life at The "Ville!

so this is my 10 year college reunion!! i find it hard to believe that i have gotten that old, but it appears i have. i spent some time the other day thinking about college days and decided it was worth a top 10 list here at my back door! so here are my 10 favorite (or atleast quite memorable) things from my life at the 'Ville. oh - i guess most of you would have no clue what the ville is....it is this quaint little baptist college in southern ohio - Cedarville University.

1. New Dorms as a freshman!

2. Life long friends

3. Tennis team - i could come up with 10 things alone about this one.

4. Grilled steak and chicken strip night at Chuck's

5. Campus security and fighting them in student court for my best friend!

6. sneaking back in to our dorm room after hours.

7. Christ is All I need, Oh Cedarville your call fulfill, I woke up this morning....hmmm, I guess i really do still think about chapel every day at 10:00

8. Hutch and Screamo at his house!!

9. 6 different majors!!!

10. telling Dr. Bartholomew off when he called me stupid in class and then showing him my 4.0 mug the following quarter. ( he was the reason for the final change in majors)

I guess some of these aren't all together godly, but hey, i was in college and sometimes my spunky attitude got the best of me!!!

all in all i wouldn't trade those 4 years for anything!! and i'm sorry that for most of you this is a post that means absolutely nothing!! but for the few alums that read this - you will know most of what i'm talking about!!!! for others, take some time to think back on those days and see how far God has brought you!

That was a great list, many of which I had completely forgotten. yes, it is hard to believe that we are "that old". we had a group of college students over recently and I had to admit it has been out of college for 10 years, yikes!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
