Welcome to the Hickstionary, a landing spot for all things H family.
I'm Heidi. He's Rusty. And together we have our beautiful babe, Beckett and a furry menace, Dakota.
I mostly use this space to brag about how awesome the kid is, whine about how naughty the dog is & share an occasional deep thought.
Thanks for hanging out with us as we figure out this [blessed] life!

Application

Conversation I overheard today:

Student 1 (riding in car- sees billboard that reads, "John 3:16"): "John 3:16. What's that?"
Student 2: "Only the very first verse anyone memorizes- For he so loved....."
Student 1: "Well I don't know it. Jeez."
Student 2: "What exactly do you do in Sunday school?"
Student 1: "Well we don't learn verses and stuff. We talk about stuff that applies to life. We don't talk about the Bible."
Student 2: "And the Bible doesn't apply to your life?"



Thankful for a God (and a pastor and friends) that help me make sense of how the bible does apply to my life.



"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Does it apply to your life?

Copy & Paste

No- not a copy & paste post of the latest song I have stuck in my head (it's "I Gotta Feeling" in case you were wondering. You weren't? Oh. Okay.).

Rather a summary of my week so far:
Sit.
Wait.
(copy & paste)

Pep rally around stressed out student. (May or may not include balloons, candy, nutella, HILARIOUS jokes, great stories, and more candy.)
(copy & paste)
(paste)
(paste)
(paste)
(paste)

Sit.
Wait.
(copy & paste)

It may sound boring to you. But it's a welcomed boring.



And includes a tan free of charge.

Another One

In case you were worried about me having Lisa Loeb stuck in my head all week- you can stop. I now officially have a new song stuck in my head.

(I posted on Rusty's wall, "1/2 way there" as in (almost) halfway through my time away. Not as in 'living on a prayer' 1/2 way there. But that too. A lot of prayers, actually.)
And yes, I'm really 'busy' this week. :)

random ramblings

It's a little pathetic how much I miss my husband right now. You would think he was away at war or something. Thank God he's not. And thank God I get to see him again on Monday. It seems like a long ways away but I'm sure it will be here soon.
But in the meantime. I. miss. him.
And not that this song's lyrics relate (at least 99% of them) but I have it stuck in my head this week.

Hopefully I don't have it stuck in my head all week.
Today I have down time. That makes me sit and think about how much I miss him more. Pathetic? Yes.

But UT has a great campus. And lots of friendly people.

And. I really like sweet tea so I'm pretty much in sweet tea heaven.

And I have to say, a great (free) breakfast and no meetings this morning is a not too shabby trade off. ;)

A Perfect Saturday Morning

Some people come for the shopping.

Some come for the atmosphere.

But everyone comes for the food.

“When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”
-Isaiah 43:2

Get Real Wednesday v.3

I already posted all about crying over cell phones. I really don't have to post even more ugly from this week do I? :)
