Fostering Hope

All is actually pretty good in my world right now. 

Adam has "halfway" fixed the IMac, so, SOON I will finally be able to upload pictures and stuff again! I am thankful for my nerdy husband. 

Riley has been begging for a T.V for her room. She asks her dad all the time "Daddy I need a big T'V for my bedroom".  I had mixed feelings about her actually getting one. I know lot's of mom's who are against having TV's in their kid's bedrooms. So we had just been sitting on that thought, when my friend mentioned that she had a small TV that she was getting rid of. Without thinking, I said I'd take it for Riley's room. We got it yesterday, and actually, it has not been bad at all. It's 12:30 noon and her TV has just now been turned on. I made a few rules for it: 

-The TV stay's unplugged during nap time and bed time. 

-No cable! Mom picked DVD's only. 

-No eating in front of it. 

I can add to the rule list if I see a different problem arising from it. It was nice yesterday to be able to watch a show with adam in the living room, and the girl's actually stayed in their room playing and watching veggie tales. Thank you, friend, for the TV :) 

Baby #3 is going good. I'm 17 & 2 today. Times a flying. In just 8 days, we'll know what we're having! If for some reason they can't see it in 8 days, I go back the next week for another. Baby, open your legs & put your bottom down for us, pretty please! I'm dying to know what you are!

Her or his heartbeat is very loud and strong for 4 months, which is good! 

Adam's job is getting a bit better. Woohoo. He had this weekend off, and requested next weekend off for a wedding. We also have vacation coming up easter weekend, OH how I can't wait to get away. Heritage (golf tournament) is coming up, and supposedly that will be a very busy week for them, one of the busiest out of the year. I'm going to prepare myself now to not see him for that week. 

I need to go around & catch up with everyone's blogs. I'm out of the loop with everyone. 

So, I've come to the conclusion, that I hate going to church and feeling like I'm in high school. Hearing about drama between forty year old people, sometimes being in that drama, gossip & jealousy among all the "younger" people. Realizing how self righteous people are really turns me off. I hate going to people with an issue and realizing that they already know what I'm talking about before I even told them. It make's me feel 1)dumb and 2)pointless to continue talking to them about it, they've already heard at least one side of it. 

Don't get me wrong, I like my church  and it's where I've grown the most, I've learned how to have a relationship with God. I want to continue to grow and learn and let God guide me to where he want's me in the church.  I invite people to come and everything, but I almost want to warn them to keep their distance.  I know what I have to do to fix this, and with God, it will be easier then I think. But I know if I continue to stay where I'm at with the same people doing the same thing, nothing is going to change.

Here's to change, because it is about God.
