Summer Soundtrack

Where did my day go?  Wow.

So while waiting for Haley to fall back asleep (I've been working on not rocking her completely back to sleep at night, so it's been a very up and down few hours for me tonight...), I've been working on my mixed CD.
Here is what I've come up with so far...

1. Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear
2. Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner
3. Secrets by One Republic
4. Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean
5. If It's Love by Train
6. A little Bit Stronger by Sara Evans
7. Dog Days are Over by Florence and The Machines
8. Honey Bee by Blake Shelton
9. Doin' That by Clyde Carson
10. The Lazy Song by Bruno ( per Ian's request, it's his favorite)
11. Rolling in the Deep by Adele
12. Good Life by One Republic
13. Days Like These By Jason Aldean
14. Half of My Heart by John Mayer
15. White Flag by Dido
16. Are you Gunna Kiss Me or What by Thompson Square
17. Run Run Run By Phoenix
18. Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
19. Whatever it Takes by Lifehouse

Well that was fun, and took way more time than it should have.  I put way to much thought into my Mixed Cd's.  Next on my "keeping it old school" to-do list is to get some pictures printed.

Well 4th of July weekend is finally approaching.  I am not a personal fan of the holiday.  It usually hot as heck out, and fireworks tend to be a waste of money in my opinion.  However, I do enjoy watching them, and I do enjoy food.  We have a busy busy weekend.  Two family parties, a friend party, and a little lake get-away.  I'll be trying to enjoy every second of it as Ian returns to work this week after completing his 8 weeks off.  That went by really fast.

Well it's 4 a.m.--and blogging while half asleep is somewhat dangerous. Haley sounds like she has been out for a solid 5 minutes, so I think it's safe to return to my bed.

I hope everyone has a safe and fantastic holiday weekend.

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...

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...

Bucket List

It's the final countdown.... Enter Europe: I hope that got your blood pumping, because I danced around my bedroom to this video. We are talking 9 weeks people.  Give or take what baby decides.  But we are on the final countdown.  The home stretch.  The grand finale. And I am ready to EMBRACE and not rush these last few weeks.  Whiny pregnant women are annoying.  And I have had a rough go at it.  I've been all....."waaaaaa progesterone", "waaaaa placenta previa", "waaaaa stress/anxiety".  And it is about time that I embrace my lovely lady bumps and breath.  Because this thing is happening.  And everything, will likely be just fine.  No more placenta issues.  I am on track for a typical, end of pregnancy.  Baby looks good. So.  In my journey in deciding to embrace these final weeks, I have created myself a "bucket list/ to do list" Before Baby:  Around the House Clean and organize storage Cle...
