One life. One chance to give it my all. So what have I attained as I near 35? So far I have gotten myself ?2 pounds of excess weight, @#,000 worth of debt, no man, no good prospects of a man, and a 12-year subscription to “Hi, my name is Angela and the soup of…

That’s what she said
I don’t know about you, but there is nothing in me that wants religion. I want authenticity. I want it from other people, from myself, and most definitely in my relationship with God. I want the thrill of knowing the God who created everything and loves all these billions of people whether they know it…
Road Trip (the final fronteeyah)
Read parts one and two first if haven’t already! Tuesday morning: Big Apple time! We had an awesome, huge breakfast at the diner with my dad and Sheryl, and then my dad dropped us off at the Rockville Centre LIRR train station. We’d missed rush hour, but the train was still full, with no two…
Road Trip! (pt.deux)
For part one, click here!! https://livingwelljournal.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/road-trip-pt1/ Sunday morning we were greeted with some disappointing news: it was raining at the beach in Maine where we were planning to visit Thiago’s uncle Fernando’s family. We optimists donned our bathing suits anyway and took off for our day trip to the East coasts’ northernmost state….
Road Trip! (pt1)
I have been craving “vacation” for quite some time now. It has been a year since I had the opportunity to get away from the normal routine and explore uncharted territory, so to speak. My friend Thiago was planning a trip to Boston to see his grandmother, whom I have met twice before and absolutely…
New
Without pain there is no birth. 2012 wasn’t a lot of fun for me. I’ve lost relationships,lost my grandfather, gained a few pounds, fallen flat on my face, and been forced to reevaluate what it means to be a Christian and part of a church. Sure, the cruise to the Bahamas was fun but overall,…
Finally, Spring
Tonight I feel the urge to blog, although there is both too much to say and too much I’d rather not say. For the sake of being authentic, not for sympathy or judgment or whatever, I will try to get some of this past year on <paper?>. It’s been a tough year, friends. As I…
Just thinking..
Read this on a blog and thought it was beautiful. I’ve been thinking alot lately about how the Lord Jesus intended his church (aka the people who know and love him) to function as a body of believers, and this spoke to me in its simplicity. “If you’re looking for the 9 marks of a…
Family
Psalm 68:6- “God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” Last night at Community Group, which is our weekly small group time for fellowship and Bible study, we played Cranium. It was so fun and it was great…
Please don’t read this.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.” So failing at obeying this passage right now. I’m not quite sure where or how it started but I have been pretty much doing the opposite. I have had a hard time praying,…
