Ponderings

As I sip my tea, realizing how very remiss I have been, a lot of resolve is building in my breast.  So much of legalism has put my soul in blinding bondage. So much of that bondage has led me to revolt, run the opposite direction, and really just looking for a place to rest my battered soul.  Will there ever be an end to the strife and fight? So much pain. Move forward then 3 steps back again. I see how loving Christ really is a battle, for the Enemy does want to steal, kill, and destroy the beloved of God. Words like “deconstruction” which in the past were red flag buzz words, are words buzzing around in my head with less fear and more thoughtfulness. Or as I have affectionately dubbed on my blog, fleshing out vicissitudes 😎. Can I exegete my positions when the very word exegete both triggers me and also haunts me that there still is truth in exegesis? Nope. Can I paint broad strokes of positions and say “not there”, “definitely not there”, but definitely comfortable with “there”, ye

Guadalupe Mountain Peak

 The actual reason I started this new blog was because I decided to expand my thoughts on my recent trip to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. So hello if you came over from my IG or FB :)   2020 has been marked by many hard things, but more than that, it has been monumental in pushing myself outside of comfort zones. I've never been an athletic person (those genes went to my siblings) but even in my lack of athleticism, if I hadn't pushed myself to start working out in March of this year I would not have been in shape enough to feel I could conquer climbing a mountain. That's for other cooler fitness, adventurous, outdoorsy, hardcore people. Not me. And yet, there's something incredibly motivating when you see success in yourself in areas you never thought you could do. I'm a regular woman. If I can work out and get in better shape, you can to (bonus inspo you didn't ask for). I don't like starting new things, never have. But staying comfortable and avoidin

Fleshing Out Vicissitudes

 A short ish introduction post. It has been a life long habit of mine to create a new blog when there are shifts within myself. Case in point: Incessancy was my first ever blog I created when just a baby back in 2008. I then created Two Roads Diverged later in 08 when settling some shifts in my own perspectives. I changed the URL and name in 2010 to Catching Mere Glimpses when I was struck by C.S. Lewis-esqueness of all things in view of Christ. And of course when I got married in 2012 I made a new blog, Assertions of a Housewife , 1000 % inspired by Martin Luther and his assertions. I think what's difficult for me is to be open and transparent. I'm not always proud of who I have been, but if it weren't for the winding road I've lived and walked upon, I wouldn't be where I am now, and wouldn't have the drive to continue on in growing as a person. But part of overcoming the instinctive need to put my best foot forward and allow people to see the parts I like b
