Weekend

I'm trying to decide if I have time to sneak in a post, so here goes nothing.

Ian had his first weekend off for his new schedule (YAY).  It was awesome but went by way to fast.  He actually took a few extra days off so he had Thursday thru Sunday off.

Thursday, Ian enjoyed a guy day.  He went to Perry with a buddy to ride ATV's then went out with the guys from work.  I was glad he was able to blow off some steam.  Friday night was my turn to blow of steam.

I've been dying to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, so I made plans with a girl friend to go see it.  One thing after another occurred and we ended up not being able to see the movie.  So instead we went and ate this:


I had never eaten sushi before and now I know why.  Seriously, I gave it a shot and I am not sure how people do it.  I am not a picky eater.  But I now draw the line here.  No raw fish ever again, thanks.  I was polite and ate it while trying not to breathe.  It was for sure the worst $50 bucks I had ever spent (minus the great company and wonderful mojito).  

I have still not seen my movie.  I guess I'll wait for it to come out on RedBox.

The weekend was pretty low key.  Had a quality two days with my hubby. I am definitely going to enjoy his new schedule!

Ian standing where our front door is going to be.
After checking the schedule, our house is suppose to be finished in three months.  I don't know a lot about the house building process, but I do know they have a LONG way to go.  They have the foundation finished and framing is suppose to start this week (which usually means another two weeks ).  

Anyways, so that is everything weekend related for us.  Which brings us to today--Monday.  And for the first time in over a year, Monday actually feels like a Monday.  I am now helping my buddy off the bus 5 days a week as well, so it is like we both have a 'normal' work week.  Tonight, I have decided it is back to my workout DVD's .  I have an extra 15-20 lbs that have got to go.  I really want to get rid of the weight before a second kiddo comes along, because I know if I don't loose it now, I never will.  Tomorrow, I am really looking forward to catching up with another girlfriend of mine.  She has an adorable daughter herself and I love watching our kiddos play together.  That is about as far as I have thought ahead this week.  So that is all that I have for ya.

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...
