The weather today in DC is dreary. Rain has been sprinkling the nation’s capitol most of the day, and it’s the kind of day that called for curling up with a giant cup of coffee and digging into a large book. This is how I felt about the weather. I would choose sunshine and 75 degree weather any day. Instead of complaining about the weather, I’ll share my Monday Musings. I started Monday Musings as a weekly post where... Read more
It was one of those days that I wanted to take my heart out of my body and set aside because it hurt so much. About an hour after arriving to work, I received a text. It was one of those that changes things in a pretty big way. To be completely honest, most of the day, my heart felt like had been ripped from my body, torn in half, and then placed back in.

If I could sum up March in one word, it would be the word… friends The Lord richly blessed me over the past month by providing me with an incredible group of friends from my church.

Chuckling, I replied that I obviously don’t have any experience since I am neither married nor a parent. However, my role is to take care of the children while the parents attend a class, where they learn how to be parents. This evening, as I waltzed in to... Read more
I’m sitting in front of my computer, snuggled up with a cup of tea, twiddling my thumbs, staring at a blank screen. My fingers have typed out a sentence, only to delete it a few moments later. You have officially been welcomed to my new site, but the looming question is What to write next? I decided that I would share two things that shape how I live my life. Obviously there are a lot more than two things that... Read more
I am thrilled to welcome you to my new corner of the internet! Previously, I blogged under “Musings From a Romanian Girl” on a free wordpress. It has faithfully served it’s purpose for years, and been with me through four years of college at Liberty University, seen me through some of the best and worst times of my life, and been an intimate part of me for so long. So, why the change? (more…) Read more
