Wednesday...Happy Hump Day

It is so odd being on the same schedule as the rest of the world.  It is Wednesday, which means we are all half way through the week.  The latter part of the week always gets a little crazy for me, but I am ready for the weekend for sure.

Yesterday was crazy busy.  I stayed at my parents Monday night which was a nice change of pace.  Then I ended up working late last night with my little buddy.  Haley, my buddy, and I went to Pizza Shoppe in Shawnee for some pizza.  It was amazing and the kidlets did great there.  I ate way too much pizza, but it was pretty good.  The people in the booth behind us thought the kids were pretty awesome and kept complimenting Haley's chubby cheeks and how great my little buddy is with Haley.  As the night trucked on, we all three got pretty tired.  I think Haley was getting slap happy because she kept crawling over to my feet and laying across them and laughing.  At one point she bit my ankle and laughed.  I'm raising a monster.  I wish I could have gotten it on video but I was laughing too hard.

Probably the only bad thing about my day yesterday was that I still haven't got to see the end of Pretty Little Liars!  Monday nights episode was so good so far and I just need to see the last 15 minutes.  I, however, have to watch it online which is difficult with the crappy internet I am rocking at the apartment.  I need to make friends with someone in the apartment complex that has ABCFamily.  But that doesn't look likely as our neighbors hate us.  One guy wrote "bitch" in the dust on the side of Ian's truck.  Real mature.

Which leads me to today.  I felt beyond exhausted last night but woke up refreshed this morning.  For whatever reason, I woke up on the sofa.  Which wouldn't have been so bad, but the conversation sofa is more for conversationing and not sleeping.

Pretty straight forward day planned today.  Nothing crazy.  I am dropping a car seat at my cousin's later since she is expecting her first little one!  I can't wait!!

Other than that.  I should probably get some stuff done around here tonight.  More than likely, fold some laundry and catch up on old episodes of How I Met Your Mother.  One Tree Hill is on tonight.  That show is terrible compared to what it was 5 years ago, but I have invested too much time in the show to not see it through to the end.  Anyways, looking forward to some relaxing and hopefully no ankle biting from my kid.

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...
