http://abbylikessunshine.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 6, 2015. But last night, as I watched Gilmore Girls and ate chocolate on my small couch covered in a pink blanket, I realized.there are things I will miss about this chapter of my life. But there have been so many wonderful things about this season of "post-college single hood". There are moments that I will always treasure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Chronicles from the Fields.

Miss (In)dependent: December 2012

Thursday, December 27, 2012. Nothing Good About Goodbye. I hate goodbyes.as mentioned in this post. I get really weird about them. I tear up and never say what I want to. I'm much better at writing than I am at talking. Today I said goodbye to some of my dearest friends.I mumbled something about staying in touch.but here is what I really wanted to say:. Selfishly, I want them to be my neighbors forever. I want to help Bella pick out a prom dress and see how BJ actually responds when a boy asks one of...

Miss (In)dependent: March 2013
http://abbylikessunshine.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 12, 2013. I have been reading through the book of Isaiah lately. It's an incredible, powerful book. Over and over again these chapters talk about the justice of God. Justice is an important part of God's character. It cannot be separated from His love. He is loving yes. But he is JUST. Tonight, as I read through chapter 8 of Isaiah my eyes stopped when I read these words in verse 10:. Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with us.

Miss (In)dependent: January 2012
http://abbylikessunshine.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2012. For the past few days my heart has been.I don’t know the word.heavy? I go to sleep and wake up with a desperation inside. I want to scream at the top of my lungs. I want starving children to have food to eat. I want people to know that they are loved and that their life has purpose. I want to stop being selfish and live sacrificially. I want to stop making excuses and procrastinating and ignoring the truth. It doesn’t make sense. 8220;It is a poverty to decide that a child must...

Miss (In)dependent: September 2013
http://abbylikessunshine.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. 22 minutes. In 22 minutes I will be 29 years old. Can you believe that? I know, to some of you reading this, 29 seems young. And I realize that when I hear 20 years old rant about how old they are getting I say to myself, "This little baby has no idea! But it's hard to believe when you are here. When you are sitting on your bed at 11:38pm watching a Marilyn Monroe movie and all of the sudden you are 29. Where did the time go? Or, "why don't you put an offer on a house? 29 for ...

Thursday, March 15, 2012. I’m from the south. From please and thank you and yes ma’am. I’m from late nights in soft pews. From Christmas specials and long sermons. From church dresses. I’m from sunshine and climbing trees. From long hot days with cousins and sisters and popsicles. I’m from brush and mesquite and thorns and cactus. From beauty. I’m from fajitas and fruit cups with chile. From pinatas and “que chulo.”. I’m from mashed potatoes and sweet tea. From homemade birthday cakes. I Love Old People.

Monday, August 13, 2012. Just some truth I needed to hear today. Tuesday, August 7, 2012. What Are You Thinking? As I was getting ready for work the other day I was watching music videos on TV. The number one song, voted in by America, was SO RIDICULOUS. Seriously. I literally said these words out loud: "America! What are you thinking? Other things in today's world that just really confuse me:. The "paranormal teen romance" section at Barnes and Noble. Do these books need an entire section now? It's a st...

Miss (In)dependent: Goodbye.
http://abbylikessunshine.blogspot.com/2012/09/goodbye.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I have always hated goodbyes. I avoid them. I leave without hugging and crying and making it worse. I think it's too much pressure - trying to tie up years of memories and thoughts into a couple of lame, farewell statements. It's been so good to know you.". You will be great no matter where you go.". Nothing I say in those few sentences can really say what I want to say. I long for the day when there are no more goodbyes. No more tears. No more pain. I will say goodbye.
