for a while when i was in highschool, i wanted to be natalie merchant. i had a full-length mirror behind my door, so i’d close it and turn up this song and do my hands just like she does.
yesterday: loran turned twenty-nine years old.
lately: everynight, getting in bed w/my books and a hot mug of honeybush. remembering to take my allergy medicine.
always: learning how to accept grace.

BOOKS I WANT:

animal, vegetable, miracle: a year of food life by barbara kingsolver
living the cross centered life: keeping the gospel the main thing by cj mahaney
the discipline of grace by jerry bridges
creative counterpart: becoming the woman, wife and mother you have longed to be by linda dillow
chosen by God by rc sproul
essential truths of the christian faith by rc sproul

also, my favorite sunday night thing to do is to make granola and then get in bed w/lo and watch globe trekker on pbs.

“Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil. The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object. It is better to forget about yourself altogether.”_C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
