thanks lord that we’re not done yet.

i love it when you get to the part in a book when the title is used.
might be tied for favorite thing about reading.
baby, it’s STILL cold outside.
and it’s march 29th.
saturday.
woke up this morning at 8am to a precious little alarm clock. (a 21-year old)
escaped downstairs to have a little “me-time” before the day started.
checked out my tumblr. had some coffee. read heaven is for real. (which is awesome.)
did a large amount of laundry.
made claire breakfast: gluten free toast, bacon, apple juice laced with fiber, a shot of grape juice...
anthro lovely.
i can’t really post anything too thoughtful right now. this week has been crazy. monday i had class all day, tuesday i was up at 6 to help get claire ready, i had an intense group therapy class, i went to the library, and all sorts of other things, have a youth group leader dinner. wednesday i woke up at 6 again to be with claire, was at school till 5pm, youth group, survivor, homework....
slap in the face.
this is amazing. and shows how much i love this girl.
yesterday and today i helped claire mac get ready for school…which entails getting her out of bed, prompting her to get in the shower, get dressed, etc. but the problem is that she is so angry in the mornings. i mean slamming doors, screaming, the works. and yesterday she slapped me in the face. hard. i don’t know if i’ve...
amy marshall.
i’m gonna start devoting blogs to some of my precious friends. sara kate comer monts already got a shout out. so, amy elizabeth marshall shall receive her 5 minutes of stardom.
Other than my family, i have lived with amy the most amount of time in my life. because of this i feel like she is my sister. (not to mention that people always ask if we are sisters) she has seen me at my best...
I went to jail.
Last night was not spent in the usual Friday night activities of eating Thai and watching a movie. I went to jail. For training to become a volunteer for a domestic abuse survivor support group and hopefully for Celebrate Recovery. It was four hours long and it was overwhelming. We sat through an information thing where we learned all sorts of things—-and saw some of the weapons that they...

I was going through some old photos. Love my Kate. Miss my Kate. I had to fill out an information thingy the other day and one question was who had had the biggest impact on your life. I wrote Kate Comer Monts. Duh. So thankful that the Lord gave me her September 2006. Seriously. College was a blessing because I had a companion and a friend who was my “go-to.” Thanks, Jesus. If you...
Your hair is messy.
I need to document one of the funniest dialogues between Claire and I.
I feel like I will probably have a lot of posts about this little love-bug. She has taught me so much about loving. It is really funny because I consider her to be one of my best friends. Yet our relationship is fairly one-sided. Claire can’t really DO anything for me that my other friends do. She can’t listen to...

seasons.
i am really thankful for spring. and for the fact that nature is not the only thing that experiences seasons. the Lord is once again being really sweet to me. i feel that there are obvious times when he treats me with special tenderness…and today was one of those days i felt that. he is being patient with me. i feel like for the past year or so he has been asking me to relinquish control of...
