I have been job hunting for four years. That is not me hyperbolizing or embellishing for dramatic effect. It has been four long years of writing cover letters and sending applications off into the void. Four years of wondering why no one is interested in working with me, and if there is something wrong with […]
Growing Pains
To those who wait
You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place. The Waiting Place… …for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, […]
I’m not together but I’m getting there
If you did a quick internet search, I bet you could find a million blog posts extoling the virtues of autumn. People love fall, man. Decorative gourds! Pumpkin spice lattes! Putting your duvet back on your bed! Wearing scarves and sweaters again! Leaves turning yellow and red! I love all of these things too. As […]
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Don’t worry, I’m still alive. I’ve just been feeling extremely non-share-y (it’s a real term, I just made it up) over the past few weeks.

We talked about boys, music/concerts, interior design and God which are pretty much my favourite conversation topics. I love going over there because their house is always so light and peaceful and happy and I usually […]
She’s Leaving Home
Over the course of the past week-ish, several major life milestones were reached. First, Roomie and de Funk got married. Then, little Levi turn one whole year old. And then, I found a new roommate. Ok so that last one isn’t really a major life milestone…but for all the stress and sleepless nights it caused […]
This is my prayer in the fire
“I know that my circumstance and this season doesn’t change the fact that God is still God. It doesn’t change what God has called me to be or what He’s called me to do. He’s still on the throne, in heaven. He still rules. And He’s still bigger than everything that I’m facing.”
What are you aiming for, out here alone? I said I’m aiming for home.
Oh hey internet! I’m alive still, don’t worry. Things have been a little humdrum in Sarahland the last few weeks so I haven’t had much to write about. Here’s the gist: • Roomie is getting married in three weeks and I still haven’t found anybody to move in with me. So the quest for a […]
