Hello again. Yes, I took a break from writing for a while, but I have been wanting to get back into it for a while now. I have been reading my Bible again on an almost nightly basis and have some more thoughts to share.
My first small thought being Exodus 3:2-3. This is the passage of the burning bush. For those of you who think God is boring, let me tell you...He is not! God sends an angel to light a bush on fire while Moses is walking past it. Moses can't help but stop and stare at it for a minute. I know he stopped and stared because the passage reads : 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
So, Moses saw this bush burning and looked at it long enough to realize it wasn't burning up. That's when he decided to mosey (hahaha) on over there and figure out what's going on. God can always send an angel to just appear before people or to speak to them without appearing before them or coming in a dream, but he sets bushes on fire and comes in pillars of cloud and of fire (Ex. 13:21). He even speaks through a donkey (Num. 22:28)! God is not boring. He knows how to get people's attention to talk to them. Especially when they won't listen. I mean, who would even think they'd be eaten by a big fish for not going to a town with really mean people in it? Certainly not, Jonah (Jonah 1:17).
My second thought is the whole story of Moses freeing the Israelites from slavery in Exodus 3-11. Now, everybody always tells this story with Moses being this courageous guy and talking to Pharaoh over and over and showing him God's abilities (which are endless) to make him free the Israelites. I reread this story recently and I have a major frustration for Moses. If you read chapters 3 and 4, God is speaking to Moses through the burning bush and telling him to get Pharaoh to free his people, but Moses whines and complains and makes excuses 3 times! I was really irritated with him when I read this, but then I wondered how many times I have done this myself. I just hope God doesn't get irritated with me...
Anyway, so God says, "Fine, take Aaron to talk to Pharaoh. I'll tell you what to do and you can tell Aaron." So where's Aaron's praise?? You know what Aaron says when Moses talks to him about this? NOTHING!! He just did it! So why isn't this story about Aaron?? Well, Aaron is even the one to tell the Israelites what God said to Moses.
So throughout the next few chapters, Aaron and Moses go to Pharaoh, tell him to let God's people go, and then performs miracles on God's behalf. Aaron talks to Pharaoh and Aaron performs the miracles until... Chapter 8, Moses finally speaks to Pharaoh directly. And then both men perform miracles together and then finally Moses takes over.
Here's the lesson I learned, God specifically hand chooses certain people to do certain tasks. He will tell you what he expects of you and if you say no or dilly dally (which is basically still saying no), God will find someone else. Fortunately for Moses, God still redeemed him and this story highlights him anyway. Poor Aaron though. But I bet, because of his complete obedience and courage, he got his recognition in Heaven...ten times over. :) Good for you, Aaron! Way to step out!
God, help me be more like Aaron, and less like Moses who is an excuse maker. Help me to just do what you ask and not think about what bad COULD happen, but just trust that you'll take care of me regardless. In Jesus' Holy Name. Amen.

A Life Post
Hey all! I just felt a need to update on what's going on in my life. I'm still not doing well at reading my Bible. I need it where I can see it so that I will actually read it so now it's on my coffee table. I did read Genesis 19 today, but I don't have much to say about it except that people are twisted. It's amazing to think how far back our world became corrupt and it's only gotten worse from there!
Anyway, I'm 30 weeks pregnant now and still not to the point where I wish it would just be over. Truth is, I'm terrified of what's to come. There's no taking this back! I look forward to meeting my son, but it's everything that comes with it that terrifies me. I almost want to stop reading books about it because they just keep scaring me more. And don't tell me my mommy instincts will kick in because I know this. But it's hard to imagine right now. I mean, I've been just a woman for 25 years so to just all the sudden become a mommy is like...woah!
And yes, I felt the same way about becoming a wife. That was terrifying all in itself and I had reason to be terrified! The first 1 1/2 years of our marriage were really, REALLY hard! But now things are better and I adore my wonderful husband who had been here for me completely through this pregnancy and I can't imagine doing it without him. Even with the birthing classes, he started off mostly just scared and not wanting to participate and now you should see him. (I have a smile that I couldn't stop even if I'd wanted to). When we do our relaxation "training" at the end of the class, he is so right there for me. I think he's going to do great when I go into labor.
So my only physical complaints about being pregnant are my shin splints, though other things are just very recently starting to happen. My feet and ankles are swelling, probably with all the heat lately, and my low back just yesterday started bothering me. I'm doing my exercises recommended in our birthing class so maybe the low back has held off because of that, but I might need to do them more often if this is the case.
Also, I only have 6 weeks left of work. I'm sooo excited. It's been a great 3 1/2 years, but I'm more than ready to move on. I'm just glad I've had such a good boss. And he's finally responding to me when I talk about my pregnancy instead of pretending like he didn't hear me. It's kind of hard not to face the facts when my belly is this big. Haha.
So I think that's all for now. Gotta go get ready for another day of work!!

