Me at present

So I can't sleep. What better thing to do than write? Now I will try to pen down some of the ramblings plaguing my head at the moment.
In the morning I have a meeting with my boss for a job I have working at a church. I'm stepping down from my current position. I'm wondering how it's all going to boil over. I love the church, well I love the people at the church, but the position isn't working. I'm sure it will be fine. I just don't like conflict. On the subject of religion, it's interesting how church politics go sometimes. Really, I think the church today has lost so much relevancy it's no wonder people are so turned off by it. We seem to be missing the point of our Faith entirely, which is love. There's a great song out there that states, "they will know we are Christians by our love", not by our condescension, or hate, or passivity, but by our LOVE. How can we miss this so often?
Thoughts?

And Danny and I are thinking about starting our family! Yay! We'll see what happens. No rush of course!



Well, that's all I can come up with right now so I think I will leave you and try to go to bed (now that pain meds. for a lovely headache have kicked in).
goodnight!

My grandma says the biggest hypocrites are the ones that go to church every Sunday. She's full of stuff like that. I learn something new every time we lunch together.

Well, I want to be one of the first to know when you're pregnant. Can't wait!!! :-)

Yes, that is very true. I've heard lots of things about your grandmother. I'm sure conversations are always interesting!

You will certainly be one of the first to know when a baby's on the way!

Congrats! I know what you mean about the "backwards thing." Be patient, God's timing is best, although it can be very difficult. We have some friends that are pregnant with the first child (due in December) and they had been trying to start a family for over a year! But it finally happened for them and I'm sure it is sweeter for them now than it may have been if it happened right away. Unfortunately, some of our other friends just had their 2nd miscarriage. They are heartbroken but they are not giving up. We will pray that nothing like that happens you guys! It's a terrible thing that I wish no one had to experience.

Just gotta say that moving with a baby or pregnant is really hard. Ask Nick and Corinne....they did it. Let's get you moved down here and then get you preggo. Then I can be there for the hormonal roller coaster!!

Elanor said...

Hm, yes, patience is a virtue. And believe me, I will be patient. God's timing is always perfect. So whether we get pregnant now, a year from now, or five years from now, I know I can trust God. It's just exciting to be in a place where we feel ready for a family.
As I said before, only time will tell, and I hope to share the experience with all of you, whether We're all in the same state (or several different ones)!

And hey! Did Nick and Corinne move out of Durango, or just to another house? Crazy if they left! I had no idea.

Jennifer said...

They moved across town, like from Edgemont to next to Ann. Corinne said it was one of the worse things they did, and she didn't plan on doing it again. I can only imagine cross country!!

Elanor said...

Oh Okay. I knew that. Crazy. Yeah I know a couple of people who moved to a new town like the WEEK after their baby was born! That's insane. It would be difficult for sure and it may work out that I don't get preggo until we get there, and that would be great! At this point, I'm not stressing about it. It'll happen when it happens.

Hey when's the next blog? It's been awhile.....hehe
