Best of times, worst of times...

So today's writing prompt included a challenge to do a vlog, a video blog. 



The question was "How long have you been married, and which years were the best and hardest?"

    Your vlog made me cry. Thank you for your example of love and grace and forgiveness. You're right...collateral damage...it's not personal, and yet, you are still hurt by it. I am thankful that you are learning how to balance grace and love and distance as well so that you can heal.

    Thank you for being brave enough to try a vlog...I haven't done one yet, but I'd like to try one now. But even more than that, thank you for sharing the testimony of how God has/is working in your life and marriage. Amazing!

    Such a good vlog. I too have wanted to get into vlogging but never seem to have the time. Plus anytime I try one my 1 year old decides the tripod is her new toy!

    Wow, you are very brave to speak so openly of your trials and to do it by vlog. I'm not sure I could. Its easier as you said to write the words than to speak them to total strangers. Thank you for sharing! Visiting from Mama Kat's!

    I liked the vlog. Although some of it I think you didn't give credit where credit is due, I think putting yourself out there is awesome. I want to get into the vlogging thing but I just haven't arrived there yet.

      Thanks. I was really nervous at first and now I am loving Vlogging. I am doing a vlog challenge.. it has 15 ideas for entries. You can try it by using Youtube to record straight from your computer.. you can edit it.. and when you feel ready you can make public for others to see.

"Have a New Husband by Friday"

Image
I decided to take Abbie to the bookstore a little over a week ago, on Friday September 21st. I was in hope of finding some book series that I could get her to read that would spark a love of reading. I naturally do not have a love for reading but rather lothe it.  When I was growing up I had several issues with reading and never truly felt sucked into a book like I would hear other describe. The star wars book were a huge solution to my parents struggle to get my oldest brother to read. He founds something he connected with and had a passion for. I want that for Abbie. We picked her up a book about a mermaid. We have yet to start it due to the chapter books she has to read for school. I am hoping to get back into the rhythm of things at home. I also decided that it is important for her to see me reading more, if I want her to read. I love reading the Bible and get so much from it but if faking a passion for reading would help her it is worth it. It might also teach me more discipli...

I Could Have Just Died (Most Embarrassing Moment)

Image
I haven't done a writing prompt from Mama Kat's Workshop, so when I saw that one of the prompts was to tell an embarrassing story I thought I just had to share. Hopefully, this will lift your day as it usually seems to get a good chuckle out of my friends and family. I don't usually embarrass easily, I contribute it to the fact that I am silly and usually like to do weird things. I have also stated that I like to be completely honest with people. There is a kind of freedom that comes with transparency. The day seemed like any other. We had gone to my mother in laws house to pick up Abbie, she was only a couple years old at the time. Any trip to my mother in laws house is not a quick one, and usually I don't mind it. I went and sat on her front porch to "catch some fresh air", which was my code for smoking a cigarette. (I am so glad that I am finally free from that addiction.) As I sat there I noticed how beautiful it was outside. The sun was shining but...

How NOT to Impress a Crush (Most Embarrassing Moment Part 2)

Image
I recently did a post on my most embarrassing moment inspired by Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop. After writing it I had comments asking me to share the other embarrassing moment that I had mentioned in the other post. So here it goes... It was pretty bad.  During my sophomore year of high school there was a guy in my home room that I had a crush on. He was handsome, was in a band, and was funny. We shared the same group of friends. One night his parents were out of town and he was having a pool party at his house after his band preformed. It was going to be the coolest event. When we got there he showed all of the girls where we could go to change into our swim suits. I had the chance to change and joined everyone at the pool. It was the most fun time. Time went so quickly and soon I had to run before I missed my curfew. I threw my clothes on over my swimsuit, jumped in my car, and got home. I had a strange feeling that I had forgotten something but quickly dismissed it.   ...
