Beliefs
Lately I've been thinking hard about what it means to be a Christian, especially in today's world. It's tough. If you think for a minute it's easy, you are kidding yourself.
The world throws messages at us all day. About what to think. What to eat, what to wear, and what to watch. About what to do. And even about what to believe and take as truth.
I have to wonder if I went around asking people, "Are you Christian?" how many would say yes. And then if asked "Why are you Christian?" would answer because I believe in Jesus.
So does that make you a Christian? And who is this Jesus that you believe in?
In the same way that I may believe in the devil, it doesn't make me a devil worshiper.
So who is it that we believe in? Who is this Jesus? What is He like? And what does He demand of us? Yes, I use the word demand because He does demand certain things of His people. This is the question that really speaks to me. This is the question we should all want to answer.
This is where being a Christian calls us to put in the hard work and to study, and wrestle, and learn the word of God (the bible). For how can we truly know who God is without studying and learning his word. We cannot simply go by what the world tells us about Him, we need to learn it for ourselves. For how can we be expected to share about Him if we don't know it ourselves.
How can we know how to love? How to worship? How to treat our friends? Our family? Or our co-workers. How to handle money? And enemies?
When I open my bible, all the answers are before me. It is my job to learn them.

Weekend Recap
What a great weekend! Blessings everywhere. The weather was beautiful Saturday, and we were able to get outside and get a hike in. We found a new area to explore not far from our house. We ended up hiking for an hour and a half, and were able to take Gibson along!
Here he is after the hike on the car ride home. Passed out! Cute little guy.
In other exciting news, we finished our entry way organizer system! A big shout out to my Mr. who really put a lot of time into this. I helped, mostly with the staining work. But we built this from scratch using plans from Ana White's blog! We just hung it up this afternoon. Next up, having fun decorating it!
I hope your weekend has treated you just as GrEat!

Weekend
My dearest and I don't really get all into the Valentine's Day stuff. We think it's really something just fun for kids to celebrate, and that Hallmark truly invented it.
My thoughts are that I don't need one day to remind my man of what he does everyday! I am one lucky girl that my husband declares his love to me each day.
While we might seem all grinch-like, I'll have you know we will go out to a fun dinner tonight (just so we don't have to cook:))!
ps I also made cupcakes for my husband to bring to work!

Favorites of the Moment: Cardigans, Early Grey and ...
Fav piece of clothing: the cardigan. My go to piece. Can work with work outfits or cute casual pieceFav hot beverage: Earl Grey Latte (from Sbucks). Just the right amount of sweetness, low on calories, and half the amount of caffeine found in coffee. Cool fact: Bergamot (flavour found in earl grey) is a lime tree that is grown in Italy and the South of France and its fruit gives Earl Grey a light spicy flavour. ***another reason I must go to Italy
Fav Song: April Smith - Colors and Amos Lee - Windows are Rolled Down (can't wait till it's warm enough to do that again!)
Fav Morning Reading: The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor Writer's Almanac
Fav Pass Time: The Mr. and I play Little Big Planet 2 in the evenings, and laughing hard as we fly around and change our costumes up
Fav Exercise: Still spinnnnn class. You'd think it might get old, but oh no. It's not. It's still hot in my book.
Fav Book: The Dirty Life - all about a journalist who abandons her NYC heels for farm life
What are some of your favorite things as of late???

The Mind Plays Tricks
My mind played a trick on me last night. It tried to convince me that I was in a funk, and not contributing enough. It tried to tangle me in a web of doubt.
Do you ever have moments like this? I know this chapter in life is about building foundations. But sometimes when I'm not looking the little thorns of the world try to stab me and prick me with feelings of impatience. I have to remain steady at the helm.
My Grateful List:
1. For my amazing husband
2. For being able to have delicious food on the table every night
3. For the opportunity to teach our young girls class at church
4. For getting to visit with good friends this weekend
5. For a warm office, friendly colleagues, and challenging work
6. For a God who takes me as I am

Hi, pretty little things
Hi! You pretty little things, it's Friday! Yay! I still get quite the thrill over this simple day of the week. What have you been up to lately?
This week was made up of visits, goals for the future, and lots of lotion to sooth dry hands. It's the little things again, see.
I'm ready for the full on sunshine of the south to come back. But until it does, I'm heading down to FL to meet up with my two best college girls next weekend! Woot!

