Rollin'

I read a book this weekend that was a God sent.  Talk about good timing.  It is titled Heaven is For Real.  I suggest, if you haven't read it yet; read it now.  And if you have already read it; read it again.  It is an easy read, and I did it in a day.  But I think I would like to re-read it again before returning the borrowed book to my mom.  I actually read it allowed to Haley, and she seemed to content just listing to me read.  While reading, I took a break to pray about something that was on my mind.  Literally, within 5 minutes, I received an undeniable answer to my prayer.  It was something simple, and small, but I think He knew I needed it. Soon after, as I continued to read, the author was quoting scripture:

Ask and you shall receive.


(Once again, with the timing....)


After I read that.  I literally laughed out loud and said, "No Joke."   


Anyways, read the book, it's good.

The other thing I wanted to share is that Haley is now rolling over on a regular basis!  Yay milestones.  She had rolled over one or two times within last couple months.  Only once did I actually witness this.  The other times she was on her tummy and when I returned to the room to her on her back.  Deductive reasoning led me to believe that she rolled over.  Finally today, I caught her rolling on video.  She was pretty frustrated, and the video is edited.  She spent a good 10 minutes on her belly trying to either convince me to roll her over for her or state her objections to tummy time.  Ian has still yet to see her roll in person, so I was glad to capture this for him as well....I am one proud momma.

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 ...
