My wedding dress and lost and found

Really these are two different things =) I got married almost 8 years ago and I have dragged my wedding dress along with us through every move we've made. I guess that would be a total of 5 moves. Several times I've thought about getting rid of it, but for some reason I still have it. Today, I saw it in the back of the downstairs closet and thought I would try it on. I know that sounds crazy, but Autumn thinks wedding dresses are princess dresses (mommy sized princess dresses). Surprisingly and thankfully it fit! That felt good to know I can still fit in my wedding dress from 8 years ago.

Lost and Found... I hate losing things--especially when I only have one of something. I only have one pair of shoes for Eli and on Thursday I lost one in the house. I looked all over and almost got really stressed by it, but I decided to try and let it go. I almost went to buy a new one on Friday but waited and used the ones that are too big for him as a filler. Today I found the missing shoe in the bottom of the dirty laundry. I was so thankful to find it--and thankful that I didn't get mad when it had gotten lost.

That is so not fair! I couldn't fit into my wedding dress today to save my life. Good for you. I've also considered getting rid of my dress, but I just can't let it go. As for the shoes... I'm very proud of you for letting it go and not getting stressed. I tend to overreact to things like that, so I understand! Praise God for little blessings.

Comparison of Verses

Tonight I was reading the Mom's Bible again (NCV) and compared this verse: NCV Ephesians 5:22-24 22 Wives, yield to your husbands, as you do to the Lord, 23 because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. And he is the Savior of the body, which is the church. 24 As the church yields to Christ, so you wives should yield to your husbands in everything. NIV Ephesians 5:22-24 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. The Message 22-24 Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewis...

Grieved

Why is it that my generation (I belong to Gen X) and generations after us always seem to think that they know more than the generations that have come before us? Why is there such a lack of respect in our generation for our elders? Why do we think that the liturgy of the church and hymns are irrelevant? It is ironic to me that the emergent movement is saying that the seeker sensitive movement is irrelevant. It seems as if it was only a few years ago when it was the seeker sensitive movement that said to the traditional church that it (the traditional church) was irrelevant. I'm reading a book with all of these big words and I want to be honest--I didn't understand a lot of it. I'm not dumb. I understood most of it, but the author was assuming a lot of background knowledge on the part of the reader. Most of the time I learn deep theological concepts and then I have to store them in my "attic" (as Autumn would say) because there isn't enough room in the ...

Missing Pieces

The other day I was discussing a book with my mom and explaining to her my concern about how "blame" is cast upon the child in the story.  My mom commented about how deeply I read and consider what is written. Sometimes I wonder if I go overboard.  Am I questioning too much?  Am I overreacting? Why am I reacting this way? I come back to knowing that God wired me this way.  But, I also reflect on how God has guided my path through the maze of books I've read over the past few years and what I've learned from the books themselves and from reading them.   Recently, I read a book that troubled me.  The book I finished reading was  Guiltless Living  by Ginger Hubbard.  When I began reading it, I found myself puzzled and then disconcerted. And in the end, I cried. But, I cried for a different reason than one might suspect. I'd like to explain. I did not read Ms. Hubbard's previous book “ Don't Make Me Count to Three ”, but I knew from f...
