Not So Terrible Tuesday

Hola! Que Pasa?

As you all know, I am not a fan of Tuesdays.  Well today was a much better Tuesday than usual.  This afternoon, Ian and I had a meeting and we were going to run some other errands but I opted for us to head home instead.  This turned out to be a good choice as I ended up enjoying about an hour nap.  Naps are always good.  Especially when I started my day somewhat cranky.  But I woke up refreshed and ready to take on the rest of my day. Thank you Ian for letting me nap.  

The evening was a little crazy.  I got my buddy off the bus and hung out wfith him for awhile.  I had an engagement after that, that I needed to rush to but needed to run home first to walk the dog, pick up my banana bread, and check the mail.  Since moving to the apartment, we have forwarded our mail but yet we have not gotten any mail.  Which pretty much sucks because pay checks come via mail.  No mail = no pay checks.  Kinda frustrating.  I am pretty positive I can track down mail sent to the wrong place better than the mail people.  So I checked the mail and it was a success.  Not for reasons you would think though.  Finally some mail.  However it wasn't forwarded mail, it was mail written to the new address.  One of which happened to be a birthday card from my Grandma (Thank you Grandma Beebe!).  That was a pleasant surprise.   Yay for surprises! Muchas Gracias. I'm happy to know that my mail isn't getting stolen by some homeless guy or something.  But I would like some of our forwarded mail to come soon before I have to start tracking that stuff down too.  

The cooking group was a lot of fun.  I didn't have a sitter this evening so Haley tagged along.  There ended up being two other babies there so that was awesome.  It ended up being Cooking group--mommy and me style.  Very cool.  Haley was well behaved.  AND I didn't even get lost driving there.  I think living in Johnson County has done me some good as far as directional sense goes. 

Anyways, so today has been a total success all around.  I don't think my last blog did my big birthday bottle of wine justice.  So here is another picture.  I mean, this thing is huge...and very tasty I might add.

I feel as if I need to leave you all with something somewhat educational.  Today I learned about the dirtiest surfaces in public.  Here are a few that made the dirty half-dozen.
  1. Gas pump handles
  2. Handles on public mail boxes
  3. Escalator rails
  4. ATM buttons
  5. Parking Meters
  6. Crosswalk buttons
Just to name a few.  Thanks Yahoo for that enriching information.  So, yo.  Wash your hands you filthy filthy people.  

Have a fabulous night.  Tomorrow....Happy Birthday Eve to me.  


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...
