Oh, the randomness...: July 2006
http://melindavankirk.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Monday, July 31, 2006. So anyways, I am going to change things up tonight with posting a prayer on here. I have prayed a prayer like this many times before, but I believe that no prayer is wasted or too small for God to listen. Help me change my ways. Help me see the injustice and the part I play. Please give me the courage and insight to remedy it, to redeem this world in any measure I can. Posted by Melinda @ 8:54 PM. I can't...

Oh, the randomness...: RENT
http://melindavankirk.blogspot.com/2009/02/rent.html
Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. This past weekend I saw RENT the musical. Finally! Wow, it was incredible. And I got to share it with my wonderful boyfriend, which made it even more amazing. Afterwards I was thinking about which character I most identify with. Is it the impulsive and feisty Mimi? And it makes me wonder.how much community out there is 'real'? Or are there many "Mark's" in this world? It would be an interesting stu...

Oh, the randomness...: What do we carry?
http://melindavankirk.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-do-we-carry.html
Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. What do we carry? This past weekend I picked up the new Snow Patrol album. Overall I really enjoy it, but the first song is definitely my favorite. There is a line in there the fire, the fire: you can only take what you can carry. And then girls picked photo albums and guys picked their baseball card collection (or something equally sexist-ha! You can only take what you can carry. Hurt from that one per...

Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Friday, September 29, 2006. If you're exhausted from just trying to keep the hamster wheel of life turning, you're never going to enjoy the ride.". Hmmmthat hits home. Alot. Yup. Wow. I have indeed reached a place over the past 3 weeks where I was running in that hamster wheel and sure enough, have not been enjoying life. I don't even feel as though I have been living my life. Posted by Melinda @ 9:08 AM. On a related note.

Oh, the randomness...: Abundant Life
http://melindavankirk.blogspot.com/2008/12/abundant-life.html
Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Sorry, all my faithful blog readers :), that I’ve been gone so long. I’ve been thinking a lot about so many things, yet struggling to find the time to write them all down. So today I’m going to focus on the idea of ‘abundant living’. And for a guy, perhaps it’s found in a stable career, a loving wife to pack lunches every day, and children to provide for. Or for some of us (hello, introverts! For m...

Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Tuesday, March 14, 2006. Breaking the Generational Curse. OK world-changers, let's talk about something. I live every single day of my life believing I can make a difference in this world. Why? Because I am weak, and that means God can be strong through me, not me alone. And God is bigger than all the crap in this world, and so I believe I can do big things for Him. My friends, stop believing the lies! View my complete profile.

Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Monday, December 18, 2006. A Season of Doubt. First off, let me say that taking a break from the online interactions was hugely beneficial. I highly recommend it! But I find myself doubting all of these and more. I pray God will reveal himself amidst this doubt. He is the only true hope I have. Come, Jesus, come. Posted by Melinda @ 12:09 AM. Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. View my complete profile.

Oh, the randomness...: Better Way
http://melindavankirk.blogspot.com/2008/12/better-way.html
Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Song lyrics are life-defining for me. Sometimes I think music means more to me than it should but regardless, here are some lyrics that sum up beliefs of mine better than I could do on my own. :). I'm a living sunset. Lightning in my bones. Push me to the edge. But my will is stone. Cause I believe in a better way! Fools will be fools. And wise will be wise. But i will look this world.

Oh, the randomness. Just my thoughts on life, love, and the pursuit of Jesus. Monday, October 30, 2006. It's so close I can taste it. In fact, a slice of Nashville is coming here on Wednesday. So that is making me even more excited! And truth is, I get to meet alot of Cam's friends. People I have heard about for months: Drew, Caroline, Rory, Adria (sp? Thank you, Lord, for our friends.
