As you might have gathered from the title, this is not a typical blog post.
This is an announcement post! Mainly with the purpose of explaining why things have been a little quiet on here lately and to ask very politely for your patience, but also to keep you updated on the exciting things that are happening.

It’s funny the life lessons you can learn from your younger
siblings. I think, as an oldest child, I always tend to assume that I’m the one
who has it all together. I’m supposed to be the example of godliness and
humility, and they are supposed to be following me. But, more times than not, I continually find myself humbled and

The title of this post is kind of an oxymoron. Mothers are amazing people, and though people may try to pin down their value, really, there is no set "value" of a mother. Because they are pricless.
My own mother has been a true testament of what a mother should look like.

No book had ever made me cry. When I read A Severe Mercy,
I wept.
Although the story centers around the life of Vanauken and
Davy, the themes in the book transcend their personal story, and even their
lives. From the beginning of their relationship, the Vanaukens deliberately
cultivated a very thorough paradigm of love, beauty, truth, and longing for

The whole “is-the-glass-half-empty-or-half-full” dilemma sort of confused me as a child. When posed with it, I would always answer “half full” because that seemed to be the right answer. Anyway it seemed like the better, happier option compared to being labeled a pessimist, which always conjured up images of wet blankets and bitter old men.

I experienced my first major movie-star crush when I was twelve years old. I just happened to stroll through the living room one Sunday afternoon and see my dad stretched out on the couch, watching an old movie on TV. At the time, I didn’t think much of it.
