Social Media

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but my posts seem to generate a lot of contention and abrasive comments. Especially from people I don't expect!

Honestly the things I post are not controversial! One time I asked where to buy "Fifty Shades of Grey." Another time I posted that my husband and I were looking into becoming 'puppy parents' and excited about it. Maybe people don't like that I never post a depressing status and feel like my facebook needs more negativity. Beware, if I don't like what you posted, I WILL delete it.

That being said I've decided not to post much anymore. Like I just decided this week. So for a few days now I have not produced any statuses or check-in's. I don't want people to judge where I've been or what I'm doing. I'm officially "offline" at all times. I have had a friend who always deleted everything on her wall and now I understand why!

Well that's what I have to say for today, now time to calm down and find something productive to do!

Whom Shall I Fear?

I have been learning a lot about myself over the last 6 months through the sermons at church, it's amazing what is revealed when you are genuinely challenged! Some things I knew, like I worry too much. Other things I had no idea, that I fear man more than God. "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell." Matthew 10:28 As Pastor Chad said, "Jesus is NOT your homeboy." Over the last week I've found myself wondering what others would think of something I had to share and how it would be received. It made me very aware of how much I care what others think. In our world we are taught to be politically correct, don't offend anyone. But Jesus was very offensive, we are supposed to be like Jesus. Standing up for what is right regardless of what people think. If we could all do that it would be a different world.

The Hard Part

Genevieve Taylor Labor finally started on Thursday 9/22 after a few false alarms over the previous weeks where I had regular yet inconsistent contractions for hours. I went to bed feeling them but had experienced that so many times before I didn’t think it was real, by 3am I couldn’t sleep through them anymore so I grabbed my phone to time them and see if there was any pattern, They were 3-5 minutes apart and a minute long but the intensity of them was still fairly mild. I got up and moved around, drank some water, ate some eggs and the contractions changed but didn’t stop. I decided to give my midwives a heads up as I was also experiencing some bleeding. Because of the bleeding they decided to come over and check things out around 6am. It was so exciting, it seemed the baby was finally coming! As I watched them set up all the supplies in my room, Tim calling into work to let them know he wouldn’t be in and contractions growing stronger it seemed my baby would be there within the day! ...

Feeling sentimental and Making a Mess!

What have I been up to? See the title of this post.. Last week was Asher's last few days of Kindergarten. I finally understand why all the moms feel all the feels those last few days their babies are in school. Not only was my baby becoming a FIRST GRADER (I'm way too young to have a first grader, for serious) but they were his last days in public school. We're HOMESCHOOLING for first grade and beyond! I am excited and nervous to start on this journey, we enjoyed our public school experience for the most part and I know homeschooling is going to be a lot on me but it's what's right for us :) About the mess making part, I've gotten back into my quilting projects and LOVING it. It turns out I'm not the only one, I have a few orders from friends for their own "Made with Love" quilts! I get excited all over again each time I purchase new fabric.. So I buy a little at a time to keep myself going ;) Finding complimentary fabric for some I already have g...
