Journeys in Faith: October 2013
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Monday, October 28, 2013. The fear of coming across as condescending or "know it all" or that I think I am on some sort of a "spiritual pedestal" (for the truly spiritually mature, you understand- there are so few of us out there- dramatic sigh) kind of forestalls me. So how do I share my thoughts and "insights" without coming across that way? I want to show them deeper ways, but who am I to them? Should anyone be listening? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a follower of Jesus Christ,...

Journeys in Faith: March 2015
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Monday, March 30, 2015. Yesterday was Palm Sunday. A rather obvious fact. We did not go to church. I missed that and was feeling a bit down about it. But Ken decided to invite the neighbors over for lunch "spur of the moment" so I didn't have much time to focus on my thoughts while I prepared the meal and what not. And the conversation with the neighbor was an eye-opener for me. Interestingly, despite and maybe because of growing up in the church Ken feels pretty much the same way...

Journeys in Faith: October 2011
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Monday, October 31, 2011. A couple of weeks ago the fam here went to one of the local "harvest festivals", which seem to be built up around farm stores at this time of year. We ended up with the most beautiful sunny day we had had that week. Perfect for an outdoors outing. Having escaped out the other end of the maze we came to the pumpkin patch. Matthew got us a wheelbarrow and we picked many, many pumpkins. It was a bit icky because many of the prettiest pumpkins were partially rot...

Journeys in Faith: October 2012
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Friday, October 12, 2012. Goodness, it's been a while since I was here (yes, I've always been good at stating the self-evident). Life has happened. And it is GOOD. There is so much to catch you up on! I am well aware that my life and choices are far from conventional, but they have proven wonderful for me! But then I come back to something that Ken and I talked about before we were married and frequently talk about now too: Contentment is a choice. So is happiness. It is about where ...

Journeys in Faith: February 2012
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Friday, February 17, 2012. On the Grace of God. Lately I have been working on our Christian Family. Course. For now I am just reading through and looking at what needs to be changed and how to go about that. I have really been enjoying this particular course because I am looking at having children myself now. Ken and I do hope to have children (biologically or by adoption or maybe both J. So reading a course about parenting is naturally very interesting. We could look at other exampl...

Journeys in Faith: September 2011
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Yesterday was the perfect fall day. A bit nippy in the morning, warmed up and a bit sunny but still a bit overcast in the afternoon. And it was a blustery day. Driving home from the market I was watching leaves tumble across the street as gusts of wind came and went. Watching their haphazard paths made me wonder where they had started and where they would end up. How many more lives will it affect, come into contact with? Challenge or lift up? A series of...

Journeys in Faith: April 2015
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Today has been a high anxiety day. Not one of those things I like to talk about or even really think about. I'm feeling better now, but then again, I'm sitting on the couch with a frosty mocha and an empty ice cream bowl and every time I think about getting up to do something profitable with my day I feel the anxiety flare up again. So therefore anxiety=lack of faith. And there are times when I am anxious about things like finances or my husband's safety or...

Journeys in Faith: Mother's Day
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2015/05/mothers-day.html
Thoughts on my life. Monday, May 11, 2015. There's so many things I want to say about Mother's Day! I have funny stories to tell, like about my little man managing to get both legs stuck in one hole of a grocery cart seat all the way up to his hips! Or how he has a perverse fascination with the dog food and often has a piece rolling around in his mouth (GROSS! Or like today shared some with mama's clean laundry so that as I took out and folded each piece I was shaking dog food all over the place. Is it r...

Journeys in Faith: January 2012
http://journeysinfaith.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts on my life. Monday, January 30, 2012. Wow, you send out one email saying that you are switching to part-time, but still fully committed to see the project through and people start dropping like flies. This month I got only half of the support that I need. Now I am desperately looking for a job to make ends me and wondering how I will complete my commitment if I have to start working full-time someplace else. People are so faithless! Desperate times call for desperate measures. But yes, we are st...
