Oh Kirsten. You've been so much grief and joy and change in such a short amount of time. I don't know how your heart has survived, but I'm so glad it has. Happy anniversary dear. You and James were made for each other.

Happy anniversary! Your life story never ceases to amaze me. Your strength and faith are an inspiration. May God bless you with many, many more happy memories!

kirsten,
belated congratulations on sweet austen's birth! what joy!
we delight daily and thank God for our precious baby girl.

a thought on your blog post...kudos to you for sticking it out with your elimination diet! it is so hard for me to give up certain things. i don't know if you are familiar with the weston a. price foundation, but according to there school

2012-04-29T13:49:35.083-04:00

it sort of makes me feel better about my own wrestles with diet and adhering to health principles to hear your thoughts on being realistic while shooting for ideal :)

love to you!

2012-04-16T19:35:24.462-04:00

Sigh. I'm with both you and Christianne. Such a slippery slope. I'm going to write a bit about food and my body again later this week, but let's just say this hasn't been the best month for me either, and I've seen the opposite results of what I would like thanks to that slippery slope of rationalizing.

(I have to admit that reading about the exhaustion makes me

2012-04-16T19:13:12.393-04:00

Woohoo! Keep the updates coming, girlie! I so love reading what you have to say. And I found the warnings very helpful to receive. Even though I'm not (at this point) doing the elimination diet, I am trying to re-integrate some healthier choices in my life again, and you're right: rationalizing is such a slippery slope! It was helpful to feel the comradeship that comes from people making

2012-04-15T14:37:36.186-04:00

I'm with Christianne - given my own journey with my body and food, I don't think it's boring either :)

Looking forward to reading more!

You are so, so cute.

I have to say, I'm rather looking forward to this new series you're going to chronicle for us. You probably won't be surprised to hear (given my journey to better understand my body and food this year) that I don't think it's boring at all!

I've always valued your approach to your body -- paying attention to it, listening to it,

2012-04-09T21:43:34.006-04:00

This was beautifully written. I have always felt the same way. Friday is a day to remember the amazing sacrifice and gift. And the horrible way it all happened. Thank you for sharing your thoughts through this blog!

There is a part of me that is smiling, softly, wryly, and a part of me that is nodding as I read this post, Kirsten.

I smile just a bit wryly because yesterday I posted the famous "It's Friday, but Sunday's coming" sermon on my blog. I thought about the fact that it wasn't quite what I would normally say about Friday there, but somehow I needed the Sunday message

2012-04-06T18:47:22.100-04:00

beautiful. I love hearing your words, friend. (also- I feel very similarly about Good Friday. I was baptized and raised Catholic until my mom was "born again" into nondenominational Christianity. So, I've experienced the gamut of Christian worship and I always come back to my place of anguish and joy at the cross: the Catholic Church. Living out Lent, then the Triduum and

I happened upon your blog by accident a while ago. Reading this post, and Parts 1-4 also, brought tears to my eyes when i didn't think i could cry again. Thank you for sharing your heart (and truly God's heart as well). Echoing Terri above, you have a powerful voice to speak into dark areas, what an incredible testimony! God bless you.

Some preachers point out that Adam saw this fall happen but did not step in to stop it. Ie. the man is equally to blame in this context.

2012-02-22T14:53:13.861-05:00

Every time I hold the tiny child of a friend, I'm struck by the helplessness, and the idea that this is how Jesus came. I can't even imagine how much more profound and deeply striking that must be with one's own child, and the complete dependency solely on you.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Kirsten, they challenged me to remember the way Jesus came and reflect on that

@Kristy Z
I don't know of any books per se on lectio divina, but the Wikipedia article actually does a really good job of explaining the steps and what they mean. I'll have to check and see if there are any good books on the matter. But I will say, it's a pretty simple process, although one that can take you
