Beauty in Brokeness

There’s something beautiful in the fragmented state of vulnerability. Tonight at college group we ended our fall retreat with an open mic night for us to talk about what God’s teaching us and share what he’s been opening our eyes to. Though there were a lot of tears and things said that brought compassion from [...]

Nostalgia

Life has been an absolute whirlwind of craziness this past week with midterms, minor advisement, graduate applications, work, sickness, and frustrating complacency in all other areas due to the busyness of work and school. Today has been a long day in Oceanside working on the many papers and projects I now have to focus on. [...]

It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got that Swing.

I love swing dancing. It’s my favorite thing ever. It makes me so happy. I have found myself comfortable in there. I have fun. I can’t stop smiling because I love to dance. It’s so freeing. Some guys are really easy to follow, which makes me feel like I’m doing really well. I can’t say [...]

The Climb

I rented the Hannah Montana movie tonight. (don’t judge.) It was actually pretty lame just like the tv show, but I absolutely adore the song she sings toward the end called The Climb. I’m not usually a huge fan of her songs, but this one was a whole different tone and message. I identify with [...]

What a weekend!

Many things happened this weekend but I wanted to share the two that stuck out the most.
1) We had a prayer send-out at church for those of us who are helping with the launch of a new church. I didn’t know this was happening on Sunday, I showed up for worship practice and we went [...]

School School Starts Today Sign Your Name on the Golden Gate

School didn’t really start today. It started two days ago. But that jump rope rhyme popped in my head. Day Camp you know….
So, school has been going pretty well. I still have one more class tonight that I haven’t experienced yet, but I’ve heard the teacher is very laid back. Can’t complain about that! My [...]

Good-bye Summer

I love being home. When August 1st came around this summer, I realized I’m leaving for school again soon. I registered for classes, got my parking permit, bought my textbooks. School is coming sooner than I would dare think. With that fact comes the realization that I’m leaving again. It would be so much easier [...]

Worshipping

We have worship at day camp every Monday. Nicole volunteered to do it with the kids and because she had no voice after returning from Hume, she managed to drag me into it to help her out. We came up with motions–lots of jumping and spinning–and taught the kids the songs. With songs like that, [...]

Duets

Oh how I love a good musical theatre duet. It always strikes a chord in me reminding me of my love for music. Tonight I tried playing “Take Me As I Am” Jekyll and Hyde. I would love to see that play. The music is beautiful. I have the piano book from when I was [...]

Just me

Hey all,
Just wanted to give you an update on my life at the present moment, though within 1 day of posting this, it will most likely change again. That seems to be the epitomy of my summer–everything constantly changing around.
Many of you know that I did not get hired at TCCS Day Camp [...]
