God Sometimes Gives You Wisdom in Order to Know What to Ask of Him

“Bonjour.  Je veux un six piece hot wing. Le menu.” (For those non-French speakers: I want a six piece hot wing. The combo.) That is what I said as my girl was speaking up with this African student studying in Nice. We had just come back from Monaco and I had won 53 Euros, which [...]

Grateful

So…. I took a break from everything, including writing. The things I’ve learned during my break stretch far beyond what I can write in a blog; however, there is one thing that is clear as day. Today, my pastor talked about thankfulness, and as I have been reflecting through everything that has occurred in my [...]

The Price Tag—Ultimatums and Whatnot

So in response to a commenter (I have commenter’s people! I’m soooo happy), she basically told me if he does nothing, I do nothing. And that’s exactly what I plan to do plus some extra. If I could label Summer 2010, I’ll label it, “Put a price on it.” And that’s what I’ve decided to [...]

Growth (Europe-Day 7)

One week way away from everything that I know has drastically changed my perspective. I don’t know if it’s the air that’s forced it into my conscious or if it was my opened mind that’s allowed change. Whatever it is, I welcome it fully. What’s truly weird is that I haven’t prayed much traditionally, more [...]

Two Models and An American Girl (Europe, Day 3)

So tonight was amazing, early night, yet amazing! It started when my cousin decided to ask me out with some of his friends again, two models and singer/songwriter/etc. To start the nnight off, we were in this China/smokey lounge place and it was great. Drinks, great music, guitar, singer, amazing people…what else would one need! [...]

Europe–Day 1

So today is the day that I take off! Yes! Take off from Atlanta, from home, from basically everything that I’ve known. I’ve decided to participate in two programs that will ultimately open my eyes and allow me to see things completely differently. As I’m sitting here in the airport, and the World Cup is [...]
