I haven't been here in a while, but here I am. I've been confronted with two things recently. I guess they're related. 1. I have a lot of issues, and I desire in no way to avoid them because of the pain involved in working through them. (that's an ideal, not what always happens) 2. Lots of people choose to wallow in their brokenness, woundedness, pain, etc; instead of seeking healing. Some

Life wears on us. It can take a soft heart and make it callous. It can take an open mind and close it. It can take a heart full of love and replace it with bitterness. I'm not here to write about that so much of those transformations are about choice and how we choose to respond. I get that. I want to write about those times when a moment surprises us, and a soft part of our hearts gets exposed

I have felt a lot of tension lately. About what I know vs. what I actually do. Mostly related to food.I started to cook really healthily around the beginning of 2009, but my pregnancy with Darcy put a halt to that. I know you are supposed to eat really healthy when you are pregnant and I really did try, but for the most part anything green makes me want to vomit when I'm pregnant. So I went

Danny and I had a great fight today. I mean it was a real winner. I think the best part of it is that the whole thing was in front of my sister, complete with escalated decibels of talking, otherwise known as "yelling". Ok, no, that was not the best part of it (but if it had to be in front of anyone, I would choose her because I know she wasn't judging us at all). Conflict is healthy...if

I'm sorry. This is going to sound self-righteous and rude. But shut up. Stop complaining all the damn time. This is not directed at any one individual (I really try hard not to do that) It is just a general observation that SOOO many people complain ALL the time and are just so negative. Life is hard. I'm not saying we should deny that. You can acknowledge that without whining about it. Ok,

Sometimes when I sit across from Danny, and he is vulnerable with me and we talk about things, I feel like we are sharing a secret. Nothing we're sharing is actually a real secret, it's just ours. I have fallen in love with my husband even more recently. His openness to my ideas, to my desires, to my criticisms, to...me. I don't take it lightly, the love we share. The gift we've been given and

I cannot recommend this new album enough. It is mellow, lyrically beautiful and genius and just all around inspiring.I think the first 10 times I listened to it, I cried at some point.The reviews describe it better than I can:"5 Stars: Raw. Pure. Innocent. Soothing. Crisp. Beautiful. Honest. Amazing. Moving. Clear. Intense. An immense flow of emotion comes pouring out of Groves during Fireflies

This was not even in my top 25 favorite U2 songs until the recent concert. It was performed so simply with just Bono singing and The Edge on acoustic guitar. The words struck me and I found myself realizing I needed them said to me. It is almost every day that I think "later will be better", that life is going to get easier. And it probably will, but it might not. I can't keep getting stuck

I got really mad this weekend. I found out something that made me feel terribly disrespected.It would make me feel really good for about a half a second to use this platform of a blog to talk about that in detail, but it'd be pointless and passive aggressive.And so shallow.I'm so sad right now over something totally unrelated. It's not my place to talk about it, but it's a big deal and it just

I love him.He was gone this weekend and boy did I miss him. He travels for work every couple months, so it's not like we're never apart. But he was off having nothing but fun. And I LOVE it when Danny's relaxed and having fun, so I missed experiencing that. I'm glad he got to go do what he did though. We can't be everything to each other, you know? Sometimes we need to be with other people and

Tonight I did something that I suck at.I held my tongue and resisted the urge to be bitchy and manipulative in order to get my way.I shared my feelings. But I did it from a place of honesty. Not sarcasm or defensiveness.It was really hard. Because I really really really wanted my way.But more than that I want to do relationship in a way that promotes growth and honesty and closeness.Jesus helped

No WAY!I did NOT start laundry and leave it in the washer to soil.

My Aunt Linda died on Monday. In one sense it was a long time coming as she had been fighting cancer for almost 2 years; and in another sense it happened suddenly because once she had peace in her heart about dying from cancer, she went downhill extremely fast and died less than 2 weeks later.Death and dying is something that affects every single person, and yet when it happens it is so

Life is messy.I don't want to be afraid of getting dirty.What does that look like?Some days it means having tough conversations and some days it means being quiet.Some days it means not closing myself off emotionally and other days it means setting new boundaries.Some days it means fighting hard and other days it means giving in.Some days it means dancing.

I went to a MOPS leadership summit today. The subject was authenticity. I have a lot of thoughts on this, but they are all floating around in my head still, totally jumbled. I hope to coagulate them so they can land here in a meaningful form at some point or another.

