The Past

August 20, 2010 eating disorders

I left my parents at the airport on bad terms. It was such a sudden twist of mood—the whole family drove together in one car to Dulles Airport, enjoying the final moments together. And then we found out that one of my luggage was over the weight limit. The one with the three jars of [...]

Well-Rounded Confidence

July 14, 2010 dinner event

I’m confident in a lot of things…but beauty is not one of them. Okay, I’m so embarrassed to admit this—but hey, no matter what, I’m still a girl…and I’m vain as a peacock. Like everyone else, I like to look good. I like to get compliments from others. I want girls to look at me [...]

Pampered

August 21, 2009 eating out

I just hung up after speaking with my parents, and here I am sitting on my new desk, sipping on a fresh-brewed cup of Vanilla-biscotti coffee, and relishing the first few moments of the start to my life as an independent college student… My dad’s last “sermon” to me is still ringing clear in my [...]

Life Ain’t Sweet

August 1, 2009 blog awards

Most of you already know this: I hate desserts. Really, I do. Not to say I don’t like baking them, or staring at them through the clear glasses in a bakery.

Blemishes or Beauty Marks?

This time tomorrow, I’ll once again be a youth leader. I guess I never told you that I used to be a leader in our church’s youth group. I [...]
