The Steps, Not the Staircase: December 2011
http://stepsnotstaircase.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Steps, Not the Staircase. Friday, December 9, 2011. It started with a final rush of tossing and bundling and packing, as I squeezed a large pile of "essentials". you know clothes and books and Christmas presents.into every crevice and corner and pocket of my suitcases. Had I really already shipped 4 boxes? Funny thing is, both times, I was leaving New Jersey, about to embark on an "adventure" I never. Would have predicted years before - not even in my. It's been just over a week. I've moved into ...

The Steps, Not the Staircase. Sunday, March 10, 2013. This verse from Proverbs is a dear one to me. Although I had heard it many times before, it became most real to me when a friend shared it at a time when I really needed it. I watched this message recently and it really spoke to me. Have you ever been praying for that one dot? I hope after viewing this you find comfort in the message; I know I did! Twin Lakes Church/The Art of Living Well/Choosing and Planning Wisely.

The Steps, Not the Staircase: April 2012
http://stepsnotstaircase.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The Steps, Not the Staircase. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. I've missed several posts over the last few weeks, and I don't have a good excuse. It wasn't that I was lacking in good things to write about. Tonight, I am up later than normal, waiting for my laundry to finish so that I can pack my bags for a whirlwind weekend to the east coast! Yet, despite this, I can't help but also think of the pain and loss I've heard about over the last few weeks and days. Questions of "why" and "how" rise to the surfac...

The Steps, Not the Staircase: July 2012
http://stepsnotstaircase.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The Steps, Not the Staircase. Sunday, July 29, 2012. For such a short visit, we got in lots of adventures, including a hike up Silver Star Mountain. Check us out circa August of 2004. Two of our favorite pics (Josh likes the first one best). (It was a windy evening and my crazy hair is evidence to it! Lucky for me, Josh gave me an extra hour to sleep. He arrived at 8:00, coffee in hand, ready to go. He went right to packing.gathering snacks, filling water bottles, packing backpacks. You trust me, right?

The Steps, Not the Staircase. Sunday, October 27, 2013. Forget Me Not, Alaska (I won't forget you)! Graphic from vintage-ornaments.com. We sat on a grassy patch and gazed out to the water and mountains in front of us, all sparkling with summer's glow. Josh looked down for a moment, spotting a small patch of Forget-me-nots beneath us. His voice low, his eyes hidden by sunglasses, he whispered, "Forget-me-not, Alaska, I won't forget you.". Josh had arrived in Alaska eight years before, almost to the day...

The Steps, Not the Staircase. Sunday, October 21, 2012. Winter has arrived in Cordova! I know it's only October, but snow is on the ground, my mittens are a regular addition to my outdoor gear, and I've donned yaktrax. For most of my walks this week. (I do not want to fall and break something on the slippery ice . especially not before our wedding! Baby Baths in the Backyard Pool. Who thought bath time could be this much fun! Look at those smiles.they melt my heart.EVERY SINGLE TIME! Yet, the smell of su...

The Steps, Not the Staircase. Friday, May 25, 2012. To Futures Lost and Futures Won. Growing up, Memorial Day weekend was the official start of summer! I didn't always have the courage to do it for fear of getting in trouble.hmm.imagine that! It would just be days before school days would become pool days and school cats would become pool rats.as most of my summer days would be filled with hours poolside. Oh thoughts of sweeet summertime. Laughter, smiles, and chaos filled the air as each class went arou...

The Steps, Not the Staircase. Thursday, March 29, 2012. Wow, that was a quick week! How did Thursday arrive so soon? Though it snuck up on me, the good news is I am at no shortage for good things this week. I feel especially aware of how abundantly God continues to bless me. The only trouble is: what three good things do I choose? Forget the number; here is a more robust compilation of thanksgiving this week! Rainy days, warmer temps, and melting snow. Hooray! It has a way of changing your perspective (o...
