I'm way late on this....but thanks to Lifetime television (you know, daytime TV); I have fallen in love with How I Met Your Mother.  It is clearly the new Friends.  Man on man that show was great.  They just don't make shows like they did in the 90's.  Fresh Prince, Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Friends....Regrettably, all good shows must come to an end.  Luckily, How I Met Your Mother has been added to my DVR, and now I have a well balanced TV watching schedule.  

24 hours from now, we will know Ian's next schedule.  I am starting to get anxious.  No big surprise there.  This past year, I have gotten a bit spoiled.  I could go see him at work whenever.  Eat dinner with him, whenever.  His days off were perfect.  I actually like him working afternoons while I am a SAHM.  That last year has been...blissful (and I don't even mean that sarcastically).  However, I've been informed that he will not be going for the same position.  I totally understand his reasons, but it is just going to be a big adjustment.  I'm hoping he will at least get some great days off.  Ideally, he would get Friday/Saturday off so we can go to the lake one the weekends over the summer.  But a lot has changed at his work so now we just wait and see.  

Today, I am exhausted.  So I am going to keep this short.   I took this picture of Haley last night....I've been terrible about taking picture recently.  She is smiley all day long, until I get the camera out, then she gets all distracted.  But I'll work on it.  We need to get some 1st Christmas pictures taken soon!

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 ...
