Foot in Mouth Disorder

Do you ever accidentally say something, then moments later think “man! why on earth did I say that?” – not because it was wrong, but maybe at the wrong time or in front of the wrong person.

Lately I have been so bad about this.

I think I honestly have so much going through my head right now, that it just slips out.

Then it bothers me for days.

That feeling of anxiety and worry is so consuming.

I think that has probably been one of my biggest struggles right now.

Which is crazy because I do know what the scriptures say about it…

Its the application aspect that is difficult for me in this case.

We have 14 more days here….

But really I am ready to go.

IMG_9296copyI’m not ready to leave dear friends… but I just feel like being here is making it hard to heal. So many reminders of what has happened… what we will leave behind… not to mention a constant state of boxes is driving me a bit batty. There are portions of my home that you can’t even walk through any more – boxes to the ceiling!

We got pictures of the home we will live in once we move.

It is so beautiful. I feel so incredibly blessed to be going there.

Our kids saw photos and are beyond excited!

I think one of the most exciting things about it is the fact they will have DOWN beds at this new home.. no more bunks. We plan to keep our bunk bed, but no longer use it as a bunk bed.. its just to dangerous. Taite fell from the top bunk months ago and landed flat on his back. Thankfully we had a futon out under the beds and so he landed on a soft surface, not hardwood floors… otherwise he could of been killed.

So despite the real “practical” aspect of bunk beds for small spaces, they really can be very dangerous with small children… so I am glad to not have that to worry with now.

See, worry wart…

And Foot in my mouth disorder.

Sometimes the time calls for a new step.

and after years with SIMPLE im taking a leap and making that step.

Id love all my readers support!

- SIMPLE btw is still up and running, I just will no longer be a contributor on it.

Dinah left…

Dinah’s friend is still around…

I recently took some photos of him to list him on a feline adoption website.

I cant just leave him out there… well I mean I can, but I can at least try and find him a home.

Because he is very friendly.

The boys have named him Lincoln after our 1st cat – but I think he looks like a Jack Bauer or something :) LOL – not a Lincoln.

If he isnt adopted in a few months – I may take him to at least be fixed and given a rabies shot. If he is going to hang around its the least I could do. I think thats just being responsible, esp. if we begin to feed him on a regular basis.

But by no means will he be coming indoors!

His Smile

Can brighten even the hardest of days!

(Hebrews 4:12 NIV)
For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
