Well, another successful weekend at the lake.  One without incident.  Speaking of, our co-pay for having a baby is the same for Ian to go to the emergency room for his knee.  Go figure.  I would like to thank my insurance for covering all of my epidural, I promise you, it was worth EVERY PENNY.

Haley refused to take a nap Saturday, which made things tricky but not bad.  She enjoyed sometime outside when it wasn't too hot.  I didn't get as much sun as I would have liked, but I am sure my skin thanks me.  Then she slept for 8 hours straight last night to make up for her lack of napping.  That is twice this week the girl has slept that long over night.  Not that I am complaining, I just don't want to get spoiled by such wonderfulness.

It just dawned on me that Ian will be returning to work in a week and a half.  I can't believe how fast his 8 weeks off went by.  I am going to miss having him around.  I also can't believe that Haley will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, and that a year ago is when we decided to start trying for a baby.  Time is a funny thing....

What else....  I actually applied for a job.  Well two jobs.  Both are through the same company.  I am trying not to get my hopes up as the positions are both open nationwide.  Either position would be perfect as I would be able to still stay at home while utilizing my Bachelors degree and specific set of talents and interests.  Like I said, not getting my hopes up. But waiting is the worst part...If I don't get the job, it's not a big deal...I just figured I would give it a shot and see what happens.

Well, there isn't much more that I can think of to bore you all with.  Looking forward to watching True Blood tonight.  Luckily we got HBO for free this weekend, so I don't even have to wait til tomorrow to watch it online in terrible quality (not to mention not having to wait for the video buffering!).

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 ...
