Never Bored Again!

Today we had our Internet installed. 
AND we got lucky because the man who installed it only had a modem and wireless router combo left..woo baby! So we have wireless, too. Boy howdy.

Suddenly, I have a list of things to do: take pictures of books to sell, post them online, and attempt to sell them, blog about all of this-happening now (these are real time updates, people!), check Twitter (I could do that on my phone, too, but I have Internet AT MY HOME now), look up "recipes for those on a budget," and search "how to use coupons," again.

Is it just me or are coupons so confusing and overwhelming?! I guess they just haven't 'clicked' for me yet.  Thus, the research ensues.  <<Stay tuned for my couponing update>> (That's for you, Sarah).

Well, with all this interweb at the tip of my fingers-wherever I want it in the household-not just confined to the desk-whenever I want it-not just at the DTS library-I will never be bored again!!

I decided I really haven't been bored, even without Internet.  I think I realized this yesterday when I had a full and productive day.  I spent time with God, a lot of time, and I felt refreshed and renewed, got my chicken marinating for dinner, finished reading the book, Radical, which everyone else should read as well (told you I would recommend it again), and worked on some VERY late thank-you cards.  What is boredom, anyway? I think it is me being lazy and unresourceful.  I don't like me being that way.

So maybe it is true (hopefully) that I'll never be bored again.  That's a new goal of mine.  

Can't wait to surprise my hubby when he comes home from class with my first blog post written from our couch. He might be more excited for wi-fi, but I can guess that he'll still be happy for me.  We might even surf the web together.

from humbled hands,

Breastfeeding Chronicles, Part 2

So humbled by everyone's response and prayers. All of you can help spread the word about lip and tongue tie to those you know. Two days ago I went to the Lactation Care Center and my suspicions about both Cora's weight gain and her lip tie were confirmed. She had only gained under 6 oz in 15 days. Not good. And she is hungry, but my milk supply was withering. My lactation consultant said that she does, in fact, have at least a lip tie, if not both lip and tongue as well as a moderately high palette. See, when a baby latches improperly and doesn't empty the breast completely you stop producing as much milk. At this point a good latch and transfer of milk is difficult because of her anatomy. We got set up with an electric double pump yesterday and we are both trying to build up my supply and get her what she needs. This is the process: I offer both breasts, then pump both breasts and then give her the expressed milk in a bottle. My supply is already increasing and I have even...

Coffee Shop Encouragement

While we were sitting in a coffee shop in Shingle Springs, CA working on mail chimp, reading church planting books and taking notes, we met Barry and Jerri. They'd been up and down, on the phone and in intense conversations when Barry popped over to our table to see what we were working on.  "We love Jesus and He's called us to Utah to tell people about Him," I shared. "Do you know Jesus?" I asked.  "Yes! Oh, do we!" He resounded.  They had grown up in Southern California during the Jesus Movement and had followed Him closely ever since. As a gardener, he knows a thing or two about cultivating and climates, not so different from a relationship with Jesus and navigating these days. Currently, they are working on a solution for her mom's living situation as age and medical concerns have caused a need for change.  We prayed for each other and encouraged each other and thanked God for being with us through all of life's ups and downs. As they l...

Looking to Jesus

I have this problem. Generally, its called sin. Specifically, its called believing false things about myself and my Lord and Savior.  I picture it as looking at things other than Jesus. My eyes often stray from Him, the founder and perfecter of my faith, to, say, lies of the Enemy.  Lately these lies have been debilitating.  When my eyes shift, things become disproportionate.  My perspective becomes distorted. I look at myself as a failure. I believe that lie. Then I begin to wrench my neck around to see more.  I see my situation as hopeless.  I believe that lie.  I take a step to turn myself around so I can get a better picture of what else I am supposed to see. I am already walking the other direction when I realize how low and discouraged I have become.  My head is down.  All I can see are lies.  Only darkness.  Everything feels heavy and unbearable. We can't do it on our own.  Thankfully, Jesus doesn't let us.  He is...
