Weekend

You know what I am thinking about doing? Of course not, because I haven't told you yet.

I am thinking about starting a different blog, separate to this blog. I am FIRED up. Let me tell you. I am making goals, and I am reaching them and it feels super great. But this blog was never intended to be my diet and exercise diary. This is SUPPOSE to be FAMILY LIVING. And lately, I have just been blah blah blahhing about myself, neglecting all the cool and embarrassing things that are happening in my person/ family life that I would like to share and record for future reference. So stay tuned...soon I will be creating another blog. So if you are interested in what I am doing on a personal level with my fitness, read that blog (which has yet to be created). You want to here about how my kidlet and family stuff. Read this one. You wanna know about both? Read both. You don't want to know about either? Then cool, don't be my friend. I probably don't like you much either anyway.

So there is that.

And here we are. This past weekend, Haley and I skipped town and went to the lake with my parents for the weekend. Saturday, Ian joined us for the day.

All and all, it was a great weekend. Ate some delicious food. Hung out with my parents. Haley pretty much behaved herself.

She is at this great stage where she is STARTING to get it. She still likes to get into EVERYTHING but not as bad as when she first became mobile. I'm really starting to like this age and am trying to soak it all in before she is a sassy two year old.  Just a few pictures from the weekend:













After we got home on Sunday, we went to celebrate my brother's 27th birthday!  We went and ate at one of my personal favorite restaurants, Mongolian BBQ.  Haley kept her melt downs to a minimum and we were able to make it through most of the evening without incident.  She has really been into coloring, so we brought her some crayons and paper and that kept her busy for the most part.  

After that, we went home and I baked some homemade cookies.  They are amazing, and I regret ever baking them.  Haley went to bed and Ian and myself enjoyed some adult time out on the back patio.  It was a beautiful evening and it was so great to catch up after having a long week and weekend with minimal time to just sit down and chat.

Which brings us to today.  I am procrastinating cleaning the house, so it is time for me to wrap this up and get busy!

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...
