changes....


so if you follow this at all, you will know that i've talked a lot recently about my family experiencing change. today the journey began....


hubby quit his job, effective august 1. like as in 2 weeks! wowzers huh!! now most of you are probably assuming i'm going to follow this with what the new job is, but well, there isn't one! funny....i'm sure some people think this is absolutely crazy. we think it is absolutely right. and from those we've talked with they agree. there is a sense of fear and worry, i mean, i work and make a little, but we kinda need more than that. but the call to obey is far greater. and the joy and peace in that obedience is even greater.


i don't know what the next several months will look like. different than what i expected a few months ago for sure. hubby and i will get to spend all sorts of time together. he'll be looking for different opportunities, the kiddos will be in school all day, and i'll be working from home and at home. hmm...i think it will take some getting used to, but i may just find i like having him around alot - or he might not be around much at all. who knows!!!


so we are walking in faith here. it has been a walk already, but we both feel good. there is some excitement. the plan is to venture out on his own in some fashion. the plan is for hubby to live his dreams and passions. he is a very talented man with a lot of wisdom and interests and skills....


and so the journey begins....

Congratulations! It feels like jumping out of an airplane, doesn't it? Don't worry, you have a parachute...it's called God and He will set you down gently exactly where He wants you.

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
