Notes From Graceland: A prayer.
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-prayer.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. I am wrapping my hopes and wishes in paper. I am tying them with soft, silky ribbon, and placing those dreams on the altar. A glass bubble of a heart, protected only by a material that is somehow more delicate. One misplaced breath and they shatter to the ground. That's the point of wishes, though. See? Creator of the stars, I lay my heavy burdens at your feet, baggage worn and tired, covered in sweat and tears and fingerpaint, a vain attempt to disguise my troubles. February 9 ...

Notes From Graceland: Late to the party: V Day
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2014/02/late-to-party-v-day.html
Tuesday, February 18, 2014. Late to the party: V Day. So I wrote this last week, but it sat in my drafts, all lonely and (accidentally) forgotten. I share it with you today. Ahh, Valentine's Day. If you're in a relationship, congrats. You've got yourself a date. If not,. I can't understand why. Give your heart to Jesus and he'll give you someone great. Who needs a relationship? Enjoy being single while you can. You are missing some part of you, like a limb. I tend to live in a little boat in a great big ...

Notes From Graceland: On earth as it is in heaven
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2014/01/on-earth-as-it-is-in-heaven.html
Saturday, January 4, 2014. On earth as it is in heaven. This afternoon, I attended the wedding of a dear friend. Jeremy and I met on twitter a couple of years ago, and he has been like a brother to me. Today, he married his. I sat there in the ceremony, humbled and excited by the event taking place, because I could so clearly see the Kingdom of God in front of me. Song of Solomon 8:6-8 MSG). I think there's a reason that the Bible uses so many wedding metaphors. A wedding is designed to be a joyful c...

Notes From Graceland: Wanderlust
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2014/01/wanderlust.html
Thursday, January 9, 2014. I didn’t set specific resolutions this year. There are already elements of my life that I am in the process of making new; adding a list of things to my already changing universe seems kind of pointless. I am already in the middle of a transformation. Give me uncertainty and emotional turmoil, and I will shut down. Give me security and peace and a place that I love, and my soul will soar, begging my body to follow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). March 2 - March 9 (1).

Notes From Graceland: The One Where I Lay Down My Sword. Alternate title: Let It Be
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-one-where-i-lay-down-my-sword.html
Thursday, February 13, 2014. The One Where I Lay Down My Sword. Alternate title: Let It Be. I am a bit of a dragon slayer. Fighting is all fine and dandy, until my hair gets singed and my arm is broken, and the person whose dragon I'm fighting comes over to ask for their sword back. Paul McCartney wrote Let It Be in 1970, yet his words resonate today. These are my words of wisdom: Let it be. February 16, 2014 at 11:34 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Notes From Graceland: The One With Perfection Anxiety
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-one-with-perfection-anxiety.html
Tuesday, March 4, 2014. The One With Perfection Anxiety. I have a bad habit of writing a post, editing it, picking over the words, and. I don't know why I don't post those words. It's probably some kind of stage fright, but for writers. Feels so old. (I said, as a thirteen year old) I also talked about The Bachelor. Finale, a show that I definitely was not allowed to watch. Ha. I'm making the commitment to leap, to jump at new opportunities, and to write. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). July 14 - Jul...

Notes From Graceland: Something new.
http://mollybrewer1.blogspot.com/2013/12/something-new.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. I take a breath and light a candle. I revel in the freedom and clarity that Christ has given me. Light filters down the steps of my fire escape. Cold chills swirl on the street below, nipping at ankles and grinning as they run away. It is the end of a year, one laden with heartbreak and promise, tears from sadness, of laughter and joy. I can say with certainty that I am sad to see this past year go, and equally excited with the hope of what tomorrow brings. It shouldn't have b...
