The world lies sleeping, snuggled up in cozy beds
Waiting
As the stars twinkle in the velvet sky
Waiting
As the silvery moonlight glistens off of snow-covered roofs
Waiting
As the chilly wind blows through the dark silhouettes of trees
Waiting
As time passes slowly by
Waiting for nothing
I lie awake
I wait, and watch
Wondering
Is this what heaven went through that night
So long ago

I’ve been sort-of postponing writing any new posts until my blog was done being re-designed (especially since, with the new design, I wanted to introduce a bit of a new direction for my posts)…however, that isn’t happening as quickly as I had originally hoped.

Light

Lord, send thy light,
Not only in the darkest night,
But in the shadowy, dim twilight,

Or when the moonbeam’s silver ray
Falls on my, but at high noonday,
When pleasure beckons me away,
Teach me to pray.
-Constance Milman

It’s true [...]

I don’t really know what I am going to write about right now, which is unusual, because I usually have my posts planned out in advance.  In fact, I don’t even have a title for this post yet - and that is normally one of the first sparks of an idea that I get.  So…just [...]

Who’s in control of our nation?
Well, the outcome of yesterday’s polls may or may not be what you wanted to hear - though I can hardly think that many of you didn’t expect it.  I personally stuggled quite a bit with the decision of the majority of America (And, if you supported Obama, please don’t [...]

You know those moments. YOU know…THOSE ones.
The times when you feel like God is preparing you for something…and there’s a yearning in your soul for whatever that is, even though you aren’t exactly sure what “that” is…and even though the prospect is somewhat scary?
Well…maybe it’s just me. But I’ve had one of those [...]

The Race

 
Today the Mansfield cross-country team raced Wellsboro - the team who came in 2nd at the last PA invitational tournament. Cassie came out to see Ben run! It was quite the race, but Mansfield did well despite the odds…and despite the fact that the first [...]

Today…here I am.

Today we hung out with the Roberts (for the second time in 2 weeks!!!), and went hiking…and it turned out to be a beautiful day just as I predicted.I feel like posting (part of) this song again (by Rebecca St.James and co.), because it [...]
