A Week After 30: June 2013
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. A Bird's Eye View. 8220;What’s it like to be a pastors’ kid? 8221; they ask. As if it was something crazy, unique or forbidden. It’s glamorous when you see it week to week as I sneak into my drum cage. There’s a lot that you don’t see. Like my dad, pacing the front, looking at the clock and the attendance wondering if that is it, or my mom, looking out briefly before she hides behind her keyboard. What you don’t see are the years leading up to it. So why does it matter you ask?

A Week After 30: December 2013
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. This year has brought a lot of changes in our lives. We’ve made some great memories and learned some hard lessons. Before Christmas break,. I received three notifications from the school about my second daughter. Anyone who knows her understands what a free spirit and determined child she is. Tristen loves attention. She’s a very entertaining individual. When her sister was getting out of hand, Tristen told her that she was being a zero, not a hero! Do we do a jar? Every time ...

A Week After 30: Silencing the Angry Child Within
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2012/03/silencing-angry-child-within.html
Tuesday, March 13, 2012. Silencing the Angry Child Within. This has been increasingly hard lately as I see my daughter trying to navigate her way through second grade. I remember the little baby I held, secure in the fact that I just knew. It was going to be different for her as I helped her through it. It’s not different. It’s not even any easier. I forgot that mean crappy people start in the form of children in school! I made it. I learned a valuable lesson. Do I hate the horse? No But I know to ride.

A Week After 30: Christmas Time’s A Comin
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-times-is-comin.html
Saturday, December 4, 2010. Christmas Time’s A Comin. A half an hour later, I heard the diesel pull up to the garage and went with glee to meet Wayne as the garage door opened. His expression was still a tad grumpy, but I chose to ignore it. I looked in the back of the truck and there were THREE big boxes! 8221; Feeling rather proud of myself, I said “No kids THAT is ONE Christmas tree! My exuberance about the tree hit full peak. I called everyone I knew to tell them about the massive tree in the mid...

A Week After 30: May 2013
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 30, 2013. From One Mom to Another. We know our kids are doing well through their grades, through their awards and through recognition in other aspects. But sometimes, the unremarkable is just as important as the remarkable. When they are young, people easily compliment you on their behavior, their manners and how they treat each other. After eighteen, the rest of the things you worked so repetitively to instill goes unspoken, but is often appreciated. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 8221; they ...

A Week After 30: August 2013
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 14, 2013. The Cracks That Make Us Whole. Love is imperfect. It is the sharing of love that makes it whole. I’d like to say that my love for my husband is perfect, but there are many things through our history that make it feel like others are looking through shattered glass. My love for my kids also has the same appearance. Amazingly enough, when you view the big picture, it looks whole. And for a good reason. Where would I be without these great people to write about? It’s a plac...

A Week After 30: Love: The Never-ending Lesson
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2012/02/love-never-ending-lesson.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Love: The Never-ending Lesson. We read books, we read articles, and we take quizzes trying to figure out what it looks like. What it is supposed to feel like and how to recognize when it is true. It is hard to grasp what it is supposed. Day, I might get it right. But that is not a guarantee. Cause my understanding of love changes through every experience. It’s about being willing to try until we get it. Whatever it looks like, whatever it feels like, whomever you share it with...

A Week After 30: We love Jesus, but We don’t Love Everyone Else
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2013/12/we-love-jesus-but-we-dont-love-everyone.html
Wednesday, December 11, 2013. We love Jesus, but We don’t Love Everyone Else. My oldest child came home wanting to attend the Good News Club at school. She was so excited because they shared Jesus. She wanted to know why we don’t go to church anymore. She misses Sunday school. Unfortunately, the people that were in leadership were also people who double crossed my parents as pastors. I don’t want them leading my kids as youth pastors. Isn’t the meaning of Amen, “I agree? I was shocked by my own requisite...

A Week After 30: The Tricks On Me
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2011/10/tricks-on-me.html
Wednesday, October 26, 2011. The Tricks On Me. I am all for celebrating the harvest and our family does take part in some of the Fall Festival activities. One day isn’t enough to create an attitude of entitlement, but is it indicative of what we are teaching our children during the rest of the year? October 31, 2011 at 10:23 AM.

A Week After 30: September 2013
http://aweekafterthirty.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. A Grown Up’s Guide To Life. Yea, I about glued my hands and my wooden buttons together with tung oil this afternoon. I realized that it was a serious problem when I told my husband about it in our Facebook chat. Because he was at work, it was kind of a one sided conversation of me telling him about it:. What he didn’t read was “OMG! My wedding ring is covered in this sticky stuff… is it ever going to come off? I have to get yarn later; I could be one fuzzy handed lady!
