It's been a very long time since I wrote a blog post. I don't fully understand why I've been struggling so much with this program over the last 3 months, but I have. Is it my boundaries with time? My mental perspective? Believing my overly negative mental narrative? I have been trying to figure it out so that perhaps in the future I don't let myself fall down this dark well again.

Lemon intently listening to C.S. Lewis Lecture on Eros Love, while standing on my Bible. My Prayer Warriors, I can't believe another month has gone by and yet I can. 8 months down, 4 to go.

But at the end of the month, when it's time to turn it into a cohesive response paper, I panic. There's too much to cover, what's my main point, etc.... And unfortunately I'm afraid my November respo

Hi my prayer team / warriors. I didn't write a post updating you all on last month, "Being Transformed by Scripture". Because, well, I struggled. Big time. I didn't connect with the readings and was very much stuck in my head. However, in the vain of full transparency and vulnerability, I am attaching my very ranty and down-heartened response paper for October 2025: As always, never forcing you to read it. Needless to say, I was grateful to complete last month. And despite my
