The Little Introvert that Could…Eventually
I’ve come to realize that most of my family is extroverted. Growing up, I had no idea what that meant and at times I felt very very different from them. I believe that I am an ambivert: a person who's personality has both introverted and extroverted features. I do have extroverted moments but I lean… Continue reading The Little Introvert that Could…Eventually
Created Creative
What was the first thing that God did in the bible? *Go on, I'll give you some time to go take a peek before I actually tell you* "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." -Genesis 1:1 (the emphasis is mine) In the beginning God CREATED.

The adulterous woman is thrown NAKED at Jesus feet in the temple. Her accusers are surrounding her and ready to stone her to death for her sins. But Jesus, writing something on the ground, not even looking up to acknowledge the accusers, says "Whoever is without sin may cast the first stone".

Ways of Being
Sonder the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Sometimes we live life completely indulged in our own situations, stuck in our bubbles.
