LORD, for putting me in Sunny LA, CA. For giving me kind roommates and a blue daisy romper with shoulder pads. And for putting musicians in this world like Velvet Underground. Forgive me for gossiping, complaining, and just in general being a very selfish person. Be with those who love YOU and saveContinue reading “THANK YOU”

I miss sitting on the lake with Mrs. Maureen. Her dock pointed out onto the water. If I could choose a new grandmother, I thought, one who was alive, she’d be it. She and Mrs. Sue. There were globs of sunshine floating on the surface of the water in front of her house. And thoughContinue reading “Home Sick”

I saw the sun today! You’d think I’d see it often, since it’s LA. But no. It’s been just slightly too chilly to strip down when it’s out, and most of the time it’s cloudy. It’s like being indoors outside. But I got up early enough to see the sunshine. It was great. And it’sContinue reading “The Sun is Out”

Today, I told my roommate, while making coffee, that we’d know when our identities and personalities were finished developing when we stopped worrying about them. After all, do our parents go around saying things like, “Oh my, do you REALLY think I’m an INTP?” or, “Oh, that’s so you! But see, I would never doContinue reading “Who Are We?”

I didn’t write a prayer to you Lord this day last year. Which surprised me because I was writing more then than I am now. How dissapointed I’ll be when I look back for old prayers a year from now and see weeks and weeks of nothing. Please forgive me. This time last year wasContinue reading “Fearless”

8.19.19 Today was a beautiful day. And though I still have a little dread about what might come tomorrow or the next day or the next, there’s still no denying that today was beautiful. In fact, the whole week has been beautiful. I don’t mind using the word over and over. Not everything is beautiful,Continue reading “Settling”
