Longing for freedom

February 27, 2007 at 2:57 pm (Considerations)

Some glad morning, when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away,
To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away.
Like a bird from these prison walls, I’ll fly, I’ll fly away.

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away, When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye, I’ll fly away.

O, how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away

No more cold iron shackles on my feet,I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away, O Glory, I’ll fly away. When I die Hallelujah bye and bye, I’ll fly away!

Just a few more weary days and then I’ll fly away.
To a land where joys shall never end I’ll fly away.

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away, When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye, I’ll fly away…

This song gives me the same feeling as hearing young Jenny in Forest Gump pray, “Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly, far far away.”

Hormones or something deeper?

February 22, 2007 at 3:15 pm (Life Happening)

Deut 11:13-15 “So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul- then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.”

Seems like I am connecting with God regularly. And yet the last week has been one struggle after the other to stay in the Spirit and not get down or be irritable. First it started with me needing to hold back tears every other hour. Then it turned to frustration over every little thing. Plus it hasn’t helped that I can’t seem to think clearly. So either the pregnancy brain cloud over my first trimester has returned, or I need to add some ginko biloba to my diet. I want to break free from wrong thought patterns, etc, but with this brain cloud hovering, it has made it hard to figure out if there is something deeper going on, and if so, what that is. Lord, send your rain.

Potty Training

February 21, 2007 at 10:52 pm (Kid Talk)

Reading about the elegant universe

Potty training is going fairly well. We started on January 22nd.  As of right now, he is pretty much trained.  These last few days he has been telling me more and more when he has to use the potty.  Now, the times that I “make” him go are when we are leaving the house, and then if I know that a long time has passed.  He goes most days not without any accidents, or maybe one at the most.  I am super excited that he has caught on so quickly.

Massage

February 21, 2007 at 5:37 pm (Life Happening)

This morning I finally went and redeemed the girft certificate that Dan gave me a while back for an hour massage.  It was amazing!  I walked out of there feeling a little unsure of driving b/c I was a walking noodle!  I found myself being a little jealous of those rich people that get to do that on a regular basis.  But then I realized, most people in the world will probably never even get to experience it at all.  God is good and so is my husband!
