Welcome to My Home....

So, I've been nagged enough that I finally took pictures of our new home to share.  I LOVE taking pictures.  But I am not a fan of taking pictures of rooms/ house.  I am terrible at that.  I can't ever seem to get the lighting nor the angle right, so I generally get frustrated and stop.  So sorry some of the pictures are kinda crummy but I did my best.


It is like a game of where's Haley.  She found her way in most of my pictures.  
Entry table which Ian found of Craigslist.  And most of the decor items are from garage sales.  I am not happy with the how the items are coordinated.  I might redo some of the items later..but for now it works.  
Haley's room, which you all have seen before


Guest bedroom.  The bedspread was $13 on sale at Target.  Bed was my bed that I had growing up at my parents.  Night stands were from an antique store (and they were super cheap too!)  This bedroom is not really finished.  I have curtains to make for the double windows and need to hand some stuff on the walls so this is all you get of this room for now.  

I love this chair. 
Guest bathroom

I need to find something to decorate the empty spaces up there.  Or I might leave it.  Who knows.

Dinning area

Master bathroom
Haley likes turning on and off the water, and I just noticed the toilet paper is on the holder the wrong way which drive me crazy
Shower
Family room, picture really doesn't do it justice


The conversational sofa I sent Ian to St.Louis (Craigslist) to pick up.  It has really grown on me, and it looks so much better with the pillows.   Oh ya, we got the coffee table and end table from Craigslist too.  OH AND the area rug.  I could probably just list what we DIDN'T get off Craigslist.
I am big fan of the carpet
Ian's man cave, dressed up with a woman's touch. 
I got the rug off of Craiglist
Yup and I got the bar stools off Craigslist too

Another bedroom, which I am going to use as my craft room for now.  
Downstairs bathroom--this one was thrown together, but I really like the green!

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...
