Nothing in Particular...

Inspired from the news this morning, three words about my week: Exhausted, blessed, phenomenal

Good morning world and happy Thursday. Updating my blog via cell phone...so please pardon any huge typos as texting a blog is not the easiest.

I think I got a total of two hours of sleep last night. Between my strange dreams and baby bump...I was tossing and turning. When I first started having the hormones induced dreams, I thought they were pretty cool and mildly entertaining. Now they are simply wierd and unwelcomed. They feel so real yet so random and irrelevant.

Moving along, today is my final day of baby sitting ( unless you want to count subbing a freshman English class tomorrow..) as usual it was a good time with lots of laughs. It has been a fun filled week, but also a week of constant reminders that my baby is not a baby for very long. I know this seems like a given- but the reality of this whole baby thing is starting to set it. Like for example, when I go to the hospital, I'll be returning with a new life. I can feel the adventure coming, but I just want to remind myself to enjoy it while it lasts because they grow up so fast. I'm eager to see how this blessing changes forever changes our lives.

Perfect...the kiddo I'm watching is snoring in the chair now. I'm pretty sure it was his idea to turn on cartoons at 2 a.m....and to get up for breakfast at 5:00 a.m. Now I'm up with no hopes of a nap anytime soon. What can you do? : ) I guess its good prep for the months to come.

Unfortunately I don't think I will be making it to the gym today. I got a kick out of the ladies at the pool yesterday. Topic of diacussion: KU basketball! I suppose the 60 plus years of their lives have brought much wisdom on which NCAA team to put their loyality in. Not only are they fans, but they know some serious stats from the games. I was very impressed. The discussion turned to the K state game....and we all agreed that we are the team to beat this year and there is a certain amount of pride we should take away in that. I mean....K-State acted as if they had just won the championship!

Well nothing too exciting to share with you all today. Our next appointment is March 1st. We are about three months out from the big day. I have a feeling the next three months are going to fly by as long as the weather continues to improve.

I hope everyone has a phenomenal Thursday and a wonderful weekend. Until next time....

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 ...
