I Gave My Kid a Terrible Present...

Well today is bring your daughter to work day, take 2.  Good thing I have a cool boss!  Today, Ian is off to fix my cracked windshield.  I am pretty sure some homeless guy in Colorado threw a rock at it or something.  Sorry I don't ever carry cash bro.  I'm not above giving someone a few bucks who might need something to eat or something.  But I am pretty sure he didn't take debt.  It could have just been the altitude.  Who knows.  But I am glad it is getting fixed today.

Christmas break starts next week for most schools.  This matters to me because I will either be working a lot or not at all, depending on if my little buddy's parents decide to take vacation or not.  I'm cool either way.  I think Haley enjoy visiting with my little buddy because she gets tones of attention and someone new to play with her.  But I won't mind sitting at the apartment, doing a lot of nothing.

Oh!  So ya.  Pictures were a big fat flop yesterday.  Well, kinda.  I scheduled them for right after her nap time and mealtime.  Thinking that I would have a happy baby on my hands.  Well yesterday she opted out of nap time despite my best efforts.  She wasn't fussy for the pictures, she just refused to smile. So I was left acting like a crazy woman trying to get a smirk out of her.  Not a single smile.  So we went with a serious and studious picture instead of a cute smiling one.

Well that is about all for updates.  We have a pretty busy next few weeks.  Birthday party for my nephew.  Go pick up a rug I want from good ol' CL.  Church of course on Sunday.  Speaking of church, my Dad is my hero.  He has started playing the guitar during the afternoon service.  I just think that is so cool and so admirable; using his talent to glorify God is a beautiful thing.  Should be a good weekend filled with some good family time.  I've also got to clean the apartment.  Wahoo.

Lastly, I watched this video and wanted to share it.  Yes very funny, but I really hope my kidlet turns out better than these kids!  What a good way to test your kid's character.




And it looks like I won't be getting my windshield fixed until Monday...grumble grumble.

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...
