Truth #11: Puzzle pieces are Awesome!

February 7, 2014 Karen deBlieck

My shoes squeaked on the cold, gleaming floors. The bell rung, rattling my confidence. Why on earth am I here? I clutched the strap of my backpack and took a deep breath. I had been ripped from my home of ten years, and transplated Β in a whole new town with no friends, two daysΒ before I… Continue reading Truth #11: Puzzle pieces are Awesome!

Truth #10: We lie to ourselves

January 16, 2014 Karen deBlieck

After reading Outcasts last week, something from one character (Omar) struck me. He caught himself lying in his head. You know what I'm talking about: "I'm worthless." "I can't do anything right." "I have no gifts." I do it all. the. time. I go to this dark corner, in the cell of my own making,… Continue reading Truth #10: We lie to ourselves

Truth #8: Rules = Love

October 31, 2013October 31, 2013 Karen deBlieck

I snuck up the stairs, careful to avoid the third step which was squeaky. Closing my bedroom door behind me, I glanced at my alarm clock: 3:00 am. On a school night...I don't know why I bothered being careful.My parents loved me, and I know that. But there were no rules in my house when… Continue reading Truth #8: Rules = Love

Truth #7: (Almost) Everyone has a Theme Song

October 25, 2013October 25, 2013 Karen deBlieck

It was always in my head. When I lay on my bed late at night. When I hung out on the playground...alone. When I did my math homework. "One Tin Soldier" was my theme song. ...they taught it to us in school... ... ... ... yes, it's a really old song.... (pfft, why people always… Continue reading Truth #7: (Almost) Everyone has a Theme Song

Truth #6: Be Thankful!

October 18, 2013October 18, 2013 Karen deBlieck

It was the ugliest thing. Ever. And itchy! I'm sure my grandmother meant well when she made the sweater. But there was no way I'd wear it in front of my friends. Ever. The garish pink and turquoise ribbons guaranteed that. And there was lace... Ever. Still, my mother wanted me to say thank you.… Continue reading Truth #6: Be Thankful!

Truth #5: Your Dreams are Small

October 10, 2013October 10, 2013 Karen deBlieck

Your parents did it. Perhaps your father placed a hand on your mother's belly, and dreamed of your cherub face. Or perhaps they prayed over your picture, waiting for all the paperwork to clear, so they could finally bring you home. They dreamed... of doctors, lawyers, missionaries, world changers. And you have too... - of… Continue reading Truth #5: Your Dreams are Small
