A-Parent-Ly

Last night as Daniel and I got into bed, we had the day's activities fresh on our minds (of course). It's not every day that your teenage son (or step-son, in my case) comes to live with you for the first time. Here's how the conversation went down, before we nestled into a soporific state:


 

Me: Well, I guess we're parents now.

Daniel: Apparently.

(Slight pause)

Me: I guess that means we need to grow up.

Daniel: Apparently.


 

We sang an Israel Houghton song at church on Sunday. I keep singing it in my mind. It really goes with this new season in our lives, apparently:

It's a new season; it's a new day,

A fresh anointing is flowing my way

It's a season of power and prosperity

It's a new season coming to me.

CSI: Church

September 30th was a big day in our household, for it was the Sunday that we ended a six-year relationship at the church where we are members. We have found that even though you feel like God is leading you to take a stand--it doesn't make it any easier. Leaving (since we were the oddballs, so to speak) has been one of the most difficult things we've ever done as a couple. I would put it right after the whole immigration fiasco, and the dual deaths we experienced in 2002 and then again in 2005. This post has been a long time brewing. I have so much to say. With each Sunday that we visit and investigate a new church, and with each interesting person we meet, I kind of feel like I'm a part of a TV show and this mystery is unravelling with each step we take. I thought we were going to be placed into a dry and weary desert and I was gearing up to experience a dehydrated spiritual life. But I am very happy to report that it seems that God had other plans. Healing... We took the ...

Interesting! I picked these Nasturtium flower seeds out at Home Depot because (1) they were very pretty, (2) I liked the Empress of India name for the red ones, and (3) they were “buy one get one free” for Earth Day. I’d never even heard of them before. I bought a jewel mix and the Empress of India variety and when I looked them up, I found out they are also edible. They are like water cress (which is another thing I think I will plant). I have planted the Nasturtiums in the front yard along the path to the front door. I can hardly wait to see how they look when they bloom! http://www.sallybernstein.com/food/columns/gilbert/nasturtiums.htm http://www.gardenguides.com/plants/info/flowers/annuals/nasturtium.asp This is the Empress of India variety. What bold red! I also planted 2 purple balloon Flowers on either side of the walkway. Our garden consists of 9 green pepper plants (yeah, I know it’s a lot but I love green peppers!), 3 cherry tomato plants (these are so addictive; great in s...
