So i haven’t had a chance to update as much as i would like to lately but hopefully i will do better. most of these are in taken in this past weekend and all in the past few moths. Linds and i just hit the one year mark this past weekend big stuff ! I am excited for more.
So fishing is just one of a few things in this life so far that i really have and continue to enjoy. Most of the time i just go somewhere and sit throw back some lines, maybe read a book, maybe just soak in the day. Yesterday i went down to my parents to fish and release my Ducks… and pulled the first bass of the seaon so i ran into my mom to have the pic. 
Thanks to Doug and Lindsey for being the first to bring gifts for Fetus Wilder.
to my husband who recognizes that everyday of nursing school is a battle…. and he does something about it. i hope he knows that i appreciate him for the little things that he does like one day the dishes… or he’ll make the bed when he knows i will come home from opening at starbuck’s exhausted. thank you for making my life less stressful. thank you for your effort my love! and just to tease him a tiny bit… WHO LEAVES DEAD FISH LAYING IN A BAG ON THE GROUND FOR A WHOLE ENTIRE DAY…. YUCK. EW. GROSS. (i wish you were all here to smell it with me. blah.) you’re cute doug pierce!
So these are our neighbors and friends.
I am very excited to celebrate our 3rd Valentines Day together… and our 1st one married. A day to celebrate love! First of all i’d like to say that my husband is the most thoughtful, loving, and hardworking man on this earth. I love him very much and am excited to spend this day with him and hopefully be blessed with many other days like this. Second of all I’d like to say that everyday should be treated like Valentines day… an emphasis on loving one another and blessing each other. On holidays people have a certain spark about them, a change in heart. There is warmth from hearts that have never had warmth in them before. You see families eating at the same table, and wives showing love to their husbands they have been fighting with for years. Generosity is shown and the spark is contagious. I can imagine a server getting a great tip and positive people at work and going to the grocery store on the way home. I see her finding herself looking for someone to help out to the car with a handful of groceries and picking up a can of beans someone dropped. I see this love and warm gesture spread from one to another and i see people interacting with one another on an intimate level. the way we are meant to interact. you see people sharing their hearts with others…. things they have never expressed before. i can’t help but wonder what the world would be like if everyday was a holiday. if we celebrated love every single day. if everyday starting with an i love you, a kiss, and a valentine expressing deep love and desire for companionship. i want to challenge myself and everyone else to make everyday something special, something to remember.
Well, here goes nothing! We want to share our lives with everybody that cares! Just to start off I just posted our blogs from the Chaotic Christians Website. We will get better at this whole blogging thing as time goes on… we promise!
Some Midweek Check It outs: A Band-> Maps & AtlasesA Book -> the Basketball Diaries(tough subject to read)A Movie-> The EdgeA Song-> “No Lies just love” By Bright Eyes ( Don’t be frightened of turning album)
My grandpa had heart surgery today, very serious fortunately from what i have heard so far al went well, so that is a blessing….When do we as Christians determine we hear from God, many people talk about hearing God in the silence outside, or deep down in them overwhelming their very beings, and others with signs or talks with someone close, whatever the case is it really hearing God all the time or not or how do we determine any of its truths. Personally i find this subject terribly confusing and hard to really grasp.
But above all i think it is important to just remember to be still and listen and in and around there somewhere is God likes to Talk. Just listen. GO….BUT FOR REAL… I love blogging so I thought I’d start sharing my heart with our wonderful group of listeners. I like to keep challenging myself in areas of my life that I think could grow. My New Years Resolution was to have a quiet time set aside every single day. Something about it is so hard for me. Conceptually, I would love to start my day with this time so I could focus my heart on the Lord FIRST and maintain that focus throughout the day. BUT (that 3-letter word gets me everytime!) I’m not a morning person at all. Ask Doug, I drag myself out of bed 10 minutes before I have to leave every morning. Waking up early is almost impossible. So…automatically I am pushed towards a nighttime quiet time… Which would be awesome if I had a nightly routine. BUT (there it is again!) we go to bed at a different time each night. Lots of times I find myself setting my alarm and dreading waking up in 6 hours! I am definitely the girl who needs a full 8 hours of sleep. So, when is the perfect “quiet time” time? I’m still working on that! Maybe wearing a “quiet time” bracelet or setting an alarm on my phone would help? Next self-challenge is to be more positive. I am in nursing school. In a large group of women (and 3 men of course) with a heavy load on their shoulders, the natural tendency for conversation is to say how impossible the last test was or how Mr., Mrs., or Dr. whatsherface is insane for giving us 5 chapters to read for the following day. They are valid things to be frustrated about and very very easy things to get wrapped up in conversing about. Afterall, What is the main thing that 50 people stuck in a classroom together for 17 hours a week have in common? So, how do i stop the complaining, bickering, gossiping, whining, etc.? The only thing I can come up with is prayer. I would normally say to someone “don’t surround yourself with the crowd thats spreading the negativity disease” but realistically… isolation isn’t an option. I need accountability. In youth group I was shown a demonstration of a person standing on a chair(Bob). The second person(Mary) easily pulled Bob down from the chair. The next demonstration the task was reversed. Bob was to pull Mary up onto the chair. The task at hand was much harder. This demonstration wasn’t real in my life at the time but it stuck in my brain. It’s real now. Its so easy to get pulled off of the chair of being positive… not so easy to pull others up. Once we get stuck in our little habits they are hard to break.
