God, I failed you...again!

October 30, 2012

God, The view in the mirror right now grosses me out. Seriously. Over the last several weeks I have allowed things to get out of whack. Unbalanced. I am listening. Balance. That word just seems to haunt me. I desire it in every fiber of my being but I can't seem to manage it. Instead I let being unbalanced manage me.

I am in awe. Frozen. And slightly scared to move thinking I will wreck it all. But on the inside I am ...

God, I really wanted THAT lime.

October 4, 2012

God, I was picking limes off our tree that just overflows with sweet little green gems and there at the tippy top, smack in the center, was THE lime I wanted. It looked so perfect! But I couldn’t figure out how to reach it. I wasn’t tall enough even if I had gotten a ladder. Plus, the idea of being jabbed by all the thorns didn’t seem fun. So what did you do? Well I thought maybe if I got in the center of the tree, I could go from underneath it. In my mind, I should have been able to reach ...
