Just Another Day

First off, I updated my music on my blog (finally).  It is difficult to do at home because our internet is SLLOOWW--here at the salon, super fast.  I was in a John Mayer kinda mood, and thanks to Pandora--I had a lot of help with new songs.  If your into that kinda thing, enjoy.  If not, leave.  Actually just kidding, just mute it (it's at the bottom of the page for those of you who don't know).

I am not sure I even have much to blog about really.  I'm sure the details of my life lately are pretty boring to most.

For example, yesterday:

Woke up.  Super tired.  Feed Haley.  Bath Haley.  Watched Sesame Street.  Nap time (for Haley).  Throw laundry in.  Lunch.  Haley wake up.  Feed Haley.  Clean up lunch.  Play with Haley. Nap time again.  Walk dog.  Clean apartment.  Move  laundry.  Enjoy 30 minutes of downtime.  Haley wakes up.  Play with Haley.  Feed Haley dinner.  Figure out why Haley is fussy.  No luck.  Make a chicken pot-pie while Haley fusses at me.  Clean kitchen again after making a huge mess.  Play with Haley.  Bedtime routine with Haley.  Walk dog. Put Haley down for the night.  Feed myself.  Fold more laundry.  Bed.    

Literally, that was my day.  And to be honest.  It was an amazing day.  I cherish the moments I get to spend with Haley.  I had the day off because my little buddy went to a basketball game instead of hanging out with me.  When people ask me if I get bored of being a SAHM, I have to LAUGH.  It is go-go-go-go all day.  And when you have a kid, you have the greatest joys over silly things.  For example, Haley ate a banana yesterday.  Not like baby bananas.  Like a real banana.  I thought that was the coolest thing.  She ate that thing like a champ. She is growing up so fast though.  It is crazy.

Oh, so I have joined the world of "Words with Friends".  Wow that is addicting.  It is basically, scrabble on your phone that you can play at your own pace with whoever.  So far, I have only played against Ian and a bunch of other random opponents.  I got super irritated yesterday because I had a decent lead on Ian all day, then on his last play-he pulled ahead and beat me.  It is great, because lets face it, after being together for awhile--you don't really text all day like cute little teenagers.  It is a fun way to interact all day without actually talking (haha).  I don't have it linked to my  Facebook or Twitter or anything so I have been playing against random people as well.  That is always interesting.  I feel like you can get some insight on the people you are playing against by the words they use.  For example, one person was playing words like "die, fart, blood, etc. etc."  I ended that game promptly.  Anyways, so that has been some entertainment for me recently.

Well kids, I think that is all that I have for you today.  Sorry I have been really sucking at this whole blog thing recently.  I've been super busy and super boring all at the same time.  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

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 ...
