Gracious Uncertainty | girl from the north country

https://amyovergaard.wordpress.com/2014/04/17/gracious-uncertainty

Girl from the north country. 8220;Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.” – Gilda Radner. Isn’t it funny, the way we have to learn the same lessons over and over again? There’s grace in knowing you aren’t alone. One is a passage from Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest,” called, Gracious Uncertainty. It reads:. Mollusk makes a comeback. What is it you’re running from? April 17, 2014.

a happy new year | schock therapy

A happy new year. January 7, 2015. February 22, 2015. I am on the brink of blessing. I decided this the other night as I sat on my boyfriend’s bed, watching a single tear drop straight from my eye and onto his sleeve, dotting the cotton dark. It was all so very overwhelming. Each New Year, the world is reminded of the reality of time. It passes, it promises, it. Starting with one small “yes,” I opened my heart to love, and I felt more alive and unworthy and full-to-overflowing than I’d ...So this past ye...

The Problem of Pain 2. November 21, 2013. November 21, 2013. I’ve decided to read through C.S. Lewis. The Problem of Pain. And share a brief synopses of each chapter with you all– both as a study aid to myself and a way to continue on the conversation that I started two months ago on pain and suffering. This book is pretty dense. I’ve started it at least 4 times and never made it past chapter 2, so here it goes…. Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that.”. His next point is:. The next sectio...

Smorgasbord | Living Fearless

https://bethanyofinnern.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/smorgasbord

February 14, 2014. My thoughts are swirling. Each one a single dish on the smorgasbord of my brain, suddenly being thrown into a giant calduron and left to simmer. The juices are mingling. Tentatively introducing themselves to each other like strangers at a New Year’s party. 1) Dinosaurs, the Bible, Science. 2) Homosexuality, Sin, Holiness. 3) Pain and Suffering. Mrs the Bible and Science has been a frequent guest, but I haven’t really given her serious thought. Who is God and who are we? And the Bible a...

Opening The Box | Living Fearless

https://bethanyofinnern.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/opening-the-box

January 20, 2014. January 20, 2014. Sometimes it’s difficult to say things. To put words on a moment, a feeling, or a thought. It’s there and then it’s gone. It flits in and out, like birdsong at a window or sunlight through a curtain. When this happens too many times and with too many thoughts, the resulting effect often becomes a numbing dizziness and disorientation. I have recently been feeling such effects. There’s too much happening and yet nothing happening, all at the same time. A gentle, yet pers...

Dauntless | Living Fearless

https://bethanyofinnern.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/dauntless

Today I sit at my kitchen table. It’s 11:24am. I’m still in my pajamas, eating a bowl of granola and drinking a cup of chai tea. I should be doing a million other things right now, but I just had to write. It’s funny how once writing gets into your blood, you can’t shake it loose. It beckons and calls to you like those little. In the movie Brave. I’ve been ignoring them for months, but today– I followed them down the trail. Yes A fearless life. What a gift! In the book Divergent, the main character has t...

Caden’s Birth Story. February 21, 2015. February 21, 2015. For those of you who I haven’t gotten a chance to talk with and are curious about how the big day went, here’s an update just for you. 🙂. Caden Willard Finnern was born at 7:49pm on Valentine’s Day. He was such a big boy, weighing 9lb. 5oz. and 22 1/2 inches long (the nurse who plotted him on the grow chart said he was off the scale for length)! When we got to the hospital they checked me and I was already dilated to 6cm! It was such an amazing ...
