Um..Wow.

Well....

The sign went out in our yard....around 1 yesterday.  We had our first showing at 4 that day.  Had our first offer by noon the next day.  And now have an official contract for sell.  Our closing date is set for October 31st pending inspection and all that jazz.  All I can say is wow.  My head is spinning.

So much to figure out in so little time.  I think I am in shock and expecting the worse.  It truly feels too good to be true.  I won't really believe it until the ink drys on October 31st.  October *sigh* my birthday month....

What a great segue to my next topic...

You need to understand something about October.  It is my very most favorite month of the year.  It is my birthday month--I'll be 23 (feels more like 32) And my family is reminded, probably everyday in October, that it is my birthday month.  This year, it seems as if I will be having a packing party.  Who wants to drink beer and help me pack my stuff?  Luckily, everything is pretty organized, so packing shouldn't be bad.

Speaking of my birthday month, I only want one thing.  A fantastic fancy cupcake.  You know, like one of the cute trendy ones you see on TV.  That's all I want.  Just one.  I fear that if I had more than one, the fat girl inside of me would get the best of me. Speaking of, I am less than 10lbs from my pre-preggers weight!  I believe I have the right to celebrate this fact considering I gained close to 70lbs during pregnancy.  That's right seventy.  I still have many "fitness" goals I would like to reach, so I will only celebrate this as a mini-accomplishment.  Lesson learned, I can't eat everything insight if/when I get pregnant again.

I wonder what type of  dessert wine would go well with this cupcake?  Or a good cup of coffee, I've been on a coffee kick lately, my liver thanks me.


Well, I am not sure what tomorrow holds, but one things for sure, I have to be up early-ish for a 7 mile run, so being up half the night will do me zero favors.  

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...
