Re: Sinking the Will

Arianne Segerman — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 20:07:28 -0000

I like to think that eventually I will reach a sandbar on which to stand, and I can look back at the path I swam whilst continually sinking that will. And when I do, I will notice the stretches between the will bobbing back up became longer and longer as I went along. That will stayed drowned for the longest this last time (and it was peaceful there sitting at the bottom of the sea). I might even see sure signs that it was my surrender that led to the sinking, not my fighting and pushing the will down. Perhaps eventually it will no longer bob back up, but for now I can see the places where I was rescued, lifted, resuscitated. And then I journey on.

It's that lack of sleep that sends us to crazytown so fast. I hate that you're so far away today. I want to rescue you and send you off to a spa and make it all better when you get back home. Love you sweets. ::passes tea and cake and air fresheners::

Re: In which I get rid of my mobile phone (and learn a couple of things)

Arianne Segerman — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 12:42:18 -0000

This is everything I experienced when I had no phone for 3 weeks (after River put it in the loo). Slowly, I loved the no-phone life. I was a little sad when I got a phone again. We don't have a land line, so for safety reasons I had to get one, but I try to not be around it unless I'm being intentional (even if intentional is Instagram). So loving you sharing this piece of your life. xo

Re: In which I confront one of my great fears

Arianne Segerman — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:12:33 -0000

As one stage-frighter to another, I'm so nodding. And choking up at those pics b/c I know the fear you're describing. I started taking the metaphorical "first slot", not because I didn't want to prepare (I still do) but because the longer I waited the higher the anxiety and I'm just about having a stroke by the time I'm on the stage or camera. If I can get it over with I'm in a much healthier place.

I think so often of how the "big" folks in the bible were described as simple people. Flawed, not just in their characters but things like looking simple, stuttering, being bad speakers. I lean into that so much.

And I say you take up Pastor D on her offer to help. ;-)

I love this. I come from a very political family, and I'm pretty sure I registered on my 18th birthday and maybe threw a party about it later. ;-)

I also find it a bit magical that you became a citizen on the day my daughter turned one. Kismet!

Arianne Segerman — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:07:54 -0000

I hadn't herd of Call the Midwife but I can already tell I'll be obsessed. I'm still heartbroken over D.A. and I'm wondering when we'll be able to watch Sherlock via tunnelbear too! We also love New Girl and Up All Night for our laugh out loud needs.

Oh my. Tears for that mama belly that I sport, too, that I look at with shame-filled eyes. Oh my.

Dear one, you are so lifted up, and the way you feel is in that lifted up place, so it's ok. It's ok. It's ok. Be shattered and it's ok. <3

Re: In which I’m leaving on a jet plane

Arianne Segerman — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:01:30 -0000

Instead of the typical "take it all in" advice I want to say this: Don't take it all in, but instead notice tiny, small moments. Small voices and the small, insignificant mundane. Pause. That is where the beauty will be.

Love you and praying non-stop. <3

Re: Is ambition a sin?

Arianne Segerman — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 14:29:21 -0000

I'm completely nodding because Sarah Bessey told me to come read this, that maybe you wrote it for me too, and she was so right. The freedom you speak of here is very much needed, sister.

Re: In which I don’t have much else to say than this

Arianne Segerman — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:12:08 -0000

I'm processing, too. I ache just a bit to see your eyes and hear your voice again. It was the best kind of beauty there is.

Re: In which I’m not preacher or a teacher, I’m an artist

Arianne Segerman — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 20:47:12 -0000

I hope you always process it here, darling. I feel I'm often at a similar place in the life journey, not in writing a book but in living it all out as the voice God created us to be. I appreciate your call to just be an artist already, even if you didn't know that this was that. xo