Hello Dear Blog
 |
| December 13th 2010 |
It's 2011. Twenty-eleven! Yes, it's true. We had quite the journey over Christmas break. We started with a road trip up to Chicago, enjoyed the snowy climate, a trip to the emergency vet, and a road trip down to Middle TN. After that I loved being home for the remainder of 2010 leading up the the new year.
Last year was a wonderful one. I have so much to be grateful for. Health, family, friends, a church to call home, rewarding work, and the list goes on. I am so thankful for my own little family, all three of us (the Mr., Gibson, and myself). I can't imagine my life without those two. There was something so great about celebrating our 2nd Christmas together as husband and wife. To enjoy our own traditions for a 2nd year in a row. To know where the Christmas tree would go, and all the little memories we had as we took things out of storage.
I'm looking forward to 2011 to cultivate more. More in my relationships, more in creativity, more in God, and more in life. This year is about cultivating the foundation.
It's good to be here.
I hope you and yours had a sparkling holiday season, and are full of hope for 2011.
Always an Em

Gratefulness
Thanksgiving is upon us! It's hard to believe it's here.
I've been thinking about what I'm thankful for lately. Just spending a few moments in self reflection, thinking about all the little things adding up to that make my life so great. The word great doesn't do what I'm trying to describe justice. My life feels peaceful, joyous, and with just the right of challenge.
I read today that "Gratefulness is thankfulness in action." I like that statement. For a feeling with action is just well, a feeling.
From here till Thanksgiving I'm going to show my gratefulness to those around me and give them a glimpse of how Thankful I really am.

1 year
It's getting darker outside.
Darkness, like a warm winter comforter stretches itself slowly across the sky. Blanketing the night, I can no longer see the mountains on the horizon. It's bitter sweet. Waking up to the slanting light but by dinner no sign of the dawn.
We traveled to New York City for our 1 year anniversary. Central Park was gorgeous, a date at the art museum was cozy, and ice skating in Rockefeller Plaza at midnight was well...unforgettable.
It was the Mr.'s first time ice skating. So that made it extra special. I loved watching as he would observe the skaters, seeing how they balanced and shifted their weight from foot to foot. I loved watching him gradually become more comfortable until he let go and thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of gliding on ice. And I especially loved when he became comfortable enough to let us hold hands.
Snapshots of trip:
Our days of adventure in the city marked us with chilly hands, but warm hearts. That city is magical at night.
Thank you to my Mr. for making life so grand. Here's to a great start, our 1 year, and here's to the many more to come.

Be Still and Still Moving
Our world is fast, crazy, sporadic jolts of information, noise, and beauty. I translate one language to another instantly, breathlessly. Deciphering email, to google, to letters, excel, to human to heart. How does the mind keep up?
Sometimes when it's quiet there is a part of me inside that echoes "you were made for this." For the stillness. I was not made for the noisy, clamorous, clanging world. Often what is seen as my dramatic reactions to loud noises is actually my inner musician proclaiming to the world to turn off the bass drum.
T.S. Eliot touches on this in his poem East Coker part V.
TS (I'm taking a chance calling him that) perfectly describes that dichotomy of life. I must be able to carry that quiet, content peace with me as I'm moving, juggling, and seeking in this often cacophonous, slightly out-of-tune symphony directed by Life. Again...
This practice of being still and still moving is probably one of my life's works in progress. To walk in a way that wherever I go I'm still inside. Just think about what that really means. To not be shaken? To have contentment beyond what you see? How do you remain still inside amongst such a loud world? I find hope in that as I become better at being still the world will become just another instrument for me to harmonize with.
...interesting enough the bible talks in detail about being still and knowing that He is God. Sounds like humans have been working at and pondering this for ages.

Here and there does not matter We must be still and still moving <---(He really gets it right here) Into another intensity For a further union, a deeper communion

Spinning
The Mr. and I have recently discovered the art of spinning. No, not spinning in circles from our busy schedule, but spinning as in cycling.
Prior to the last few weeks, spin class always seemed to be that intimidating beast that hides in the dark cave of the gym. A place where only real warriors with courage would go to slay the dragon. But one day, the Mr. spotted that little entry on the gym calendar "Spin Class" and beckoned for us to venture into this land of the unknown. Gathering up courage and gusto, with a cute pair of running shorts we wandered into this new territory.
Ever since then, we've been teasing our athletic appetites with this class. We've found gears we didn't know existed and a gazillion ways to hold the handlebars. And above all else, we found we actually liked it. Averaging between 15 - 25 miles per class, spin requires our focus, balance, and use of a whole lot of leg and will power. Slowly but surely we caught on, despite that we didn't wear the spandex and probably never will.
As tired as we feel after class, we keep going back for more. Endlessly spinning our legs in circles, until they feel as if they are about to fall off. We quickly forget about the agony of the 5 minute sprints and stare at the neon calendar hanging on the fridge looking for the next class we can make.
There in the darker cave of the gym, I adjust my seats and handlebars and hop on the bike ready to take on another personal challenge. I warm up early. The Mr. arriving a few minutes later makes a game out of trying to catch up to my mileage. Even though his legs are twice the length of mine, I still got game. My body aches, but it's the kind of ache that lets you know you've worked. You've finished. And that dinner is a well earned prize at the end of the night.
And while I may not be going into any dark caves to slay dragons anytime soon, I know that spin class is a monster I have strength to overcome.
As the class comes to an end and we fall off our bikes and take our spaghetti legs home, I'm reminded and thankful I have someone to share the rewarding homemade meal with as well as the personal victory.
We are mad spinners.

