Thursday Thirteen-Thirteen things that prove how crazy I am

1. I like things clean and orderly
2. Organization both a blessing and a flaw in me
3. EVERYTHING has a place & should be put back there after use
4. Things have to be straight
5. I cannot leave dishes in the sink
6. I can't rest/relax...there is always something to do
7. I have to be challenged constantly or I'll get bored
8. Everything has to match
9. I will start one thing and think of a billion other things I have to do and realize after a few minutes that I am trying to do a billion things at one time
10. I always seem to be rushing to get out the door no matter how much time I give myself
11. The decorative pillows on my bed go a certain way and that's that (Scott loves to mess with me and move them around or mess them up)
12. I will walk around my house straightening things throughout the day
13. I clean up a mess before the mess is over

Case in point...even Jackson's caught on to mommy's craziness



After I had cleaned the entire house, Jackson decided to take every toy out of his toy box and throw them all over the floor. This was after he dumped his raisins out everywhere and was swatting at them with the fly swatter he had found in the drawer. All I could do was laugh! He has learned well from his dad!

Oh Megan - I think we might have been separated at birth. Your "13" sounds like a day at my house. Brian, too, loves to mess with me and is constantly asking me to just sit down an relax. But there is ALWAYS something that could be cleaner or more organized. Sometimes I actually act on the thought that I need to slow down and realize that time on the couch with Brian may be what's more important.

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

The Promise Land

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 We Christians like this verse; like A LOT. We have it written all over the place. We hang this verse up in our home and tattoo it to our bodies. Jeremiah 29:11 is everyone's life verse. I mean, who doesn't want to rest in knowing the God has a plan for our life; especially when that plan includes safety and prosperity. Even if I didn't believe in God, I would hold onto this verse. What if, however, we have been misinterpreting this verse all these years? This life, the here and the now, we like it. Well, some of us probably want to throw this life in the trash like a rough draft and have a do-over. But, for the most part, we hold onto this life for dear life. It is all we know. It can be scary to think of anything else. Because of this, we go all in even when the cards we are dealt are bad. Thi...
