Productivity

4 hours later..............

*Cleaned out the linen closet to make room for Haley's cloth diapers (which we ordered online today)
*Organized Haley's clothes so that all of the 0-3/3-6 months cloths that we have thus far are washed in Dreft  and now easily accessible in her drawers.
*Washed Haley's bedding
*Re-organized the kitchen cabinets to have an empty cabinet for all of Haley's stuff.
*Changed our sheets. (Grand total of 4 loads of laundry today with Haley's stuff and our dirty clothes...)
*Cleaned, scrubbed, mopped all of the bathrooms.
*Dusted the entire house.
*Vacuumed the entire house.
*Scrubbed, dusted, mopped the kitchen.
*Put away dishes and cleaned out the refrigerator

The sad thing is...I don't think I can even blame it on nesting....I am just slightly neurotic when it comes to cleaning.  But most of all, I'm impressed with how much I got done in only 4 hours.  (Well I am not completely done, still waiting on some laundry to get dry).

Ian and I had a really good weekend.  Friday night we spent the evening with our bible study group.  They very kindly held a couples shower for us and we really enjoyed that! Saturday was pretty mellow.  We had a breakfast date, went and visited my parents, and then went home which resulted in about a 5 hour nap on my part.

Overall, that is our weekend in a nutshell.  This week is also pretty low-key which is nice.  Our next appointment isn't until April, then we officially start going every week.  As soon as the snow melts and the temperature goes back up, we plan on working on the lawn and hopefully cleaning out our garage!  Okay, by "we" I really mean Ian; since the last time I tried to help in the garage and the shelves collapsed on me, I am not really allowed to help outside until baby Haley takes residency outside of my body.

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 ...
