About Me

I love Jesus

My Interests

loving my husband more everyday, dancing in the rain, ben and jerry's oatmeal cookie chunk ice cream, listening to my record player, napping, seeing the world (which I haven't done much of at all), meeting new people, writing down what frustrates me about life, reading, discussing politics, quoting seinfeld, running, making my own clothes, trying to learn to play guitar, fancy dinners but also buffalo wings and beer, going to shows, taking ballet classes, birthday parties, weekend get aways, camping out, saturday morning cartoons, making chocolate chip pancakes for dinner, surprises, playing with kids, playing bingo with the nursing home residents!, economic justice, having lunch with my Nana and hearing about "the ol' days", watching movies cuddled on the couch with popcorn and my baby, going to art museums, plays, and dances, choosing love, human rights, making a difference

Consider Jesus

Beauty For Ashes

Isaiah 61 the Lord tells us that he will give us a crown of beauty for ashes. As I was reading through the story of Jesus feeding the thousands today, and as if that story in itself wasn't enough, it'...

Dying to yourself
