Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: Redefining Healthy

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2013/04/redefining-healthy_6357.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Health·i·er,. Health , or. As far as I can tell, the above definition is a very good thing. The majority of the world sees being 'healthy' as an ideal to strive towards. To me, however, the term healthy has taken on a distorted definition. As someone who has dealt with eating issues for more than half my life, I don't think I have ever been fully healthy, as the above definition describes it. Maintaining a weight that is appropriate for my height.

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: to be vulnerable is to be courageous

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2013/12/to-be-vulnerable-is-to-be-courageous.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Saturday, December 14, 2013. To be vulnerable is to be courageous. You can choose comfort or you can choose courage. You can't have both.". Finding yourself in a place where all pretences and facades have been stripped away - where compartmentalization is no longer an option - is quite possibly the most humbling experience a human being can have. To be raw, unguarded, and exposed is excruciatingly painful, yet I'm learning that maybe this is how we're meant to live.

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: January 2012

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Thursday, January 12, 2012. All I Ask Is That You Make Time. And now for the real reason I reappeared on this blog! I posted something on Crackbook (as my dearly beloved prof from last semester, Percy, calls it [for good reason]) about an hour ago. Just a short little status update, but it holds significant meaning in my life right now, and apparently it struck a chord with a lot of people. I really don't want to hear anyone say, "Well, clearly you're just not pursuing t...

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: Creating a New Frame of Reference

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2013/06/creating-new-frame-of-reference.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Sunday, June 23, 2013. Creating a New Frame of Reference. You all know how I work. I read something or I hear something, and my mind starts spinning a mile a minute and I have to get it out. This morning is another one of those times, so bear with me. Children make sense of their world by using their experience as a frame of reference. The nightly tuck-in routine became this six year old girl's point of reference - her source of comfort, her go-to place. Firstly, I need ...

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: June 2012

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. An Issue of Identity. Man, I feel like I'm obsessing over this idea of authentic community. I literally can't go a day without thinking about what it means, and how it relates to my life in the moment and in the future. I think I've been believing the lie that I can't experience community until I move away from Hamilton. That feels so true but only because I'm not being intentional about branching out and meeting new people in the area. I...I don...

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: April 2013

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Saturday, April 20, 2013. As Iron Sharpens Iron. Second blog in a day. Only happens once in a blue moon! I'm sitting here on my friend's bed right now and she's fast asleep next to me. The sound of her breath - in, out, in, out - a familiar rhythm that quiets my racing thoughts. That's been a relatively common occurrence here on L3E over the past few months. I'm struck by just how thankful I am to have friends with whom I can just be. I'm beginning to live that out.

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: February 2013

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. The Body of Christ at Gordon College. I've been here at Gordon College for 5 weeks and 2 days - no, I promise I'm not counting intentionally. I've just got a running calendar in my brain. I'm adjusting very well, and I truly know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has placed me here at Gordon for such a time as this. Verses 25-26 (MSG) say this:. If the people reading this take only one thing away, let it be this:. Sunday, February 10, 2013.

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings: What Does It Mean To Show Up?

http://dontdespisehumblebeginnings.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-does-it-mean-to-show-up.html

Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. What Does It Mean To Show Up? So, I am THE master procrastinator. I know a lot of people try to claim that title, but I promise that it belongs to me. When I woke up this morning, I fully had the intention of getting to work right away on the few things I have to do for my internship today, and it's noon and I still haven't even opened up a document to start. What has my method of procrastination been today? Sometimes, life just feels so hard....
