Seen

For a while now I've been trying to put into words why I've been away for so long. This year has been long and lean for me. In terms of seasons, I'd call it a hard Winter. My posting was scarce because I didn't know how to talk about it. I just couldn't find all the right words. Fact is, I'm still wrestling with that. About 30 weeks ago, give or take, I started a process of digging and dredging up wounds and hurts and bringing them to Jesus. The work has been both grueling and beautiful. It's been both ugly and a buoy. I'm learning how to pray in a way that brings those parts of my heart and my sin to the cross. In alot of ways, before going through this tunnel, those were just words. Now they are life. The setting was a small group of women. Strangers at first, friends at last. There could be no other way for me except to walk this out in a public way, having to be seen and known. By people. The risk was high because what was seen was d

what's really going on

I'll be loving (this memory) forever.

My sweet friend Lyn wants to know: What's your favorite memory from your teen years? //////////////////////////////// Do y'all remember the New Kids? I mean, surely you must. Even if you weren't in love with them, you can recall that they were like, a big deal , not that long ago. No seriously, it wasn't that long ago. I remember them. I even remember that move they did on The Right Stuff. You know, the one where you alternate jamming your elbows left and right at a 90º angle? I also remember Joe McIntyre being cuter. You know, less girly-lookin'. Here they are (or were), hangin' tough. Okay, so there I was, back in the early 90s, in love with Joey Mac, much like the young girls of today are in love with Justice Beaver. There was so much about me that was wrong. Joe was only the beginning. Exhibit A : I was also tragically in love with bad fashion: splatter paint jeans, beaded socks, pleats, bangs. Is it just me, or do those only b