I have been known in my life to be neurotic about things that I wish were different about myself (yeah who hasn't right?) Well, these two songs go together. Both by Sara Groves, on subsequent albums. Something Changed is a response to Like a Skin. Something Changed is probably one of my favorite songs of hers, because of how well it articulates that any positive and real change in our lives is

A couple weeks ago I got to help lead worship at a youth thing for my old youth pastor. It was me, my cousin Jason, and Braving Winter.We did this song. We took it down a half step and Kyle did the verses and I did the chorus.Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever get the experience of singing this song again the way that we did it. I don't really attempt belting stuff out any more in general,

The new U2 CD is so good.I don't take issue with people who don't like U2, because taste in music and art and all that stuff is very subjective. (my beef with people claiming their tastes as truth is a different post for a different day)But I do take issue with people who question Bono's faith. He writes scripture into almost every song. It's amazing to listen to a song for the fourth or fifth

One of the most valuable lessons that I learned from Steve Brown's teaching was about how we as Christians put a lot of energy into demonizing other Christians who are not like us or with whom we don't agree and how that robs us of our freedom.Last night while going through the Beth Moore study on Esther she said something to the effect of "don't waste your time making enemies with someone who is

And I wanted to find a good post of old and wordle it.So I'm reading some old stuff, from two and three years ago. Even stuff from last year. And I feel like there is a part of me that is missing right now. I can't really explain it well.But I miss that part of me.

I really wanted to go out to dinner with Danny for Valentine's day. We have never made a big deal of the holiday, usually just a dinner date, maybe some champagne, but no presents or flowers. But it's fun to spend a little too much on dinner and just be together.Danny got super sick Friday night though.

Here are some thoughts I had as I watched the Grammy's.-I love U2. They could sing anything and I would love them. I am so excited about their new CD. So so so so so so excited.-Whitney might need to go to rehab again.-Chris Martin is one dorky looking guy. How did he get Gwyneth Paltrow? Is this why every guy wants to be in a band at some point in his life?-Everything Alison Krause seems to

I think more than ever I am hating passive aggression. Maybe because most of the time I feel its effects in a way that is more than just "oh this type of communication bothers me".I want to be self aware enough and honest to see when I'm giving into the urge to not be direct and clear.

I'm thinking of starting a blog just for my adventures as a mom. I think I'll do it. I might not like compartmentalizing my blog life like that, but it's worth a try.I love being a mom.

Tonight I realized something that will undoubtedly happen in the next few months and then realized that it is going to throw tons of my own issues in my face that I will have to deal with and work through. I guess I could start working through them now because it's not like the issues aren't already there and I really do know for almost certain what is going to happen.No, I won't tell you what is

I see it clearly.So many souls are reaching and hoping. In nothing.Nothing that will sustain past empty words, empty hopes, empty dreams.It rips my heart into pieces. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.I want to stand up and tell them Good News. But I know they've heard it before. Yet they choose the darkness. It feels like a safer friend than Light. Even if it is empty. And hopeless.

Danny and I gave each other days to sleep in while the other gets up with Olive. I go to the office two mornings a week, and then there is church on Sunday mornings, so that leaves us 4 days - 2 each. He gets Tuesday and Friday and I get Thursday and Saturday. This has been a really great thing. This week we switched my Thursday for Wednesday and I slept until 10:30 and then napped with Olive

Danny and I watched a few episodes of Entourage Season 2 together tonight. There is one with a scene from a U2 Concert, the Vertigo 2005 tour. Same tour I saw them on. I miss them.

Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn't make any. I'd like to make some for this year. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Emily 4.

Two funny stories about Olive.1.) She has started to want to climb on the fireplace hearth ever since we put our Christmas tree up for some reason. I have been telling her no, getting down on her level, trying to make her understand. She is still pretty young though. Last night she was starting to climb up there and I told her no and started wagging my finger at her from a distance. She

I am so happy the election is almost here. That is an understatement. I don't know if I was asleep the last election or if just really was not as retarded as it is now.A couple things. Not that anyone cares.I am really surprised at a lot of Christians during this election. 1. Jesus is probably going to come back if Obama is elected President? Really?

So, Olive is a drama queen. I don't know where she gets it. ;-)Last night we went to Epcot and stayed for the fireworks. Now, Olive "saw" the fireworks when she was three weeks old...she was either or sleeping or nursing and she could only see like 18 inches from her face at that point anyway. Ok, back to the story.So, Danny and I were really excited to watch them with her. She is just a fun

Sometimes I just wish I could read something that Jesus tells me to do and have it be something that just comes naturally to me. None of it does though.So many times I ignore Him and choose what does come naturally. That's the easy way. The foolish way. And then there are the times when I surrender. And it's worth it, just like He said it would be.Today I surrendered. Don't get me wrong. I

Is that there is a "Thinkspot" by Steve Brown on the radio during that drive time. He made me laugh this morning. Jesus uses Steve to remind me all the time that I don't have it together, that I don't have to, and that only Jesus can make me better.In other news. Olive still has no teeth.

