Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone.


The house is still a mess, and I made the mistake of peaking in at the master bathroom's progress.....I may or may not have started hyperventilating but I have been reassured that everything will be fine.  My master bedroom is beginning to look like a war zone.  Because I didn't feel like sleeping in a room that had a toilet next to me in it, we opted for the spare bedroom last night which just so happens to have an extra long twin bed.  I'm sure two adults sharing a twin bed was a sight to be seen, but I decided to spare my audience any pictures in fear that I would be taking a T.M.I.(too much information)  moment to a socially unexceptionable moment.
.
Good news!  My dog just dug into our neighbors yard again!  Winston has been a real pain in the biscuits since he has discovered his new disappearing act.  We have been through some trials and tribulations with this little pup.  Ian and I acquired our three year old cairn terrier shortly after we got married.  At first, he had this awful habit of urinating on our guests or when he got overly excited.  We were told it was a puppy thing and he would eventually grow out of it.  We haven't really tested this theory because we just make sure he is outside when we have guests over.  However, he has came a long way in not having accidents in the house anymore.  On the flip side, in addition to his barking habit, he has discovered that he can dig into our neighbor's yard in 3.2 seconds...perfect.  The good news, we discovered he plays well with other dogs.  Our neighbors have three dogs of their own including a large hunting dog.  The bad news, our neighbors have two doggy doors in their back yard so THEIR dogs can go freely from outside to inside.  I'm sure you can figure out why this maybe a problem.  My biggest fear is that we won't catch Winston sneaking over there, and our neighbors will come home to my dog kicking it on their sofa.  SO Ian and I are trying to think of some ways to keep him from digging and haven't quite figured it out yet...


Anyways, I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  Chiefs in the playoffs, so that should be exciting.  Hopefully by Monday I will be able to sleep in the master bedroom again without being surrounded by a war zone, but from the looks of things today- I won't hold my breath.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...

Never Say When

At some point in my journey, I forgot that church leaders are flawed humans too. I have a tendency to overly respect authority for the sake of their position. I assumed, being a pastor meant that there is some how a higher spiritual connection. Consequently, I would turn off my own discernment in favor for whatever I was being instructed to do by our church leader. The person I have grown to distrust the most and the person I betrayed the most was myself.  Examples: Early in our journey, we had a small group. For the most part, I LOVED small group nights. Until we had a change of seasons. I had just had my third baby. We were living in a rental property while renovating another home ourselves. I was working on leading our developing children's ministry and feeling over my head. Ian worked afternoons so either small group would take one of only two family nights or would be when he was working, leaving me to attend alone most of the time. Our small group had roughly 10-15 small chil...
