2024


 Here we are... Happy New Year!! So, what are your resolutions and goals for 2024? Ill tell you mine... none. Ive been wondering what is wrong with me so I googled "What does it mean if you have no goals or dreams" Diagnosis...lacking motivation and unambitious. Interesting. I get up every day and work 12-16 hours a day usually 7 days a week to keep things going yet I have lack of motivation and unambitious. Hmmm. Another diagnosis was lack of purpose, ok I might get on board with that one. I have been asking God my whole life what my purpose is and why am I here. I have felt the answer a few times and things seem to explode while I was doing it. So, that cant be right. I get doors close and and another one opens but how many have to shut before you figure out what your supposed to do with your life? Whats the purpose in finding it right before your life ends...why cant we spend our whole lives doing our purpose our mission before final resting and the words "good job my good and faithful servant". Its messy to go through life not knowing who you are or why your here and maybe things would be better off without you its not like your contributing anything anyway. At one point I wanted to be a dr so I could cure cancer, but I became a drug addict then mother so life took a different turn. Another time when I had my restaurant, I thought I could feed the hungry and solve world hunger...maybe be the best Martha Stewert and homeschool my kids while feeding the world and becoming the best chef. At one point do mission work all over the world I thought I could be in ministry fulfilling my purpose of feeding the world, caring for the world with my dr role I never achieved then maybe build everyone a house so they never slept outside again. I could put on concerts and give people hope through Gods music but then again Im stage fright and cant sing so theres that. I could be a HGTV star and inspire people on a budget on how to make things better and brighter in the homes they have, but then my husband told me everything I did was copied and my dad says everything I do is stupid and nobody likes what I like so theres that. Maybe I could be a writer and help people with motivation and life, oh wait my life is a trainwreck so probably need to find a new idea. Definitely not love, marriage or raising kids, we all know how that turned out. LOL.  Another google answer suggest a lack of exposure to different opportunities....Im pretty sure Im one of the luckiest people on this planet when it comes to this. I have traveled all over the world learning culture and life, I really dont feel like Im lacking in any experiences but maybe I am and just dont know it. Another suggestion is lack of support from family or society....ok now we are getting somewhere. Thanks google for diagnosing my issues and believe me I am not typing this with a straight face for writing that. I am laughing so hard Im losing where I was going with all of this. It is possible Ive been shut down so many times on ideas and dreams and goals of things I thought would be amazing that I shut down my internal factory. I have lost me somewhere along the way and became a robot to whatever my family thought I needed to be. I cant say the results have been good. Im exhausted in every way and just beat down to a point that Im not sure getting back up is worth fighting for. I have everything right so why waste time being unfulfilled and have purpose when I can just check tasks off my list for someone elses agenda to keep the peace. Where is my voice? What is my purpose? What happened to me and how do I get myself back? I guess only google knows, but Ill have to save that therapy for another day because a tile job is waiting on me and people need to move in. Always waiting on me...must be my lack of motivation. What are your goals and dreams? I would love to hear them...

Hillsong

 I came across Hillsong music around 1997. I was 17 , just lost my grandfather the most precious person to me and with my heart full of "why Gods", there is just something about Hillsong music that brings me to my knees. This music has been with me through the hardest moments in my life ever since. I had no idea it was a church or school until recently. I have every CD (for those that know what that is haha) and they have been played over and over that Ive had to rebuy them. Now I have Hillsong music on pandora so it plays through my car. I can scream it at the top of my lungs on a good day or say nothing at all on a bad day. Last week I accidently stumbled across the documentary so I watched it. I learned alot. I had no idea any of that had gone on to be honest. I didnt know what to think or say so I took a couple days to process. I have said this before in past post about putting people in the church on pedestals. Yes, I have also been hurt on more than one occasion from mu...

PK

So I have a disheartning confession...Im a plant killer (boo). My mother calls me PK (not joking). Its super frustrating to be so passionate about something and be so bad at it. Every year I spend hundreds of dollars on plants, seeds, soil only to kill everything within months sometimes weeks. I research, I plan, I study and nothing. I can buy garden vegetable plants from the store and keep the plants alive but cant get them produce. Ive tried indoor gardening with lights, container gardening, in ground gardening and raised bed gardening with all the same results. I feel like I have even blogged all this trauma before now that I think about it because it s yearly disappointment. I can grow seeds into pods and give them away because I have so many then kill the plants I keep. What gives? I will tell you about 15 years ago I lived on a farm and had the most amazing garden EVER!! I also had the most amazing father in law that tended to it everyday. I had fruit trees and a blackberry garde...

"Simpsons vs Flanders"

The last blog post was about being seen differently by people and not acting the way of the world. I have been mocked a couple times by the way I have chosen my life and Im ok with that, but my heart keeps telling me theres more to say. Its the wierdest thing to have your heart pulled and tugged for what has been on my mind, but the only way to put it to rest is to write it out. The podcast of life church was a series "from this day forward" learning five principles for marriage. I will use the same quote as before, it just got to me,"If you want to have a different marriage and family than everyone else, then you have to do things differently than everyone else". It really is a very powerful statement. We do have rules in our marriage and home that most people think is ridiculous and most of the time my husband thinks they are ridiculous, but weve been married before and you all know how that worked out so, if we want a different marriage, we will have to do differ...