Genesis 18
I'm getting back into the groove of reading my Bible and commenting on what I've read. I hope I keep this up. I'm going to try to blog weekly, but I don't know if that will happen. This week I read Genesis 18 and found a couple of good topics. The story that made me think the most was verses 16-33 where God tells Abraham he is going to go to Sodom to see if it's as bad as he's hearing and will destroy it if it is and Abraham pleads for the righteous. Here's Gen 18:20-26.
"Then the Lord said, 'The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.' The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham approached him and said, 'Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing--to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?' The Lord said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.'"
Abraham talks the Lord down to ten righteous people by the end of the passage before the Lord left for Sodom.
So here's my thought: How bold of Abraham to speak up! Good for him to say how he felt in the very presence of God! I feel like so many people these days are even scared to tell God how they feel without being face to face with Him and here Abraham looks Him square in the eyes and tells Him of his frustrations with God's decision. Can you imagine how Abraham felt walking away from God at that moment? He was probably shaking! He could've been scared, exhilarated, or at peace with the situation. Maybe Abraham felt confident enough with God after just having spent some time with Him, eating and talking with Him that he was perfectly calm talking to God in such a way, but I can't imagine his heart wasn't pounding throughout the conversation. Abraham does say a couple of times, "Don't be angry with me for speaking so boldly, but..." so I have to imagine he was still scared. And yet, look at the Lord's reaction. You can't really tell what tone of voice He used or what His face looked like, but I believe He was calm about it. He didn't seem angry at all during this whole repetitive conversation. He is a patient God.
So why are we so scared to tell Him how we feel? God clearly encourages us to express our feelings whether we're angry with God, sad about the way things turned out, or thrilled about what just happened. So I encourage you to talk to God as you would talk to anyone else close to you: your parents, siblings, spouse, or best friend. God will most likely handle it better than your loved one did so let it out! Don't hold it in! God will still love you the same after your venting as He did before...and that's quite a bit of love.

Keepin it alive
Hey to anybody that reads this!
I have not been on here for a while and that's because life got hectic. I'm 5 months pregnant and loving it even though I have many aches and pains. I know it's gonna get worse, but I'm trying to tough it out because there's nothing I can do about it. But I LOVE knowing I have a little baby in there growing constantly and moving around. My baby is facing backwards right now and my placenta's in front so I was told that I wouldn't feel him/her much. I maybe have felt 3 kicks but he/she definitely pushes on me on occasion and I adore that feeling just to know he/she's there. Throughout my pregnancy, I've been watching a weekly update about how big an average baby is that week and it's been fun to pull out the ruler and see the length and compare it to something on me just to know about how big he/she is. Unfortunately, he/she outgrew the 8-inch ruler and is now about to outgrow the 12-inch ruler so I won't be able to tell except to put the two rulers together I guess. Haha.
On another note, I got sick two weeks with just a cold. It started in my throat and worked its way up to my nose, stuffing it all up and then back down to just my throat. I have a lingering cough that's driving me crazy, but I've felt not sick for over a week now. Oh well, I'm just assuming my immune system is taking care of my baby better than me and I'm ok with that.
Thirdly, I have not been reading my Bible also because of the chaos going on. That's not an excuse, just the truth. I need to make time to read it more often. My husband found a Bible study that meets every two weeks and has 5 1/2 couples in it that are all about our stage of life from engaged to two children. There's even a lady who is due 11 days before me with her second child. They all were so nice and I enjoyed hearing about what they were reading in the Bible lately and what it meant to them. Then they talked about what's going on in their lives (good and bad) and gave out prayer requests. I'm not an outspoken person, but I'm in a great need of prayer right now so I spoke up my first time there. It was crazy to me that I said something. Haha.
That's another thing I want to mention. I have noticed how much less passive and more aggressive I've become in a good way. It's been going on for about a year, but it took up until a few months ago for me to realize it. I used to be super passive, never speaking up for myself or my friends and I've regretted so many things I wish I could go back and change, but they are what's helped me get to where I am now. If I had a friend that told me to save them a seat and somebody else sat there, I wouldn't have said anything. Now I do it instantly, not even a hesitation! That makes me happy. If there was a problem with my food at a restaurant, I wouldn't have said anything, but just dealt with it, but now I have no problem telling the server about it, in a nice way of course. :) I've realized so many instances like this where I would've been shy in the past, but I did something boldly instead. This has been the biggest highlight of realization.
So there you have it. My 3 month update. Now I better get to reading my Bible so I can write more about my findings! I hope you are encouraged today!

