A Stupid Post About The Stupid Day I've Had Due To My Own Stupid Actions

After calling Lenexa PD, the apartment manager, and turning the apartment upside down--still no wallet.  So it was time to face the music and get a new ID.

Attempt one:  We needed tags and a new ID so we went to a DMV online that said they did both.  Got there and they only do tags now.  No biggie, because we needed tags anyway.  Quick, easy, and a few hundred dollars later, we headed to a different DMV.

Attempt two: Birth certificate, Social Security card & paper work,  & marriage lisc (in Spanish of course).  Ready to roll and get a new ID.  I stood in line for what felt like forever, to find out that I forgot to bring proof of residency.  Yay.

Drive home and grab my Redbook magazine.  Probably one of two things that come in the mail in my name.

Attempt three:  I have everything I need and get right in.  Perfect.  Meanwhile, a gentleman is yelling at another employee because the employee was racist for putting that he had "brown" eyes, when he actually had "blue" eyes.  I am not sure what eye color has to due with race, but it was sure interesting.  Take a terrible picture, get my slip and leave.

Half way to the Lenexa Police department to make a police report on my wallet, I realize my address on my ID is not correct as it didn't have my apartment number.  I call the DMV and sure enough, I have to go all the way back to Mission and get a whole new ID.

Attempt four:  Another bad picture later, and I have an ID slip that is all correct, except my weight.  I didn't even bother, because it is a vanity thing.  But I do weigh less then my ID says I do.  But I was surprised, no one ever asked me to take a vision test (which I was thankful for because I wouldn't have passed without my glasses) or any of the other questions I noticed them asking other people.  Oh well.

Anyways, today was stupid mostly due to my own stupidity.  I lost my wallet.  I didn't go to the right place.  I didn't have the correct paperwork.  And I didn't double check the slip before leaving the DMV.

I also had to go buy a new wallet.  It is ugly and I am sad I spent $10.98 on it.

I would love if the rest of my day wasn't so stupid.....

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...
