There are portions of my life that I tend to omit from my blog.  Simply because I want to honor others' privacy.  Just because I don't mind broadcasting my life, doesn't mean others share the same enthusiasm.  So please forgive me, if sometimes I seem vague.  

Anyways, so I often mention working with my 'little buddy'.  A little about that.  Many of you know that I am a SAHM.  I suppose that is not entirely true as I work a part-time job.  It is two hours a day, 5 days a week.  I really don't consider it a job for many reasons.  One of which is that I take Haley with me.  

At this 'job', I am working with a young man who happens to have special needs.  Down Syndrome and Autism.  It is strange, after some time of working with him, I tend to forget that he even has special needs.  Through the years, I have adapted to his communication style and his needs.  Each day is hardly seamless--but I cherish the two hours we spend together and I love watching Haley and him interact and play.  Most days I believe that he is helping me more than I am helping him.  

In the two hours I spend with him, he brings me more laughs and smiles then most adults enjoy in an entire day.  For example, I had to giggle at this:
He loves to hide things and then ask my help to find whatever he has hidden.  It is very entertaining, and let me tell you--he is a good little hider.  As you can see above, the remote control found it's way into the microwave!  Thank goodness he didn't turn it on (I was standing in the kitchen when he did this, so I was making sure he didn't)  

I'm breaking my rule and sharing a little bit about this young man because he is such a huge part of my life.  He has taught me so much.  Working with him has been a once in a lifetime experience and I hope to have him in my life forever.  

Which brings me to this:

Today, on Facebook--the Dr.Laura fan page posted an article that I wanted to pass along.  I beg for you to take time--and be aware:

I'm hoping they will follow up on this case, as I want to know more about it.  If the accusations are true--we are already heading down a scary road.  And this, breaks my heart.

I have been following this story. It is SO sad that any parent would even be put through this. I can't even imagine and I pray the outcome is not what I fear it will be...

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...