I like movies that are funny but also pack a serious punch in the depth department.The only two movies that really fit that description that I had seen as of last night were Garden State (love it) and Little Miss Sunshine (love love love it).Last night I watched The Darjeeling Limited. It was fantastic. It's one of those movies that I'm sure 87% of people hate because they can't figure out if

I got to be a part of something really great this past week. Jason asked me to come with him and 5 other musicians to lead worship at a youth camp for our old youth pastor. It was a blast. Everyone who was a part was really talented so it was not very stressful to practice or play each day. The kids were also really responsive in worship. What a blessing that was!

One of the cool things about Netflix is that you can watch some movies online.Today I watched Regarding Henry. It took me all day because, you know, I have a baby and she does not enjoy movies.I had seen that movie a while ago and remembered liking it so I watched it again.It's a great flick.

I only have one child. I hope to have many more. Something atypical happened in the family that I grew up in. The three siblings have always gotten along really well. It's like any relationship - we have our moments. But there is a deep love there that cannot be denied. It's not just because we "have to" either, but because we really and truly care about each other.I don't normally go for

This is my life.Some days are hard. With fussing and frustration and work and worries.But most days are this. Smiles and love. Overflow.I savor it.The future is not even real.And this is what I have right now.A smiling baby and a husband who adores us both and lets us know it.Sometimes grace is 5 minutes on the side of the pool in the middle of a stressful and emotionally challenging day.

I am in Texas at a conference for my jewelry business. It's my 6th one that I have attended, but the first with a baby. Children aren't allowed in the sessions though. I knew I could NOT NOT NOT leave Olive for 4 days. It turns out even 6 hours does me in.

Of all the fruit of the Spirit, I think gentleness is the one I experience the least often. From others and within myself.It makes sense though. As humans we are bent to get our own way. To be right. It's hard to accomplish those things gently and we usually have to be harsh and manipulate people to reach this carnal need of things working in our favor and to our own personal satisfaction.

Someone said something to me tonight that really bothered me. It was rude, insensitive and I hated the way I responded. I have seen this person maybe 5 times in my life and will probably not see him again for another 2 years at least.So why oh why should I care what he says to me, thinks about me, etc.? Why should it even bother me when it happens, much less for the whole freakin rest of the

1. Our internet went out this morning and I had to have something in by noon, so I ran up to Panera and left Olive with my dad. When I got back he told me she had pulled up on the coffee table and grunted out a gross poop. He changed her, of course, but gave me all the gory details.She was only in a diaper and I went to put a onsie on her. Something wasn't right.The diaper was on backwards.2.

And I think Shane E has a daughter named Olive. And I have kissed Josh Wilson. lol I was 3 and the only way I know this is because there is a picture. Our parents are good friends for ages. We're not friends, but I'm happy he

Something happened when I got pregnant and I started enjoying watching golf on TV. We had lots of fun watching the U.S. Open this past weekend, and even though I slept through most of the play-off on Monday, it was a great and exciting ending. I think my favorite moment was when Tiger chipped in for eagle on one of the back nine holes on Saturday (or maybe it was Sunday?). It was 90% luck and I

Did someone ever say something to you that is totally valid but sounds really, really funny?The sermon series at Reset right now is Jesus: UnCensored. As usual during every day of my life, I doodled during the sermon and put the notes in my purse.Danny was looking for change in my purse yesterday and said, "Casey, why is Jesus in your purse with tape over his mouth?"I laughed pretty hard at that

So apparently when I was not paying attention (which is almost all the time), these nasty flat sandals came into style. I went to a baby shower yesterday that was mainly a bunch of college-age hipsters and so many of the girls had these things on. I can see how if you have chicken legs they will look good, but talk about making fat legs look fatter - throw on a pair of flat sandals with straps

Thanks! :-)Jodi,Yes, I have listened to Jon Foreman's stuff. Scratch that. I do listen to him on a regular basis. LOVE him and his solo work. It's quite mellow which I need. Jessica,I don't really have that much to say about Barack Obama. Except that I can't stand that people still think he's Muslim. And that I think it'd be ok if he was President. I guess that's not that controversial.

