Today, Tomorrow

Maybe that's an odd title for a blogpost, but I was drawing a blank and that's what I'm going to talk about, so... :D

Today I'm kinda proud of myself. For snacks today I've had two bananas and a box of grapes, and at the moment, despite my nearly irresistible craving for either cookie dough (which we don't have in the house) or a spoon of peanut butter (which we *always* have in the house!), I'm eating an apple. The real shocker of the day, though, is that I ate broccoli at lunch. And I got seconds. And yes, I smothered it in hot sauce (don't like Ranch dressing!). But I ate it! :D OK, so only the people who really know me know what a big deal all of that is. I guess I'll move on now...

Tomorrow--now, I'm very excited and a little nervous about tomorrow. We're going to spend most of the day at the Astles' house, hanging out with them. We'll get to meet the youngest Astle, little Christopher who was born last October. That's the part I'm just excited about.
The part I'm excited but also a little nervous about is the fact that I'll be recording new (and better!) demos for a couple of mine and Raluca's songs (Dancing in the Rain and Love Did, in case anyone wanted to know). Mr. Astle has professional recording equipment and is so kindly going to help me create better, more professionally mixed demos. And I know it's going to be fun and exciting and all, but I'm just kinda nervous about it. So right now I'm listening to the soundtracks over and over and over (good thing I never get tired of them! :D) and printing the words off because although I wrote them, I'm still likely to forget them tomorrow!

Well, I'm going to practice them a couple times through and then head for bed. We're leaving relatively early in the morning (early for us, anyway) and I need to make sure I get plenty of sleep.
Y'all have a blessed weekend! Oh...and don't forget to check on Stellan, who is still in the hospital and still in SVT, and Jonah, who is also still in the hospital but should be going home on Monday.

Sex & "the good Christian single"

 Yep. Buckle up, we're going there. This post might get a little uncomfortable, but it's a topic that can't exactly be ignored! And, as I said at the beginning of this little "series" earlier this year, "my goal is to be uncomfortably honest, vulnerable, real, raw." Besides, the world is talking about sex all the time , and if we as Jesus-followers don't talk about it from a Jesus-perspective, the world is going to shape the views and opinions of sex for an entire generation. Or two. Or more.  Let's start with some basic statements just for the sake of clarity: 1. Sex is God's idea, and it is good.  All through the Bible, from Adam & Eve being "naked & unashamed" in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2), to the graphic love poetry of Song of Solomon, to Paul exhorting husbands and wives to freely share their bodies with one another in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible paints a picture of sex within marriage being good, beautiful, encourag...

Six Flags!

Some would no doubt consider it a strange "Sabbath kick-off", but for me a trip to Six Flags Over Texas (in Arlington) was just the ticket! Between my love of roller coasters, the nostalgia this place holds, and the healthy benefits of fresh air and sunshine, it was fantastic. Oh, and the company was pretty great, too. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have my "OG Six Flags fam" along--aka, my family and the Vests, of course! Six Flags has always been about facing and overcoming fear for me. I was a very fearful/timid child, and as an adult looking back I think one of the best things my parents did for my little anxious self was take me to ride roller coasters!! (I would insert the "tears of joy" emoji here if I could!) I was coaxed and cajoled on to rides I was hesitant about, but never forced to ride anything--though I waited in every line with them and I was not allowed to complain. Every year, there were rides where ...

oh, look! it's a blog!

I really thought I was going to do better at blogging this month. Ha! I have a post in my drafts section that I started two weeks ago, but there it sits. It's going to require more time and thought to finish than I have at this moment, so it will have to wait. However, it IS going to get finished and posted at some point! :) Today, for most of the day it's just Jonathan and I here at home. Weird, huh? Daddy, Micah, and Josiah are at a men's retreat/camp-out with the church, and Momma had to work today. So, Jonathan and I are hanging out (read: cleaning house and putting the new sheets on the beds and icing cupcakes :) ). This evening, there is a "praise for pro-life" thing at a church here in Springtown that we're planning to go to. It's a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. (October 24, 6 pm, Outreach of Love church on Hwy 199 in Springtown, admission is a baby bottle full of change...just in case anyone wanted to know!) Tomorrow after church, we're ha...
