Can't exist without them labels, you know I think I've decided that all labels are destructive, but necessary. I'm sorry to hear of your struggles in my little town, but I can't say I'm not surprised. People are watching how you
Life is too short to fake your way through it! I'm learning this lesson day by day. Maybe you'll meet a plumber. No such luck. Maybe next time.
Sometimes being a homeowner bites. Like when you have this wet spot in your grass that has been there since July, and you keep hoping it will dry up and go away. Finally you decide to ask your surrogate dad if it might be a problem, and he tells you to call a plumber. Things start going down hill from there. You get the bright idea to go to Lowe’s Home Impr
Steven, Wow! I'm impressed by your thoughtful response. It's been a few years since we chatted, and I can tell that God has been up to some amazing things in your life. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, strength, and hope. I would love to catch up with you in the near future!
Congrats on the new vehicle Brandie! Did you ever imagine that being a grown up would be this wonderful and messy? I hope the baby arrives just on time. Enjoy the next few weeks. P.S. Did you guys get any damage from the earthquake? I was thinking of you when I saw the news.
This is a pointless post. I have no idea why I felt the need to share this very insignificant happening. I'm only twenty seven. I shouldn't be writing crap like this . . . my teachers must have been right. I do have an old soul. On my way home from school today, I encountered an interesting sight. A young boy who looked to be around eleven years o
My big sister, Tiffanie, has been trying to marry me off for years now. A while back she came to visit me when I was living in my apartment in Fort Worth. Her four kids and husband were driving her nuts, so she took a mini-vacation and spent a few days relaxing by my pool and sleeping in. During the course of the weekend she informed me that I had a "cream cheese a
Brandie, I absolutely love the shirt! You wear it with such grace and style. Thanks for sharing the picture. I hope I can be half as cute as you when or IF God ever decides to make me a mom!
My class was doing a word splash today, attempting to define courage. I wish we had put your name on it. You amaze me Brandie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Adrian both. Enjoy the camping trip!
Perfect. I agree. Scoffpiggy's response was one of my favorites. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are doing well.
I'm glad I'm not the only one on the planet trying to figure this thing out. Thanks to all of you who responded. Your experience, strength, and hope provide much needed insight!
The questions continue to swirl. I haven't made up my mind about who God says He is, but when you look at life through the lenses of your own circumstances, his character seems questionable. Now, I'd almost bet that most of you Bible-thumping Christians out there just read my last sentence and have already created a calculated response preparing to
We're running a race, we're not home yet and until we are we'll NEVER be PERFECTLY godly so instead of working so hard towards the impossible let's learn how to live as imperfect people who love and are loved. Jennifer, you are so right! Thanks for taking the time to share your insight. It's good to kno
Tessa and Sierra are staying with their tia Tenille this weekend. They wanted to learn about blogging, so I'm letting them post an article on my page. Here it goes. We are sisters who live with our aunt. From our early childhood we remember that no one is perfect but God. Tessa says, "My sister thinks she's more perfect than everyone. She thinks that she can
#1 You're fat now? No. Just average. (The exercise analogy happen to fit) #2 "Adversity huh? I love when people presume that truth seeking believers don't
Instead of being annoyed, maybe you should think of them as being spiritually immature instead? Yes, because that wouldn't be judgemental. Aren't we all spiritually immature? <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-
Perhaps what you need is a little adversity in your life or to participate in the adversity of someone elses life? Adversity huh? I love when people presume that truth seeking believers don't come from the funk. I suppose it's our own fault. Christians spend an enormous amout of energy tring to make eve
"Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly . For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things , holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
Does it ever seem like your perception of reality is warped? I often feel as though my input sensors are defective when it comes to interpreting conflict and correction. A cloud of insecurity hovers over me, waiting for the right moment to prove what I’ve always feared. I am not enough. Frustration overtakes me when I return to this place of s
Your hair is so long and gorgeous! I'm jealous. I love the pink room. You're having a little girl! Yipee!
you can love someone and still not like them very much Help me distinguish the difference. Expand on this . . .
Do you have people around you who would love YOU less if you were to wrong them? The fear I feel concerning this question has kept me locked in my own prison for a very long time. I want to believe there is nothing I could ever do to make folks love me less, but I don't. I've only recently begun
I know she will have something tacky to say to me in response to my presence here on this blog, so I won't elaborate. When does she not have something tacky to say? My days of apoligizing for her are a thing of the past. I LOVE her all the time, but I don't always like her. I'm sure you unders
I was recently presented with the following question: "Do you have people around you who could never do anything to make you love them less?" I've been pondering this for some time now, and after an unpleasant phone call this evening, a very deep-seeded truth sunk into the recesses of my stubborn heart. You see, I
Sometimes I think I'm only happy when I have something to be upset about. Life is dull when we aren't struggling, yet amazingly enough, all I've ever wanted was for the drama to end. Be blah. It's okay. Take care friend of mine. P.S.S. Get a myspace account. They are tons of fun! <
