january discoveries

discovery - my word for 2012. well, i intended to be a bit more faithful in blogging about my discoveries, but alas, i failed. so i thought to my self, "self, get crackin." so here i am midway through february (it can be considered midway on the 9th right? i mean there are only 29 days!) and decided i'd give you bullet point discoveries from january. i like bullet points, but i usually think and process in circles so this might be a bullet point list in random order!

...grace - i'm discovering just how much i need it, don't deserve it, and crave it all at the same time

...how cool it is that my hubby knows random odd facts

...my family finds great joy in sitting in front of the tv on friday night and learning about people's family trees

...learning that i'd like to do more homemade

...i have an issue with sugar. kind of like a love affair

...son really does take care of his lizards

...i still have this unusual obsession for my morning blueberries with a bit of oatmeal

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
