MAC

So, a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with another MAC (Mycobacterium Avium Complex) which is extremely frustrating, no matter how happy I am to know what is wrong. I’ve started treatment, which co...


I wish I could google what’s wrong with me. It all started with my lung condition… And then a few weeks ago I began to notice increased shortness of breath… I’ve had this before. In October of 2...

Sin and it's forms

Recently a church that I know to be Bible believing and God fearing baptized a girl who is homosexual. There was a bit of a disagreement between some members of this church that I know personall...

Detox

Well, a few weeks ago I started taking probiotics from Plexus. I was warned there would be detox… and boy is there! My face is just disgusting lately, as my acne has flared up hard as the toxins...

Tired.

I feel like I’ve been tired for a really long time. Today it’s overwhelming. The past couple days all I can think about is getting back to my bed, or at least cozy on my couch. I don’t want to...

Mean

Sometimes I’m mean to people at work for no reason, I don’t even fully understand why. I think it’s because I just really hate being here, even though I have an amazing job. That makes me sad, ...

Specialist

Annoyed because my appointment that I was to have today with the specialist somehow got cancelled. Weird, and frustrating. It’s another month before I can see a specialist again… in the meantim...

Uniqueness

(Here is what I said last night when I spoke at the ladies’ event at my church. Perhaps someone here will find it encouraging.) When it had first been suggested that I speak today, I laughed, sh...

Speaking and Exams

So today is the big day. I’m speaking at Girlfriend’s Cafe this evening which is an event at our church for ladies to get together, eat some snacks, and connect with one another. That’s nerve wr...


Well, I had said I wouldn’t buy new fabric or patterns until I had done at least 5 projects from what I already owned. I did two. Well, two and a half… I did a muslin of a vintage dress that did...

Struggle

Today is a struggle. Just feeling overly emotional. NO ONE DO ANYTHING TO SET ME OFF! I’ve been praying, so I think I can keep a handle on it with God’s help… I was thinking about how I tend t...

Coat Project

I bought a pattern for a coat that I just fell in love with. Challenges: - I’ve never done a lining in any of my sewing projects, so this will be a first. - I’ve never made anything from a PDF pa...

I did it!

It’s been two weeks since I’ve walked to work. After that fever, I wasn’t able to because I just couldn’t catch my breath. It was hard, it took me 10 minutes longer than normal as I had to walk ...

Valentine's Day

Normally we don’t really celebrate too much… we’ll order in food (often Sushi) and probably eat it while NOT watching tv… so romantic, and I love it! Well on Sunday on the way to church I suggest...


I’m very prone to feeling down… it happens so easily, and I don’t like it. I want the joy of the Lord to always be in my heart and mind, so that I remember that life is about more than just what ...

Inconvenience

Sometimes to enter into the presence of God we have to be willing to be inconvenienced and uncomfortable. Great things await us.

Dr. Myers, Respirologist

Impressive. But not in a good way. In a call-in-the-med-students way. That’s how the doctor described my lungs when she looked at the CT scan. So… ya. 2 of the 6 parts of my lungs are either n...

WEIRD DREAM!

So, I had a really weird dream last night… I dreamt I was in the hospital… not really a patient, just kind of there. I had friends who worked there. Well, the doctors were talking about trying t...

ASL

Tonight I’ll have my second ASL class. The first one went SO well! I walked in feeling so unprepared, but I picked it up pretty fast in the first class. I remember when I was in Brownies we lea...

Teach me to pray.

I started a sewing project on the weekend. A challenge. A pair of shorts. I don’t even wear shorts, but I have this beautiful green and gold material that I just picture as shorts, so I’m givi...

I"M GOING TO BE AN AUNTIE!

So… I’m going to be an auntie. I mean, I already am on my husband’s side, as his brother has kids… but for some reason this feels different. My brother and his wife are adopting! I couldn’t be ...

Lungs and Homosexuality

This whole lung issue thing is exhausting! I wake up tired, I walk to work and it’s SO draining, walk home after work and I’m useless for the rest of the day. I just am tired all the time… make...

Ambitious

I’m feeling so ambitious. I have so many goals, and this year just feels so wide open and full of possibilities, and maybe I can achieve my goals. Goals: 1. Read through the whole Bible. 2. Writ...

New Years Eve

Tonight: We are hosting our annual New Years Eve Fondue and will have five people joining us. I think that will be a record, if we can fit them all around our table in our tiny kitchen… it’s lik...

Christmas!

We had Christmas this past weekend. Saturday with my family and Sunday with Ben’s family. For Saturday with my family I had planned a kind of minute-to-win-it game, ending with a sword drill whe...


Book Description

Opendiary is shutting down, and many friends are moving here. I hate to start this, not knowing if I will continue, but here it goes.
