		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m officially back to &#8220;work&#8221;, and the transition has been interesting. I feel like I left the office on that Friday before we had LG with one perspective (a selfish one at that) and came back completely changed. Not only have priorities changed and passions been clarified, but my job description also changed while I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chameleon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Wednesday was my first &#8220;back in the saddle&#8221; of youth ministry at Celebrate Youth since my maternity leave (though I&#8217;ll contend I did more youth ministry while I was &#8220;away&#8221; than I had in the last few months). It was amazing to be back with the kids and the team. I am on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been out of the office for three weeks on maternity leave. While I miss what I do and the family I work with, this has been an incredible time of learning and growing and re-evaluating my life, my passions, my ministry goals, and my relationships. Being out has forced me to take my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read my previous post and I look at my little girl. For a moment I am ashamed of the feelings I had when I was pregnant with her. I am ashamed of my lack of trust in God, His plans, His timing. But only for a moment&#8230;because I can barely remember those past feelings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard it said many times: &#8220;be careful what you pray for&#8230;you may be surprised how it&#8217;s answered.&#8221; Pray for patience and God will give you opportunities where patience is required. Pray for more faith and God may give you opportunities where your faith is tested. I&#8217;m not sure that phrase is biblical, but it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I walked in the door of my house yesterday to find shades pulled, lights dimmed, and a box of saltines opened and lop-sided on the counter. Chris is home. Again. I peered out the window to find his car hadn&#8217;t moved from the place I&#8217;d parked it that morning. He didn&#8217;t go to work again [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life Journal: Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s January 13th of the new year, but it&#8217;s day 1 for me in a new beginning. Without spending too much time dwelling on the past, I will just say that my time in God&#8217;s word these past months has been pretty dismal, due to some major life changes and some real questioning of God&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The truth hurts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. &#8211;Proverbs 12:18 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. &#8211;Hebrews 4:12 There were days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everyday Greatness by Stephen Covey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyday Greatness is an inspiring volume of short stories from both recognizable celebrities and leaders and ordinary, everyday people. Honestly, I was expecting something different with Stephen Covey&#8217;s name on it, but if understood as it is, a compilation, it is indeed an enjoyable read. I appreciated the organization of the book into virtues that, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Relevance of the Gospel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in a conversation with a friend of mine about my role in youth ministry, and I accidentally allowed the word &#8220;relevance&#8221; to escape my mouth. I know that&#8217;s a hot topic among the youth ministry community, and I thought my own stance was clear, but yet&#8230;I wonder. A lot of pastors and youth [...]]]></description>
