Tales Of Yoga, Allergies, and Movie Theatre Church.

I'm not athletic.
Not even a little bit.
I've never claimed to be.
I avoid it all costs.
But I'm loving this Yoga stuff.
I think all the breathing they make you do is bad.
I definitely fell asleep the other day on my Yoga mat.
It reminded me of the nap mats we had in kindergarten.
Plus- the guy that does our videos makes me laugh with how odd he is.
(What are "soft eyes"??? He always says that, and I just don't get it at all...)

Every year I think I've conquered my allergies..
They like to throw me for a loop and not bother me when it seems like everyone else is dying.
*BAM*
Surprise- you can no longer breathe and Vicks is your best friend.
I swear I could sleep for 12 hours and my eyes would still be burning and tired.
I need a sterilized cage where nothing from the outside can get in.
That would be fantastic...

We started going to a new church a couple weeks ago.
www.jordancreek.org.
I don't want to be biased- but holy awesome church!
I already feel more at home there in just a couple weeks than I did in two years somewhere else.
Maybe it was my fault before, but this just feels like home.
They're doing a series on marriage which has just been awesome.
www.mymarriageisdead.com.
Everything there just seems so relevant- down to the settings and their ambitions.
Plus, it's in a movie theater so the chairs and ridiculously comfortable. :)
We're really excited about getting involved in some practical ministry.

I wish I had some profound thoughts tonight, but all I can really think of right now is how much Benadryl makes me happy- and how I probably shouldn't be mixing as many meds as I am right now.

I apologize for the next drug induced post.. .:)

I love days off:
Sleep,
sleep,
sushi,
sleep,
video games with my hubby,
gateway (probably more sushi...),
sleep.


So, we found my absolute favorite computer game on Amazon and ordered it. I went to install it on my husband's computer today and it says that it'll only run on Windows 95, does something funky and shuts down. Talk about a sad day....when you're dependent on an even more crappy product from the Bill Gates foundation.


Maybe i'm happier now. I find myself going on much fewer philosophical rants than I used to. Or maybe I don't have as many convictions as I used to- so I settle easier. I'm hoping that the latter is not the case.


I'm relearning freedom through Christ lately. We put ourselves into this stereotype of what we think a Christian is supposed to be like. Essentially, we force chains and bonds on ourselves that don't even need to be there just so we can achieve some sort of weird Christian spiritual nirvana-if you will. I started going to church in a movie theater. Absolutely love it. It's awesome to get to become part of a group of believers that don't have the traditional inhibitions about worshiping Christ. They do it because of their love- not to impress anyone with how "non-traditional" they are. It's refreshing. (Maybe I do have little rants left in me..)


I just finished Reckless Faith by Beth Gukkenberger. Read it. No Seriously. Read it. Beth is the director's wife of the mission I was at in Mexico. She is an incredible woman- and the stories she writes about in the book are incredibly challenging. It's a privilege to have met some of the people that she is so passionate about.



Lessons of the day...be angry at Bill Gates, and spider rolls are incredibly satisfying.
