I keep describing the last four months as a wild ride of trying to trust God, getting it wrong (or right for the moment, and then wrong, and then right again, for now *crazy eyes*), and questioning the mysteries of God’s will, my will, and the conflation of these two things into one mushy pileContinueContinue reading “Behold, A New Thing”

Making Space
At the beginning of 2020 and again at the beginning of the advent season, I wrote about the call to “make space” this year. This phrase manifested itself in a dozen different and surprising ways this year, but perhaps none more unexpected for me than my decision to step down from my role as DirectorContinueContinue reading “Making Space”
Things Beyond My Control
I am writing this in Word on my laptop in the living room because of things that are beyond my immediate control.A week or so ago, the buzzing from the doorbell xylophone in the hallway at our new home began buzzing so persistently and at a gradually increasing buzz rate that Brandon decided to flipContinueContinue reading “Things Beyond My Control”
Breaking the Workaholic
It’s the first TGIF of my first week at a new job, and because the week was so full, here is the amplified version: the (awesomely delicious) tortellini soup my (amazingly productive and generous) mother-in-law made while watching my three (exuberant, exhausting, active, loud, snuggly) children has cooled and is stored in the fridge alongContinueContinue reading “Breaking the Workaholic”
Holiday Greetings from Nine-Month-Contract Land
I’m a Donkey on the edge!Back in November, I surveyed the approach of the holidays, the onset of bowl season, the ramping up of my husband’s travel season, and the end to my four-day work-week on an 11-month contract. With all of the calm and clarity of a person anticipating the possibility of another mentalContinueContinue reading “Holiday Greetings from Nine-Month-Contract Land”
Status Update: TLDR
I learned a new Internet abbreviation this week, TLDR, as in “too long, didn’t read,” which has me all kinds of sad because, well, here you are on my blog that by design goes “on and on and on.” I am the definition of “long-winded.” Before you click away from this page after adding “TLDR” toContinueContinue reading “Status Update: TLDR”
Looking for the Goods
First off, sarahmwells.com is broken, and I’m unhappy about it. I kept hoping it would reset itself or just reappear, and after multiple attempts to contact customer service people at Google and at GoDaddy.com, I have given up, deleted the domain name entirely, and with any luck it’ll become available again in the next coupleContinueContinue reading “Looking for the Goods”
Sick Days
Know what I loved about today? This morning after breakfast, I cleared the dining room table with my husband and loaded the dishwasher. “What time do you need to leave this morning?” I asked. “Around 10,” he replied. Henry came in and tugged on my pantleg, “ILK? ILK?!””No, buddy, you already had two cups.””OHHHHHH, Nooooooooooo!”ContinueContinue reading “Sick Days”
The Road Ahead: Fall 2012 Outlook
We had a great weekend with the kids here in Ashland, the last weekend before Brandon goes back on the road for football season. It feels a little bit like a storm front is on the horizon. There’s only a few more hours of daylight to soak up before hunkering down inside for the long nightContinueContinue reading “The Road Ahead: Fall 2012 Outlook”
Today, I Wrote a Blog
This has been one really productive week at work. I left today with lots of check marks on my to-do list. I love lists – especially when I get to cross stuff off of ’em.By this time each night, though, I am just plain shot. I’ve been staring at this blog post for about thirtyContinueContinue reading “Today, I Wrote a Blog”
