Good morning to all and happy Tuesday.  

I am generally not okay with Tuesdays, but this morning, for whatever reason--I woke up in a fantastic mood!  Haley was a good sleeper as usual.  I got some decent sleep.  And when your a new parent--that is everything.  I never thought I would see the day that I would be up by 6 a.m. and call that good sleep.  

I am not sure what today will bring.  I am in serious need of a Wal-Mart run but sadly it is so darn hot I find it hard to motivate myself to get out.  I don't think the heat has ever detoured me before--but it is dang hot out there.  On the flip side, the kid needs diapers--so I think that trumps all feelings about the heat.  Wal-Mart it is.   I still haven't printed my pictures either so I will work on that later this afternoon so I can get those printed when I go.  

Anyways, Haley and I made our rounds yesterday.  First to her great-grandparents.  We had a lovely little visit where she got to show off her smiling skills since she slept through her last visit.  Then we went to her grandparents so this Momma could enjoy some of that wonderful home cookin'.

I also got some fantastic news yesterday.  I got myself a bit of a job!  There is a tanning salon that will be opening very soon close to the Legends called Premier Tan.  I will be creating and maintaining the website.  I'll also be popping in once a week to work.  It is pretty much perfect for me right now because I can work from home, yet get a small mom break once a week while Haley is with her dad.  

Well, that is all that I have for everyone today.  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 ...
