inprogress : Throwback Thursday Story - "When Strangers Collide"

Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:16:39 +0000

I love this photo and the story to go with it! Good gracious, though - how has THAT MUCH TIME gone by?! I remember watching your vlogs-before-they-were-cool and thinking how amazing it was that you and Mandy met on the internet and became such good friends. Fast forward a tiny bit, and my very best friends are - you guess it - ones I met online. I'm so, SO thankful for this crazy blogging world. It's definitely changed my life!

inprogress : Time heals all wounds?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:24:55 +0000

I definitely agree that healing takes effort - and it's HARD sometimes! But . . . I'd also say that the effort feels easier (in SOME cases) as time passes. Some healing - at least for me - just can't happen right away. Whether my heart needs time to breathe or God needs time to change me, I don't know. Maybe a little bit of both.

inprogress : I'm Sorry.

I'm glad you're okay! I've been hurt in the past because people didn't share things with me, things I could have helped with and prayed for. But at the same time, I know that sometimes it's hard to ask or tell. Sometimes it's hard to ask again when you've asked so many times before, or sometimes it's just hard to say the words out loud. That's actually how I've felt recently about a situation in my life - asking for prayer means admitting the situation exists, and I'm not quite ready for that yet. But again, I'm just glad to hear you're all right! :)

inprogress : One Thing

1. Lying is a big one for me. My best friend since 7th grade lied to me about something big last year, and even though we're still best friends and hang out every Friday night, things really have not been the same since. 2. Honesty. Sense of humor (the same kind I have, of course). I think there's an intangible quality to good friendships, where two people just CLICK. I love that. 3. Yes, I'd be my own friend.

Ohhh, this made me giggle! I'm stopping over from the Ultimate Blog Party, but I've been here before. I'm glad to be reminded of your blog and add you to the regular rotation! :)

inprogress : I have an announcement!!

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 13:26:58 +0000

Yay!!!! I am so, SO excited for you!!! I was JUST telling a friend about your book the other day. Now I'll be able to BUY her a copy! Can't WAIT to read it and share it with others. Congratulations, friend!!!

Your closets look great! I'd planned on doing the challenge this week but didn't get around to it. I'm really hoping she makes "desk in Mary's dining room" one of her hot spots! :)

Ooooh, these look so good! I love brownies of all kinds, so this is something I know I'd love! :) My recent post A single grain of rice

Awwww, I love that you all GET to have Alece for a while! I hope you have the most fun, refreshing, encouraging, funny, God-glorifying and friendship-sealing visit EVER! Big hugs to you both!

I think changing it is probably a good idea. I recently changed mine for similar reasons. Well, I don't have a book written or anything. :) And no, you don't have to make a new account; you just make the change in your settings.

inprogress : A Shocking Start to 2011

Sun, 2 Jan 2011 13:45:56 +0000

Oh my goodness! I was not expecting to read that! I guess that's the point...you weren't expecting this yourselves! How scary, Tam. I'm so thankful that Brent is okay. I'll pray for you all as you deal with the ... what's the right word? ... the aftermath (??).

inprogress : And now he's old too!

Fri, 3 Dec 2010 03:30:48 +0000

Happy birthday, Brent!!! :)

inprogress : Dear Dad...wherever you are.

Sun, 14 Nov 2010 23:20:25 +0000

I don't really have words. But, unlike most other days (bad blogger!), I couldn't just read and go on. Tam, you are beautiful, and I feel privileged to know you, if even just through our blogs. Hugs!!!

Lindsey Nobles : The Turtle in Me

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:46:38 +0000

Wow. It's awesome that she called you on that. Although, I suppose it might not have FELT awesome and really, would I want someone to point that out to me? But that's the thing, I do this, too. Also, I think I might resemble a sloth. Yet another reason to get myself in gear and get back to exercising!! :) My recent post Money for Nothing and the gifts are free!

Oh, Dedra, that is a HARD WORD! And a good one. And, um, one I needed to hear. Thank you.

Lindsey Nobles : Reconciling the Disparity

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:29:33 +0000

Lindsey, it was so good to see and hear you on Skype the other night, even if you were pixelated! Thank you for going and telling us. Thank you for being gut-level honest as you've done it. I've been praying - and will keep doing so - that your heart will be broken by this trip but not shattered.

P2P : Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Shows I'll Be Checking Out This Fall

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:15:06 +0000

I'll be checking out My Generation, although I'm already nervous. It reminds me (in theory) of Reunion, which got cancelled too fast!

I don't really have a favorite team, but I've already had this on my Christmas list - for my husband. And HIS favorite team is (sadly) the Royals. Or the Chiefs. Oh, no, he'd say the Missouri Tigers. Yeah. (I'm SO not into sports. Is it obvious?)

Mary DeMuth : Dreams Lost and Dreams Found by Holley Gerth

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:11:15 +0000

Oh, Holley. I just love you and ache for you and smile with you. Thank you for sharing your story - and your heart.

inprogress : we did a lot of this...

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:56:16 +0000

I don't blame you. If I had talent like that around me (and, to my friends in real life who will never read this comment anyway, I'm not saying I don't), I'd do a lot of that, too. Kass is a beautiful musician, and I'd love to buy a whole CD of her. (Or, you know, better yet - actually visit you and hear her in person!). :)
