Baby Steps

I've been up since 6, and my kidlet is still sleeping.  So my question is, why in the heck am I awake right now?  I should be sleeping.  Oh ya, because my head is spinning.

Today is apartment shopping.  I keep reminding myself that being up early is not getting anything extra done.  Nobody opens until 8 or 9.  I would really like to get everything squared away today because with the weekend approaching, I am not sure how much will get accomplished.  I would rather enjoy the weekend than spend it fretting over things that are out of my control.

Which reminds me of something I was once told by a very insightful person.  Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do for awhile, but it doesn't get you anywhere.  (Something to that effect)

Oh ya, and now the closing date can be anytime as early as the 17th.  Which means boxes packed, and moved by the 17th.  Packing won't be a big deal because, well, lets face it, I don't work.  Ian just so happens to have off two weeks in October because we were suppose to go on vacation, so he can take care of whatever he needs to take care of during that time (the heavy sweating part of moving, because Haley and I are worthless when it comes to that).

Besides the stress of so many uncertainties at the moment, I am completely and utterly excited.....for....get this......to live in a tiny apartment.  I've never lived in an apartment before.  To think, only 700sq ft of cleaning.  No stairs to stress about with Haley.  Finding places that are pet friendly has proved to be a little difficult   I feel bad for Winston because he is so accustom to having a big back yard to run around in.  Anyways....

So basically I am taking this all one baby step at a time.   Hopefully by the end of today, I can sit back and relax knowing the details are all worked out.

Here is to the next 12 hours being stressful, hectic, and hopefully productive.

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...
