Who really cares about poetry?

Posted by: Becca on: November 19, 2009

I cycle through depressive states regarding writing. Regarding the point of it. I always come back to this- the point of it is for me to cope. I know that. (but it doesn’t change my moodiness about the whole thing) It is, for as long as I remember, how I cope. The person I talk [...]

All kinds of updates

Posted by: Becca on: November 17, 2009

So, I have been minimally participating in the two challenges I posted about prior to this post. This month has not been as conducive to writing time as I’d hoped it would be. I have written some poems and started a novel. Barely started, but started. This is actually a pretty big deal for me, [...]

Beginning

Posted by: Becca on: October 28, 2009

To begin, I will begin at the beginning. The beginning of my very first diary, at least. It’s purple, with pink ballet slippers and red roses with green stems all over it. The inside covers are pink, the pages- lined and white, with a place for the date at the top. There’s a little silk [...]

What if?

Posted by: Becca on: October 19, 2009

Sometimes, even when I don’t think I’m praying, God likes to jump into my conversations with myself. Kind of like the person standing behind you in line while you’re talking to whomever you’re with (loudly enough for everyone to hear), who just goes ahead and tosses in a passing comment like they were part of [...]

Dream Interpretation

Posted by: Becca on: October 9, 2009

Wow, I am really irritated at the way I just had a post deleted while I was working on it. Really really irritated.
So this is going to be shorter and less involved. Because I’m irritated.
I had a dream last night. I was outdoors with a group of people I knew but couldn’t see and someone [...]

Lead, guide, bless

Posted by: Becca on: October 2, 2009

I hear the most from God when I am most extremely broken. The broken where you aren’t even angry, aren’t questioning, aren’t trying, aren’t asking, aren’t doing anything but being broken. But that makes sense, since that kind of broken is so extremely open.
Not that I don’t hear from God otherwise, but perhaps I am [...]

Damn it

Posted by: Becca on: August 27, 2009

There’s this saying that I’m not sure if it’s somehow Bibicial, or more a Christian myth, that the harder you press to God, the harder the devil presses after you…either way…Damn if my car is not f+#@*^.  I am so tired.
And all the other bills, the house, the complete lack of funding…the fear of the [...]

Thank God my Daddy is a Feminist

Posted by: Becca on: August 6, 2009

Feminism is…?
Rebecca West: I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute.
[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice [...]

…The soapbox is back.

Posted by: Becca on: August 6, 2009

There has always been this one passage in the Bible that I just can not be okay with. More than that, something within me rages at the words in defiance every single time I hear them. Nothing fills me with righteous indignation more.
So, here we go: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto [...]
