THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Friday, August 10, 2012. I hate ferris wheels. The up an down makes me nauseous. And throughout the ride you see the same things over and over again. I think I ride a ferris wheel in every day life. My husband thanks me for all that I do and then makes supper for us all. I think how our marriage is a good example of the way it should be and I'm proud. Later we are frustrated and miscommunicating about what he really meant when he said "I guess." I internal...Its a con...

THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Sunday, January 20, 2013. For Today, Sunday, January 20, 2013. After a late arrival last week at school for icy roads, the 65 degree weather this weekend was much welcomed. We spent much of our time on Saturday outside because I know winter is not over, and we may not have a chance to be out for awhile. I am thankful for. To Hot Springs, Arkansas in March. The 4 of us, along with my parents, will be going to stay in a little cabin and just play! I JUST started The Hob...

THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Saturday, June 30, 2012. My girl is 2 today! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my little sidekick. She is always with me, always happy, and always making me laugh or smile. We butt heads every once in a while, because we are so much alike, but I am thankful for her companionship. So here is a 2 year update. Age: 2 years today! About 22 pounds, wearing 24 month clothes and size 4 shoes. Depends on her mood! VERY silly. I think both of my kids are really funny. But Colin isn't t...Her b...

THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Sunday, August 11, 2013. Being relevant and putting bloggers articles in their proper place. This article really paints an accurate picture of what is happening all over America. Even for churches that try hard NOT to be like this. its still a huge temptation to give in to the "Lets be more relevant. more cool! Motive when planning and making decisions for the church. Not said in that time era. And here lately, the big thing has been links to articles from blogger...

The Notelpats: October 2013

THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Sunday, October 20, 2013. She had no idea. She was taken to the doctor to get a few stitches in the back of her head when she was about 10 years old. A boy had thrown a rock at her head during recess. Because of her insanely high pain tolerance, she had no idea that anything was even wrong. She just walked around the playground, dripping blood, without a care in the world. I am blessed to have grown up with that girl. Sure, hearing a song at 2am or fighting for th...

The Notelpats: July 2012
http://notelpats.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Monday, July 16, 2012. A lack of friendship. Last week I had the opportunity to go to Houston on a mission trip with 6 of our students. It was such an eye opening experience. I honestly don't know how I'm going to write this post because we did SO much stuff and I have SO many thoughts about it all. I'll start with a few pictures from the trip. These are tiny pictures because they came from my phone. Sorry. We took an awesome group of students. LOVE them. Houston is t...

The Heart of Dixon: March 2013
http://theheartofdixon.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. Child-like Faith pt 2. For when I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; but when I became a man, I did away with childish things" 1 Corinthians 13:11. I believe child-like faith is a good thing when it refers to certain areas of our faith; however like this verse in 1 Corinthians says when you become a (wo)man you have to put away childish things and start speaking, thinking, and reasoning like a grown up. I want to live like that.

The Notelpats: Take a drink
http://notelpats.blogspot.com/2013/05/take-drink.html
THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. That being said, I've tried lots of different approaches with these angry fits. And there is one ridiculously simple approach that I swear by and seems to work most of the time. I just tell them "Take a drink.". I walk her to the water fountain. She doesn't even know that's what she needs, so she doesn't take a drink when asked. I have to turn the knob for her and gently push her head toward the flow of water. There is something about drinking...

The Notelpats: Anxiety anchors me
http://notelpats.blogspot.com/2014/03/anxiety-anchors-me.html
THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Friday, March 14, 2014. I've struggled with anxiety for a while now. Its always been a quiet companion my whole life, but festered into more of a friend than I would like it to be in my 30s now. Anxiety does not control me all day every day. It just comes in moments. But the moments are powerful and overwhelming. I feel a ton of guilt during anxiety too. Then once the panic attack subsides I am left embarrassed at my behavior and my subconcious thoughts toward the God...
