I'm Bre....Hear Me Whine

I've been up since well before 8.  Not because my husbands up or because I am working today, but because I feel awful.  First off,, remember how I mentioned I was feeling a little sick yesterday...well now I feel worse.  I feel like I swallowed razer blades and every time I take a deep breath they stab my lungs--and if I cough....OUCH!  My bet is, the more I get up and around, go for a walk, and get some fluids, this whole "sickness" or whatever will be a lot more bearable.  It's probably not even a sickness, change of weather perhaps.  When mother nature decides to be bipolar it tends to send my respiratory system way out of whack.

On top of not feeling well, I was tossing and turning last night.  Between my bladder being used as a punching bag and just general insomnia...no sleepy time for me.  I know, I know...if I think it's bad now--wait until she gets here.  But can't I catch some extra sleep now in lieu of the sleep I'm going to miss out on later?  The only thing keeping me from having a major melt down in the middle of the night was the fact that every time I found myself wide awake, I could feel her little kicks.  I don't think she has ever been so active overnight before.  Probably a bad sign for later, but while I was awake, it gave me something to enjoy and think about.  So while I am pouting and cranky and crabby, the kicks put everything into perspective and I have to praise God for the opportunity I have.

Overall, I am just hoping I am on the downhill of this thing.  For some reason I decided to work three days in a row this week (starting tomorrow).  Which would be fine, but I am not really conditioned  to be up on my feet teaching like that, plus not feeling well.   I know it may not seem like it, but even when your not pregnant and not sick, teaching can be mentally and physically exhausting.  I've kept busy around the house and such, but let's face it, I've had a very relax and easy second trimester of hanging out at home.  I have a feeling that no matter what; I WILL be getting some good sleep this weekend!

Alright alright, I'm done complaining.  I figured I would get it ALL out of my system now so I can be pleasant to everyone I come in contact with today.  I think I'll be starting my day with a nice walk on the treadmill, play some fetch with my dog Winston, followed by a warm shower, and then a few bottles of water. (Better than any medication you can take).

Well I hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday.  Besides not feeling well, I can't complain too much.  KU had another successful win last night.  It was a very solid performance, even without our point guard who did something naughty leading him to be suspended for whatever reason.  It would be great if we can keep all our players out of trouble and not injured, but I would also say it's a good sign when we are continually down decent players and still pulling out win after win.  The more I watch though, the bigger of a fan of the Morris brothers I become.  I think they are both very solid players and we will continue to see great things from them.  Then on the chick flick side of things:  another interesting Pretty Little Liars last night.  Disappointed that they never solved the 214 mystery, but that's pretty typical for the show.  I am not sure they have ever made any progress in figuring out who "A" is or who killed Allison.  I suppose we will just have to keep watching and see what happens.  Didn't get an opportunity to watch House last night, probably go ahead and add that to my tough to-do list for today.

Until next time....have a great day and thanks for 'listening' to me whine.

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 ...
