Monday Musings – Rainy Day Edition

Last updated on: April 7, 2014 at 10:26 pm By Chelsea Patterson

The weather today in DC is dreary. Rain has been sprinkling the nation’s capitol most of the day, and it’s the kind of day that called for curling up with a giant cup of coffee and digging into a large book. This is how I felt about the weather. I would choose sunshine and 75 degree weather any day. Instead of complaining about the weather, I’ll share my Monday Musings. I started Monday Musings as a weekly post where... Read more

Kiss the Wave

Last updated on: April 3, 2014 at 4:28 am By Chelsea Patterson

It was one of those days that I wanted to take my heart out of my body and set aside because it hurt so much. About an hour after arriving to work, I received a text. It was one of those that changes things in a pretty big way. To be completely honest, most of the day, my heart felt like had been ripped from my body, torn in half, and then placed back in.

March Joy Project

Last updated on: April 1, 2014 at 9:43 pm By Chelsea Patterson

If I could sum up March in one word, it would be the word… friends The Lord richly blessed me over the past month by providing me with an incredible group of friends from my church. When I first moved to D.C., I struggled a lot with loneliness. In hindsight, I’m thankful for that season where I didn’t have close friends around me because I got to lean into the Lord in a new way. My roommates and close... Read more

Trust Me

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 2:40 am By Chelsea Patterson

This evening, I walked the 10 minute walk home from the metro in the dark and the chilly pouring rain. A few minutes into my walk, I put away my umbrella and allowed the cold drops of water to fall onto my skin. The rain mixed with the tears that involuntarily feel from my eyes. My heart was overwhelmed and I cried out to my Father. When the cares of my heart threaten to take my eyes off the Lord,... Read more

A Life Taken and Life Given

Last updated on: March 28, 2014 at 4:18 am By Chelsea Patterson

Volunteering with the local crisis pregnancy center is one of the great joys of my time in DC. A few months ago, I was asked to help out with a parenting class. Chuckling, I replied that I obviously don’t have any experience since I am neither married nor a parent. However, my role is to take care of the children while the parents attend a class, where they learn how to be parents. This evening, as I waltzed in to... Read more

Two Things That Shape My Life

Last updated on: March 26, 2014 at 3:27 pm By Chelsea Patterson

I’m sitting in front of my computer, snuggled up with a cup of tea, twiddling my thumbs, staring at a blank screen. My fingers have typed out a sentence, only to delete it a few moments later. You have officially been welcomed to my new site, but the looming question is What to write next? I decided that I would share two things that shape how I live my life. Obviously there are a lot more than two things that... Read more

Welcome To My New Site!

Last updated on: March 24, 2014 at 2:59 pm By Chelsea Patterson

I am thrilled to welcome you to my new corner of the internet! Previously, I blogged under “Musings From a Romanian Girl” on a free wordpress. It has faithfully served it’s purpose for years, and been with me through four years of college at Liberty University, seen me through some of the best and worst times of my life, and been an intimate part of me for so long. So, why the change? (more…) Read more