Thinking About...
Lately I've been day dreaming about...
The quote from Alice in Wonderland
The changing Fall leaves and the beauty around us.
What Central Park will look like in November...
The quote from Alice in Wonderland
“There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
We have to imagine the impossible
The changing Fall leaves and the beauty around us.
What Central Park will look like in November...

What defines Love?
What defines Love?
How do you show love to your husband or wife? How does a child demonstrate love toward their parents?
Is it merely belief?
Taking this one step further, how do I demonstrate my love for Christ?
What if I told my husband I just believe that I love you, would that be enough?
My love for my husband is not merely defined by my belief, in that I love him, but more so by my obedience in my love. You're probably saying wait a moment - but obedience is not just subordination, it's an attitude of the heart. My obedience is (attitude of my heart) in talking with him daily, respecting, spending time together, cultivating new interests, listening...the list goes on.
And the second example, a child to a parent demonstrates love by following directions, showing respect, listening, and in general being obedient...
The bible tells us that we demonstrate love for Christ in these same ways. It is not enough to just say "I believe in Him." The bible urges us to follow his commandments, and in following His commandments we demonstrate the ultimate Love - obedience. God knows we have a choice, that is free will to choose how we conduct ourselves daily. But in Love for Him we choose to follow him with obedience.
Repeatedly we are told to Love the Lord:
Luke 10:27 (New International Version)
27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself."
Matthew 22:37
37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
And again in Mark
Mark 12:30
30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
Mark 12: 28 - 30
28One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
29"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
So how do you show Love to the Lord?
Joshua 22:5
5 ...keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul."
John 14:23
23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
John 15:10
10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
Matthew 19:17
17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."
This kind of attitude of the heart is something I have to work at everyday. It's not easy, the selfish, the I, wants to be first. But this type of love is worth working for.
In the end, we are doing His will or we aren't. There is no in between. And we can see examples from the bible that show us the consequences our decisions.
When we are obedient to the word and show our love, God's love is made complete as seen in 1 John 2:5-6 below.
1 John 2:5-6
5But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
So what are these commandments He asks us to obey? What did Jesus' walk look like?
How do you show love to your husband or wife? How does a child demonstrate love toward their parents?

8 Things: Savannah
The Mr. and I just returned from our wonderful vacation in Savannah, GA. It was **absolutley!!** amazing! We really fell in love with that little city.
1. We walked everywhere all the time. From square to square and secret garden to historic home, hand in hand.
2. The trees are gorgeous. Long oak branches provide a frame for the city. It's as if everywhere you look you are seeing fountains, dogs, and buildings decoupaged by sweeping limbs.
3. The food is delectable. After walking miles all day we certainly rewarded ourselves with decedent meals in little pubs and grandiose homes throughout the city.
4. Dog haven. Savannah loves dogs, and therefore we loved Savannah. There were too many restaurants to count that allowed Fido to come and sit on the patio. Gibson made friends at each corner tree.
5. Charm is Savannah's middle name. Around each corner we discovered a new treasure, perhaps another square with a fountain that the city dwellers basked in when the mercury levels shot up to 99, or the square faces of lions that were actually drain spouts on homes from the 1900s. We got lost in this cities charm.
to be continued...

4. Dog haven. Savannah loves dogs, and therefore we loved Savannah. There were too many restaurants to count that allowed Fido to come and sit on the patio. Gibson made friends at each corner tree.
5. Charm is Savannah's middle name. Around each corner we discovered a new treasure, perhaps another square with a fountain that the city dwellers basked in when the mercury levels shot up to 99, or the square faces of lions that were actually drain spouts on homes from the 1900s. We got lost in this cities charm.
