So, I mentioned in my last post that I was going to bee school, I think. Well, hubs and I went to bee school! We took the NC certified beekeeper written exam and hopefully passed it. We sat in a room with over 100 other people while various beekeepers gave lectures for 9 hours. It [...]

My husband says that even though I know people are never going to do the right thing, I still expect people to do the right thing. I hold high standards. Sometimes those standards aren't really fair because I form the ideas of what I want people to be based on what will make ME happy [...]
When you’re in the service industry
I've been thinking a lot lately... Or, like, since graduating. I've been thinking about how my jobs since acquiring my bachelor's degree have been in fields where I don't use that degree at all. What's the point? I work with kids and I work in the service industry. Honestly, I love both, most of the [...]
Pro-life
I'll try to keep this brief. I'm very tired of online discussions. This is meant to be informational and straightforward and I've linked several other resources within the post. Let's just get straight to the point. Number one: I do not like abortion, but I do not support making abortion illegal. In practice, abortion law [...]
Va bene / in Italia
I'm really afraid of flying. I already wrote about that. What I didn't say was how much I'm REALLY AFRAID OF FLYING. I thought my flight to Dallas was bad. Then I got on a flight across the Atlantic and figured out how scared I actually am. I didn't used to be, but I get [...]
It is finished.

Non è mai facile
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” - Isaiah 30:21 // Quando andrete a destra o quando andrete a sinistra, le tue orecchie udranno dietro a te una voce che dirà: «Questa è la via; camminate per [...]
“You are more loved than you will ever know by someone who died to know you.”
I've never really been much for people. And by that I mean I'm one of the most introverted people you'll ever meet, even if I don't show that on the outside. I've always been quiet. Most of the time, I'm fine blending in with the background. But sometimes that can be a really dangerous thing. [...]
Courage, dear heart.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 I've been [...]
The Insanity of God. Six.
Before I begin my sixth and final post in the Insanity of God Series (which you can find here), I'd like to say thanks to Nik Ripken for writing this and retweeting my post that one time and being okay with me using his words. And thanks to you, readers. This has been fun. Let [...]
