'25' list #2

today is sunday. one of my favorite things to do on sunday is read the postsecret website.
and i save the ones i love, the ones that make me laugh, or the ones that i identify with.

so today's list of 25 is...

25 of my favorite postsecrets that i've saved through the years (in no particular order)....



isn't this so true? sometimes, just a little love works


i love the picture that goes with this one...








you'll see a couple about being open/vulnerable...this is really hard for me, so i identify with these secrets....and also, as i was reminded last night (and many other times)....to have a real, authentic relationship with others, you have to be willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable...


you all are...every single one of you.






there will also be several about love....i'm a romantic at heart, i guess...
or maybe it's that i'm a girl :)




isn't this true of some people? when you're with them, you just feel at home.








the little print at the bottom is someone who responded to this secret.
it says, "maybe you're just a part of it." that's why i love this secret.


yes. every single time.
but it doesn't necessarily have to be a door...
helping you with your coat, walking so you are safer,
pulling out chairs...it's the chivalry thing. every single time.
















nothing like a great sister and good girlfriends


this is why i do what i do...


it made me laugh :)


the important things in life...



there you have it. some of my most favorite postsecrets.
if you noticed, there were more than 25. i couldn't narrow it down :)



*edited on monday to add:
and as i'm looking back over these favorite secrets of mine, i realize that some of them are directly tied to people and events in my life -- either they reminded me of a person, i identified with the secret or had the same thing happen to me, or i feel the way the secret says about people in my life. this is probably why i like them so much.
and this is the reason i l-o-v-e postsecret so much. we're all so different, yet so very similar...and connected in so many ways. more than i think we realize.

His Straight, Not Mine

Whenever I have a huge decision to make, I stress. My default mode is "what if I'm wrong??" This has been true for the last 10+ years of my life. College, mission trips during college, where to teach after college, quitting teaching, moving to Baltimore, leaving Baltimore, beginning seminary. All decisions fraught with questions, doubts, fears. And I'm there again. Graduated from seminary, looking for the next step. Wondering. Doubting. Questioning. Hoping. Dreaming. Fearing.  Every big decision is the same. You'd think I'd have learned by now just to decide or jump or trust or whatever. But no. The reason for this struggle is that I so badly long to do what I am meant to do. I long to follow God where He is leading, to fulfill the purpose He has planned for me from the beginning. But I'm only human. And so how on earth do I know what God has planned for me? And how on earth can I possibly do that without screwing it up completely?  I look at vers...

good for the soul

So, in my last post, I mentioned that I was headed to Atlanta to spend some time with some friends from college and that it would be the first time all of us had been together in about a year. I know I said it would be a surprising day.....and it was. Surprisingly good. The 5 of us have been through a lot together. A whole lot. The good, the bad, and the ugly. But, despite everything that we've experienced together, done to each other, and done with each other (or maybe because of it), the friendships remain. Maybe stronger than they were to begin with. I met 3 of these girls -- Becky, Steph, and Meghan -- freshman year through a mutual friend. They had all gone to high school together. I wasn't thinking that these girls would be such good friends when we met. We started hanging out together all the time. There were several times when we'd be in each other's dorms (along with a few other people) until real early in the morning. Many of my memories of freshman year of co...
