An End in Sight?

It's interesting how things work out...

So for the last three weeks or so, Ian and I have either SHARED the twin size bed, or shared the sectional in the basement.  Meanwhile, our master bedroom and bathroom has been under construction.  Well, with some hard work, I was able to finish the bedroom so we could move back into our bedroom.

I looked forward to sleeping in our queen size bed...however, I had my WORST night of sleep last night.  Really?  I mean, common, we shared a twin size bed and I got better sleep then!  I watched nearly every hour pass by last night as I tossed and turned.  I am thinking it might be time that I join the bandwagon and get myself a snoogle.

Anyways, I am fairly proud of my accomplishments in painting so my thought was that I would share some pictures....

This is before:  I actually really loved the red when we first painted it, but after two years--I needed a change..something brighter and cheery!




Here is the bedroom in the new color.  I was going for a gray color "silver charm"; however, it ended up turning out way more blue then I had hoped. Overall, I am happy with the turn out.  It is much brighter, and makes the room look way bigger.


 Here are some pictures of the master bathroom, which is still in progress.....wahoo.
New vanity...


Ian....hard at work, trying to figure out how to be a plumber. 


Well, as I look outside I am noticing that the snow is melting which leads me to believe that it is actually above freezing outside, so I think I will go be a good wife and clean out my husband's truck while he works on the bathroom some more...Until next time, I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and gets a chance to enjoy the warmer weather outside.

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...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

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 ...
