Time for a New 'Do'?

Ugh...I think I'm gettnig sick...boo.  I hardly ever get sick.  I'm like one of the healthiest people alive.  It could be the weather change.  Not sure.  All I know is I don't like it.

So today I made an appointment to get my hair cut next week.  It's offical, I am going back to short(ish) hair (but trying a different style).  I had planned to grow my hair out.  I had this vision of me as one of "those" mom.  Long gorgious hair done just so, perfect make-up, pre baby body.......WELL....as my hair grows longer and longer it seems to be finding itself up in a ponytail more times than not.  I'm excited and nervous.  Hopefully I like it,  I can see haircuts as being a bad idea while hormonal.  Here is a pic of kinda what I'm going for (only dark brown of course):



I also really love this but it has a few too many layers for me....but I really like the bangs....

We will see how it turns out.  It is only hair so if it looks horrible then....oh well right.  Can't look worse then this ponytail I've been rocking for a week now. 

On other news.  Many of you already know about my Dad's health problems.  He's been struggling with his heart for awhile now and frankly, it's a miracle he is still with us, but still needs a heart transplant.  Well a few hours ago I got a phone call from him saying he was heading into the hospital because his leg was in extreme pain.  It doesn't sound heart related but it could be a blood clot or something.  So I am just thinking about him today and praying for the best. 

Anyways...so today is Monday.  I was awakened WAY to early as my phone was ringing off the hook with sub jobs.  Which is great, but I just have a hard time finding motivation to get up and work when I wasn't planning on it before hand.  I decided to stay in bed and stick with the three days this week I've already committed to,  One day I will be subbing for a 6th grade class and then the other two days I will be subbing in a middle school as a choir teacher.  I can't say I am very music savvy, but I will give it my best shot and hope not to make a fool of myself. 

Well, that is about all I have to offer you today.  I hope everyone enjoys their Monday....Personally looking forward to another Monday night of quality TV including some Pretty Little Liars and House.

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...
