Gomer's Siesta

-
Want to know what I got done here this week while my husband was away? I cleaned the bathroom. That's right. Marvel at my success. Well, being pregnant and having two small people in tow, I didn't get much done. Homeschool did abound and I fed my children 3 meals a day. I feel pretty accomplished. Since I can't nest inside our house, I was nesting outside by planting boodles of pink and white flowers. 

Last week while we were at Carolina Creek, the Nomads were in our house taping and floating our drywall. I didn't get a picture of it because, well, I wasn't here. I'll be sure and snap a picture of their finished product when I get down to the kitchen without a baby in my arms. 

On our old door, you have to turn the key the opposite way of what you would think you should and they couldn't figure it out. So, one of these seventy year old people shimmied through a window. I laughed so hard when Denbigh told me. Our house is high. It's pretty hilarious and amazing that they got in. The drywall looks amazing. You can tell they are meticulous about their service. 

That's my thrilling update. The cabinets are supposed to arrive next week. I will give them a big hug from you all when they arrive. Love to you.

David Crowder's House Restoration

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel

Miscarriage | Infertility | Hope

I encountered Jesus as a young child in a church pew in the balcony of an old country church. Through a lifetime of trial, I knew he was there. I did not always know or understand what he wanted of me, but I knew I was wanted. We could go through all of the pain and abuse of my life and unpack each tiny detail, but that is not what this is really about. I love what Frederick Buechner said, “Pain is not the biggest thing that has ever happened to you.” That is true. I have beheld far greater glory. As I clung to his word through all of this, I knew he was there.   My story about trying begins long before I began trying to have children. I tell you this because almost half of the population has been abused in some way. The attack on my uterus began when I was four-years-old. I spent most of my life believing that I was broken and I was crippled by shame. I carried that shame into every relationship I had. As I encountered people in the church, I never felt safe enough to ask for prayer o
