If you have been broken before, then you know what pieces make you strong. Let me say that again but differently. If you, YES YOU, have been broken before, then you know which pieces to rebuild from. My parents were into construction. So growing up, I was always on one site or another, involuntarily inhaling… Continue reading Site for Sore Eyes (Pun Intended)
[Insert Name Here]
Our name does not necessarily single us out from the crowd because there can be 2000 other people with the same name in the same area as you. A bit of an exaggeration, but not unlikely. A name is just an arrangement of letters that someone saw fit to call you by. Well, at least that is… Continue reading [Insert Name Here]

I promised myself that when I start making my own money, I would buy myself Legos. Well time passed and I have a job, but Legos have not been part of the budget since I have to buy my own lotion and soap now... plus the economy is not helping at all! Anywhoooo.... A few… Continue reading 1 Person
Merge.
On my way to work, I have to join this really busy two-lane-road. When I am approaching it, the traffic looks stagnant and knowing me, I am most likely 6 minutes away from being late. As I slow down the car and wait for my turn to merge into the traffic, sometimes it feels as… Continue reading Merge.
Why Bother?
You could be: Mid-sit-up in your new workout planMid-sentence in a submission for a magazine that constantly rejects youHalfway through the journey to see someone that never replies to your textsIn the state of "nobody understands me"Buying new stock for a failing businessConvincing your opinionated friend or family member why The Jesus Life is the best… Continue reading Why Bother?
Go for It!
I like thinking things through. I like it so much that I think more than I DO what I am thinking about. When you are as indecisive as me, spontaneity is scary. I find it to be a mess of doing things just because of how it feels in the moment. But hey, overthinking is inevitable. The world has… Continue reading Go for It!
Roooaddd Trip!
The best journeys in life I feel are the ones you take with yourself. I always tell people I do not like convertibles because they look funny. I would rather have a four-door car. Not because I have numerous friends I would adore taking road trips with, but I would just love having all that… Continue reading Roooaddd Trip!
Alive
James 1:2 – Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds. Do you know those days? Yes, those ones. Where nothing makes sense, the weather is too hot, you are too busy, you are not busy, your finances are plummeting (or have plummeted), your health is stable but you do not feel… Continue reading Alive
Love: A Second-Hand Emotion
Colossians 3: 12-14 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is… Continue reading Love: A Second-Hand Emotion
BUILD YOUR RESILIENCE AND PREPARE FOR IMPACT!
I have this thing where I am constantly ready for the worst. I imagine terrible situations to build my resistance towards them and I do a pretty good job at it if I do say so myself. Yes, maybe it is completely ridiculous and insane having me sob over stories I invented in my head,… Continue reading BUILD YOUR RESILIENCE AND PREPARE FOR IMPACT!
