I am a mom but I am not a mommy blogger. I want to be but things in my life that are seemingly funny or entertaining to those around me get pushed to the side when my passion for the Church and Jesus and all that stuff get swept to the forefront. One of the greatest things of this time off for me has been the ability to let go and let God regarding the church. In the last few months I have worried a little and ranted some but generally let go of the trials and tribulations our church has felt. It’s been a much needed break for me and I had to admit when I realized this morning that less than a month from now I’d be writing sermons and thinking about the church at large again I got a little sad. I love vacation!
I do of course love my work and will definitely enjoy it when I go back but I still have a month to go of course and I will be embracing every moment of freedom from responsibility and thinking. Enter: Dinosaur vs. the potty. One of the things that I have truly enjoyed over this break has been reading absolute garbage. I love light, fluffy novels and magazines. I look at pictures of food, read happy love stories and have embraced those things with absolute abandon when given the time. This has meant a lot of time spent at places where books are sold and one of those places introduced me to Dinosaur. I love Dinosaur, my son does not. It is a book for 2-6 year olds and I love it. I love it because my son is Dinosaur. He is currently waging war against potty and I’m sad to say right now potty is not winning. This book makes me laugh and helps me to see the lighter moments of potty warfare.
What does this have to do with the price of fish? Nothing really. The thing is I’ve been doing some experimenting. I’m trying to figure out what to write about, what to discuss. I wrote a post yesterday I wasn’t overly thrilled with but my husband made me post {as a loving husband would} as I was trying something different and he said different isn’t necessarily bad. I have written other things that never even make it through the draft. What should I write? What is most interesting to think about? Would everyone just rather read about food?
Ultimately this blog is about me, my journeys in faith and in food {with some family thrown in}. I’ll likely toss this experimentation phase and just go back to the way things were with rants, dreams and delicious food. Whatever happens I hope you enjoy what this fall has to bring. I know I’m looking forward to seeing where this journey called life takes me next.
