A Completely Pointless Post

I feel as if blogging at this point could be a really bad idea.  This can go in two directions.  1.) My grouchy mood will continue to flow through my blog...or 2.) I can find positive and happy things to blog about thus resulting in a great mood.

You see, my poor husband received a laundry list of things, via text, of reasons I was frustrated/irritated/ etc. etc. at him and at the world.  All of which were, irrational, and out of portion.  I knew that going into to my texting rant.  I am pretty sure I even yelled at him (through text, mind you once) for telling me that he wanted me to do whatever made me happy.  How can you be mad at someone who wants you to do what makes them happy?  Sooo.. publicity, I would like to say oops.

Anyways.  So I am thinking positive at this point....

Remember that workout DVD I bought, still in the package.  And without basketball on Mondays, I have been really really lazy.  I am so ready for basketball to start back up...returning champions.  And I really need to start my workout dvd.  Maybe that will get me out of my mild funk.  I made Ian climb through our packed storage unit to find my hand weights, so I better get started on that.  You should see how that man can climb, even with a totally torn ACL and whatever else was torn too.

Not updating my blog on a regular basis has thrown me off, I don't even know where to go with this.

Last weekend, our dog disappeared off our back porch.  I was devastation thinking he was long gone.  We searched everywhere for him.  I felt horrible, because we had just lost him a few months ago too.  That night, we had pretty much determined he was gone and even started thinking about a replacement for him.  The next morning, we heard a dog barking on our back porch?  I guess someone returned him.  We will never know what happened, but it was very strange.

The charm of apartment living is starting to dwindle.  I need some extra space.  The walk to the cars is cold. The windows are drafty.  The heat is expensive.  The cabinets don't have handles which drives me nuts.  I'm tired of my poor dog having to be inside all the time.  I'm tired of hearing the people above us....

Oh, so Pinterest has been taking up my blogging time recently.  It was a slow growing addiction.  At first, I was like hmm okay, what in the world do I do with this?  If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can just stop reading, because I can't even begin to explain what Pinterest is, you just have to experience it.  I have gotten so many awesome decor ideas.  If only money was endless.  But there is also so many cooking ideas and just other interesting things to waste time looking at.  I am even thinking of getting myself a used sewing machine to try my hand at some DIY craft ideas.  Actually, I made a bet with Ian that if I won he had to buy me one (like we don't share accounts anyway....).  And I won the bet, but he will tell you different because he is a big cheater.  I told him that if I won, it was like destiny was saying "yes", that I needed a sewing machine.

So this bet.  We were running errands and had two options for routes home.  The first one being I70 and the second being Kansas Avenue to K32.  I recommended K32 because we would have to do less backtracking but he said the stoplights would take forever.  He bet me we would hit at least 4 stoplights.  We hit three and on the last stoplight, he slows done to like 30 and waits for it to turn red.  Thus...cheating.  Because if he had been going the speed limit we would have made the green light.

Ya well, since I am at work (the tanning salon)  I should probably wrap this up and be productive looking before my boss arrives.  Even though, I am pretty sure he watches me on the cameras.  Way to make a girl paranoid.

I'm pretty sure that post was not very positive, but I am in a better mood.

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 ...
