Assume The Position

We had our regular check-up today.  We got a sneak peak at the babe via ultrasound and confirmed that he is now head down.  I could have guess that, as he has been moving around like a mad man recently--so I figured he was moving from the transverse to the optimal head down.  Everything looked good.  He even had a full bladder--which is...interesting to think about.  We still have about a month and a half or so to go--so I am starting to get that,so close yet so far away feeling. 

I've been able to get a fair amount of 'exercise' in.  I end up walking or something for about 45 minutes, on average 5 days a week.  The change in the weather has been nice.  I much prefer taking walks outdoors.  Last night I took a cycle class, which is fine.  I gave up on push-ups for now, just because I am already uncomfortable, I don't want to risk injuring my back or something.  So mostly, just trying to stay moving for my sanity.  

I still have a bit on my to-do list which is nice.  I like staying busy.  My plan is to get the house squared away in the next few weeks and then spend the last few weeks getting myself squared away with grooming and pampering type things.  Mostly, I am just thankful for some fall weather, though.  The waiting game is much more tolerable when it is nice and not a billion degrees out,

Not a whole lot more to write home about.  So I will leave you all with that for now.

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...
