Ch-Ch-Changes!

Life changes. There's nothing you can do to stop it - it is what it is. And I'm not sure it's bad. I really don't like to be bored... and when life changes it is anything but boring! At least at the beginning ;)

I am no longer pursuing full time ministry - or any formal ministry position - for a season of time. Not sure how long this "season" will last but I'm gonna ride it out until God shows me something different. The unexpected news of our FIFTH baby sparked us to make this change. Working full time and being Mommy to Sam full time was proving to be too much already so we knew that adding a new munchkin to the mix would be impossible. If you had asked me 6 months ago if I would be taking a break from ministry I would have thought you were crazy - but life changes.

I am now on day 10 of being a Stay At Home Mom and I LOVE it. There is only one problem. Now I'm bored. Like I said changes keep life from being boring... at the beginning. I realize 10 days in might still be the beginning but I'm bored. Don't get me wrong - playing with Sam NEVER grows dull! And it's not that I don't have other things to do around the house to keep me busy - I am really enjoying getting the house clean to my standards, organizing, cooking, etc but I need something more. I'm bored.

Thus this blog. My husband told me last night "You should blog. So you won't be bored." What?? I have nothing of interest to say! I am not a writer. I said - what would I say? "Today I woke up, cleaned the living room, did 5 loads of laundry, picked up the same toys 4 times, changed 2 poop diapers, cooked dinner." Wow - that's worth reading........... lol But he is my husband - and pretty fantastic - and pretty full of wisdom - so I thought I would try it. ;)

Good thing is - I just might have something to say in the next few days and it could end up being a bit comical for those who follow. I have a plan to attack my boredom: crafty decorations for our home. Now this could end up quite funny for three reasons... I am NOT crafty. I am NOT artistic. I am NOT good at creating anything with my hands. I plan to try these great projects I find on pinterest and other sites and document my failures - and successes should I have any! It's the strangest thing - I can have GREAT ideas and pictures of what I want to produce in my head but something happens between my head and my hands and there is a complete breakdown!

I'm not sure how long this will last - could be another 10 days and then I'm bored again - but that just means I will get to find something new to try!
