Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning, friends! I’d like to start out, real quick, by apologizing for missing last Wednesday, when the point of switching the schedule was to post twice last week. I had every intention of posting, and then we had yet another cat adventure and spent the morning at the vet instead. Nothing too exciting this […]
Good morning, friends! It’s a Monday morning, but since Thanksgiving is this Thursday and I skipped last Thursday already, I figured I’d shift my schedule up by a day so that we could get in two posts this week before the big holiday. We’ve sort of talked about this topic a lot, but I don’t […]
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. 2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of […]
I’m sitting here in my comfy chair, reading stories on the internet. I have this weakness for those lists of stories from people you find on Facebook. The ones that are all “Haunted House worker share their weirdest experiences” or “Servers share the worst date they ever saw.” I don’t know what it is about […]
Good morning, dear friends. I was going to say I’m writing a little late today, but let’s be honest; I’m always writing late nowadays. I have great aspirations of getting up at a reasonable time and getting to my blogging in the actual morning time again, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s going to […]
Dear Young Me, You are in high school and things seem complicated. The world is a scary and uncertain place. You don’t know what you want to do. The world has told you your passion isn’t good enough to support you. They’ve told you you can’t make a living writing and you should go to […]
Dear Brides, Congratulations! This is probably the most stressful and exciting summer of your life, but at the end of it all, you get to spend your life with the fella you love and that’s awesome! I’m sure you’ve already read all the advice the internet has to give you. You’ve probably looked at hundreds […]
I have a beautiful story to tell, about some of the most beautiful people I know. I got to sit in court yesterday. That doesn’t sound beautiful, or fun, or even good, but it was. I sat in on the final adoption hearing for this family’s second little girl. This family has now adopted two […]
My father-in-law is going through Matthew in his sermons right now. I can’t remember how long we’ve been going through Matthew, and who knows when we’ll reach the end, but it’s been a good time thus far. We’ve reached chapter 14 and this past week we learned about Jesus walking on the water and calling […]
So you know how we had a super stressful Saturday full of disappointing house hunting and were feeling rather discouraged by the whole ordeal? Well that’s over now. We just had our application approved and will be signing the lease to rent a house tomorrow. A house that we found on Sunday, contacted and viewed […]
