Happy Bump Day

Another Wednesday....I'm offically beginning my 36th week of pregnancy!! Wahoo! Updating via phone so please excuse my typos....these are typically random so hopefully I don't boggle you...

Busy day.

It started with some lawn stuff early in the morning...watched Ian water the grass (well dirt with grass seed)....watched him work on my rock/ rose garden...I'm sure he appreciated all of my help... watching him work. He has been working so hard on the lawn that if grass doesn't grow I'm convinced he may catch our yard on fire. I'm currently working on convincing him that a pool in the back would cut down on a portion of the grass he would have to concern himself with but I'm not sure he is buying it...yet.

Went and visited my 5th graders for the first time since December. It was about time. I have to admit...I really missed their faces! It really took me back. It seems like so much has changed since student teaching. My body being one of those things as my students and coworkers were very amused with my rather large baby bump. I need to really decide on a graduate program, but I am sorta enjoying the whole being out of school business. I've thought about enrolling in some random classes...like Spanish or something....but I think I will adjust to mommy-hood before I commit myself to anymore college. I've also considered looking for some online teaching positions...who knows what I might do in the next few months...life is becoming less and less predictable and planned on my end--and frankly I don't mind. It seems as if life is always better when I follow His plan and not mine.

After seeing my students, I went to my moma for a few hours and visited with her before heading to hang out with my little buddy I occasionally watch. We got him a haircut, met Ian for dinner, then enjoyed some ice cream in the park. It was a busy but very enjoyable evening.

Tomorrow I'm actually working as I took a high school sub job...always makes for an interesting day. Then Ian and I will be attending our last of 5 child birthing classes! Must mean were getting close. Class is always a good time. We are also signed up for a breastfeeding class which is in a few weeks...I've heard really good things about it.

Ians also got another three day weekend this weekend! I always enjoy having him around that extra night. We have a couples shower/ bring your favorite six pack... we will he attending. I will be drinking root beer...caffine free of course.

We are also thinking about tackling some major cooking as I have been taught how to make 32 frozen healthy dinners. It takes many hours, but I'm thinking it will be worth it once Haley arrives. Plus I'm really digging on the healthy part. I know I will have some work to do once I don't have another human occupying my body. We are planning on making my YMCA membership a family membership so we can all go and get some exercise. Looking forward to some kickboxing and such. I have some major goals I would like to accomplish by hopefully October. We have a family vacation planned and I would like to enjoy the beach in a swim suit of some sort.

Well I could continue to ramble but ill go ahead and wrap this up instead. I hope everyone has a wonderful end of week and weekend.

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 ...
