Lazy

Oh glorious lazy Sunday.  Usually I do my heavy cleaning on Sundays, but I got most of everything accomplished yesterday, so today--I'm going to be lazy.  

Part of my productiveness yesterday went to reorganizing closets and such.  You must know, I am a clean freak.  However, I am lazy about a few things; folding laundry and putting things away nicely.  Out of sight, out of mind.  I have a bad habit of just shoving things in the general area where they need to go or just shoving things nearby because I am too lazy to put it where it belongs.  Example, Haley's clothes.  In the beginning, I took the time to fold her stuff and put it away nicely, but quickly I found her stuff comes unfolded so easily.  So then I would just shove her things in her dresser and that was it.  Well, it was finally driving me crazy and I came up with an idea.  Instead of folding and stacking, I am now rolling her clothes like so...
Now I can easily find whatever pair of pants and whatever onesie easily without having to dig through stuff and worry about it getting all unfolded!  Brilliant if I may say so myself.

I also tackled the "catch-all" closet.  Now all the towels are folded nicely and everything has a spot to which it belongs.  Yay for organization!

Overall, it has been a pretty laid back weekend.  Friday night was lovely.  Like I mentioned, Haley went to her grandparents and we had a dinner party with friends.  The food was awesome and the company was great.  Can't ask for much more. ( I was, however, disappointed to find that Holy Field closes at 6 because we had planned to pick up a bottle of wine there...boo)

I can't believe Christmas is two weeks from today already.  Didn't we just celebrate Christmas?  Last year, around this time, we found out that Haley was a girl.  I think it was actually the 16th which is ironic because her 7 month birthday is the 16th!  I have most of my Christmas shopping done except I have no idea what to get Ian.  Usually, he just buys whatever he wants and we just say it is from me, but this year I told him I wanted to actually get him something from me that wasn't his idea.  Which is great, except I truly have no idea what to get him.

Well that is about all I have in me today.  I think it is nap time for both the Abbott girls...

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...