My best friend, Colin
Today I had to say goodbye to my favorite dog of my adulthood. His name was Colin and he was a Sheltie (or mini border collie) and was the coolest, smartest dog I know. I've never had a good memory so I don't remember what he looked like as a puppy beyond the picture I have, but I do remember the first trick I ever taught him. I believe my sister, Courtney was with me and we would point our index finger at him with our thumb up in the air and yell "BANG!" Then we flipped him over and told him to stay on his back. He did. Then we did it again and he did exactly what we'd just taught him. He played dead. As he got older, it took 3 shots to kill him. The first one he'd bark at, the second he'd lay down to, and the third he'd roll over for. :D I loved that. He's a tough dog.
I also won't forget how much of a loner he was, but he had some deep love for me. I don't know what I did to deserve that, but then again, how often do we deserve how well dogs treat us? He often laid alone away from everybody but always in sight and then out of the blue, with no prodding, he would come up to me and lick and lick and lick and smother my face with his furry body. That's how I knew he loved me. He's not much of a licker, but he would even whimper while he loved on me like he couldn't get enough. And when someone would come in the back door, he would get up from wherever he was and jump on me and bark at the door. He was my protector from the big bad step-dad or mom. And he wouldn't leave my lap until he knew who was in the house. I love him and will remember him forever. No pet will ever compare, but I know every animal has such a different personality so it's just like a child or friend.
Here's my biggest problem. I've had very few loved ones die. I think this is more a curse than a blessing because I take it harder when someone close dies, but it is what God wants it to be. My uncle died when I was 7 so that never effected me too terribly. My great grandmother died two weeks before my wedding and that was sad, but she didn't remember me much anyway her last couple of years. Other than that, it's been people from church that I knew but wasn't too close to. I cried a lot when my grandparents' dogs, Buster and Chance, went and when my two hamsters, Jaws and Henry, died it was pretty sad too. But Colin was different. I was much closer to him. At least I have tons of good memories and can't think of a single bad one right now. He was a good dog. So with a very heartfelt adieu and lots of tears in my eyes for the 3rd time since I heard the news at about 5:00 today, I leave you with my own memories of him. It was worth the 11 years we had with him. I love you with all my heart, Colin.

Oh, Happy Day!
I know I haven't been on in a while, but I haven't had much to say from the readings. Not that I haven't had many thoughts, just nothing I care to post cuz they're just questions. Anyway, what I really wanted to get on here to say is that MY HUSBAND GOT A JOB! We have been praying and praying and finally after 2 months, he was hired as a Security Guard at a museum. Thank you, God! He doesn't start until January 4th but at least it's coming. We just need to make due until then.
There has been a lot of happiness lately. My sister-in-law took me shopping as my Christmas present after I'd just been thinking to myself that I wish I had some new clothes. Then my friend gave my husband and I three candles and two gift cards to go out to eat. That was wonderful. I'm so tired of mac and cheese and hot dogs. Blah. I've also had quite a few patients at work give me either a card or a present. That is so sweet of them to think of me. Most of it is sugary foods, but at least they're thinking of me. I may go backwards on my inch-loss plan, but I will catch up. It hasn't helped that I dislocated my shoulder over the weekend so moving, let alone exercising, has been off my list of things to do. But my shoulder is much better now so I will be exercising soon. I did jog yesterday for a bit.
Anyway, I love Christmas more and more every year. I've even listened to Christmas music most of the month! That's not usually me cuz I get sick of hearing how many ways people can sing the same ol' songs. But this year I don't mind. Even my husband's getting into Christmas and he didn't get into it at all last year.
So that's the update for today! Thanks for reading!

Genesis 8: More on the flood
I'm still reading about the flood (I know, I know...still? Yes, still) and I had a deeper thought than just the questions that come from the reading. Noah and his family were on the ark for about one year. I didn't know that first of all. That's a long time to be on the ark. There are 8 of them and tons and tons of animals so... do you think their faith was tested through any of this? My first thought would be, how could they think anything less than how awesome God is when he saved them and nobody else from the flood, but sometimes my own faith is tested when I'm in a good place. I don't know why that is, but I'm sure it could happen for Noah's family too.
I love my family, don't get me wrong, but a whole year with them on a boat and no chance of going anywhere else? I hope for their sakes it was a big enough boat that they felt like they were getting away just to walk to the other end. Haha. And if you got in a fight with them, would you go to the stables and talk to the animals about it? Genesis never says what happens on the boat through that year. I hope none of the wives got pregnant at that time.
And then there could be a conflict with God. I would get so restless being on the ark for that long and never seeing ground or even mountains. Just lots and lots of water. And then the Bible says that 5 months after the rain started, the flood receded enough that the ark rested on a mountain. Now, I don't know if it stayed there and if it didn't how long it did stay there, but they didn't get off that ark until the land was completely dry and God told them to get off. I personally would want to run off the ark screaming, throw myself to the ground and kiss it over and over again when the dove brought back the olive branch...but they just waited for God's ok. Wow! That's commitment and trust. I hope I can be in that kind of relationship with God some day.
How's your relationship with Him? Could you wait an entire year for the floods to go down and the ground to dry up before you left the ark? Could you keep waiting 3 months after you see signs of a dry ground before you just walked out of there saying "Sayonara!" and praying you never see another ark again? Or could you patiently wait for God's ok? I know I have a hard time waiting for God to do something for longer than a week, let alone a year. But that may just be me.

How's your relationship with Him? Could you wait an entire year for the floods to go down and the ground to dry up before you left the ark? Could you keep waiting 3 months after you see signs of a dry ground before you just walked out of there saying "Sayonara!" and praying you never see another ark again? Or could you patiently wait for God's ok? I know I have a hard time waiting for God to do something for longer than a week, let alone a year. But that may just be me.
