Feeling 22

It\'s officially May! This historically has meant Birthday Month!.

  • Anger breeding intimacy

    I have found out something this week. I will not tell you what it is – if I think about it too much, my head starts to swim and I fear that I might burst into silent, red-faced tears.

  • God wants you to be miserable—and other lies

    I moved to beautiful Sydney just over a year ago, and let me tell you—there is a lot to like about this city! Beautiful warm days, gorgeous beaches, great food, and the people are pretty friendly too.

  • Sure Steps

    Like many women I am a lover of all things shoes. High heels, loafers, flip flops, ballet flats - you name it. I am all things footwear. I love matching the perfect shoe to the right outfit, for the right occasion. It just makes me step out with confidence.

  • Depression, Tough Love and Exam Stress

    I left the battlefield of my final Spanish oral examination still shaking with uncertainty and lingering anxiety. As I had been doing for the past two weeks, I made the usual long distance call to my mother and with eyes filled with tears, prepared to offload my worries onto her.

  • "To Be or Not to Be"

    William Shakespeare\'s famous soliloquy \"To Be or Not to Be\" asks an age old question that can be applied to all aspects of life.

  • Seven Lessons of Illness

    I\'m sick. Battling a stomach bug for the past few days has been rough.

  • The Judgement of the Lord

    Growing up in an independent fundamental Baptist church, I learned at a tender age about the judgement of the Lord. Images of fire and descriptions of sulphur formed nightmares in my youthful imagination.

  • The gospel is offensive...do take it personally!

    Repent or you will go to hell! These are the words that so many people struggle to hear. It is so confronting hearing a voice confidently exclaiming that we are going to hell if we don\'t repent of the sins we have committed.

  • Could a "bad day" be a sign?

    Sometimes I just have to write. At least in my world, when I have an \"off day\", I need to get away, find a coffee shop and write. Do you know the \"off days\" I\'m talking about?

  • Making A Move

    I was always that kid on the playground who would prefer to watch the other kids than participate in what I would deem to be \"dangerous\" activities.

  • Jesus wept. And then quickly apologised.

    She sniffles away the final remains of the last ten minutes of teary talk. Wiping her sleeve across mascara-streaked cheeks, she checks herself.
