Just Another Update...

Wow, I am actually out of bed before 10:30 a.m.--that is impressive for me.  Today I am 37 weeks and 1 days pregnant.  That means I am 2 weeks and 6 days from my due date.  Crazy.  Next week, I HAVE to finish the odds and ends in preparing for the baby.  I still need to get car seats installed, pack hospital bags, and pick up a few things from the store.  I'm so ready to meet her and start my recovery back to a single souled vessel, but the reality of the life changes that are about to come are slowly sinking in.  I think no matter how physically ready we are, we could never fully prepare ourselves emotionally for what is to come.

Today we have a doctors appointment.  This will be more uncharted territory for us--making me a little nervous.  From this point on, the doctor will be "checking" for dilation.  It's all very bittersweet, because as uncomfortable as I might be I understand that it means I am just that much closer.  I am not anticipating any exciting news this week as she is still riding high in my "Cadillac uterus" and has made no effort in "engaging" in my pelvis.  We shall see, but overall--as long as she is happy and healthy she can make herself comfortable.

This evening we have a hot date going to a breastfeeding class.  I'm sure Ian is really pumped for this one.  I always assumed that breastfeeding was something easy and natural, but from what I hear it can actually be very difficult.  I am hoping with some guidance, I can ease into that roll with less difficulties.

Tomorrow we seriously do have a hot date.  May 2nd marks 2 years of marriage for Ian and myself so we decided we would celebrate tomorrow night.  Not completely sure what is in store for us tomorrow night, but I am looking forward to, what could be, one of our last nights out before we have to consider a babysitter.

Well, that is about all I have to offer this morning.  I hope everyone can find sometime to go out and enjoy the next few days of sunshine.  Until next time...

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...