I'm quite jealous of other blogs and their comments. I'm so vain!I thought I'd at least get one or two with my rant about co-sleeping. Like "you're crazy for putting Olive in the bed with you!" or "what about your sex life?" or "aren't you scared you're going to roll over on her?"So, I'm taking suggestions for controversial things to write about so I can get some comments.I figure here are some

It is 1:35 am. My 6 month old baby is crawling around on the bedroom floor. I don't do cry it out, so this is where we are tonight. Awake. I should get some work done or something, but I'm pretty foul to say the least. I would not be so annoyed if my head weren't throbbing with a headache that I've had since about 6. She is playing with a shoelace, by the way.Oh wait, now she is playing with

My dad brought me an article to read tonight that was in our local paper. It was about infant sleeping deaths and how babies should not share a bed with their parents.I think I've mentioned on this blog that Olive sleeps in the bed with us. It's so annoyingly taboo here in America and so accepted in other countries with fewer "experts". I'm frustrated because there is a safe way to co-sleep

Jason and Brittany's wedding was one of the best yet. It's really not fair to the vocalists though to have the groom break down right before you're supposed to sing. Kyle and I made it through ok though. We sang "How Can I", one of the songs I was lucky enough to be apart of on Kyle and Jason's Words of Redemption ep.Jennifer came and watched Olive for me at the church since Danny and I were

First, some things I'm sick of.-I'm sick of being treated like garbage on the road when I drive the speed limit.-I'm sick of being sick. I have a double ear infection and had the 2nd worse pain of my life on Tuesday as a result. At least I got some good drugs.-I'm sick of passive aggression and attempts at manipulation.-I'm sick of Olive waking up at 5 am. It's only happened once this week.

Because of my jewelry business Danny and I usually have to pay taxes every year.A combination of factors has allowed us to not owe this year. I had extra taken out of my paycheck at work. We had Olive. Danny started working for himself. It's just glorious. I've been high as a kite since I finished our taxes at 10:17 last night. (Yes, I'm a procrastinator)We didn't take the refund though, we

What was I thinking?!?!I just went and looked at a blog that continually never ceases to make me wonder if Jesus is coming back in the next ten minutes.I remember one day I heard a bible study on slander. I honestly wish I would never have heard it. Because then I could go off on this blogger and their blog and not feel

My jaw was on the floor for about 4 minutes tonight as the American Idol finalists sang Shout To The Lord. It was one of those things where you think you dreamed it and when you tell someone they're like, "yeah, like that would ever happen." It was surreal.Speaking of dreams. I have had some whacko ones lately. Just to give you a glimpse. I dreamed I ran over Sam Waterston with my F250. I

I have been sick off and on for about 3 weeks now. I'm pretty pissed about it actually. I was getting better, then I started getting worse, then better, now worse. What gives? It seems to be just a cold. A neverending cold!!Olive had sniffles but nothing really to write home about. I won't be one of those moms who is like "oh my baby has never been sick blah blah blah" Who cares? I will

It is a nice thing that babies do not have bad breath. I really like having my face close to Olive's and it would suck if she had bad breath.I got her laughing soooo good the past few days. Danny is out of town so I'm kind of it as far as entertainment goes. It's been good though. Lonely, but good.I went to storage tonight and got out some of my books. I got out Operating Instructions by

Olive sings. Did I already write about this? Well, anyway, she definitely does. I was at practice last night for Reset and so they all got to witness it. There's Olive, in the Moby wrap, singing with Mom. It's baby singing, but it's something, and it's the cutest something you can imagine. I told my cousin, Jason, "She already knows all these songs" from me singing all the time when she was

Danny went back to our Bradley class this past Friday and shared our birth story with the new set of students. Apparently having a baby without an epidural on pitocin makes you some sort of super hero. Who knew? :) They told me I should brag about it. So here I am. Bragging.I also shared the breastfeeding story in hopes that the new moms would be encouraged to get all the information they

Well, yesterday was my first day back at work. Luckily I'll be doing most of my work from home, so I think the transition is going to be ok. The hardest thing will be having to actually think about something other than just sitting around and playing with Olive. I refuse to just lay her on a play mat for hours on end while I work, so I'll mostly be working either while she's asleep or when

I had a little epiphany today. I was talking to my sister. Well, she was actually talking to me sharing some really personal and vulnerable things. I love that...when raw honesty brings two people closer together.Anyway...I told her that I thought God used me not being able to breastfeed Olive to really humble me.
