Crazy Love

I think I promised a really, really long time ago to tell the full story of how Randy & I met and got together. It really is a crazy story, and it definitely shows The Lord's hand in bringing us together from a very early time. Since it's Valentine's Day, now seemed like a good time to share "the story of us." photo by McKenzie Baird I'll begin with where things start from my end... When I was about to be a senior in high school, my mom was going insane because I wasn't even thinking about which schools I wanted to attend once I graduated. I had no clue. I didn't even know where to begin. At that time, she was working at our church in the creative arts department and a friend from church, whom I didn't know well at the time, was interning with the youth department and told my mom about her university a few hours away. Before I even knew what was going on, we were scheduled for a trip to go visit and I was furious. I had a boyfriend bac...

Awesome God

I've had quite a bit on my mind lately. While it may not always seem like it, I've been trying to stay intentional with my blog posts so that I'm not just rambling on about nonsense. I try to have a clear purpose for each post and I like to have an idea of what I'm going to talk about. Lately, my medication (I think the T-max is mostly to blame) has made this part particularly difficult. Sorting through thoughts is an incredibly difficult process. Sometimes I just feel stupid . Not a good feeling. This post is going to be about children. It's not going to be a silly post like last time, and there aren't going to be any games. I'm going to be super serious. This is a post from the depths of my heart and  soul. I am often overly dramatic, but I am being very serious here. I am extremely passionate about the things I am about to write. I've had quite a bit of "baby brain" lately since it seems many people I know are having babies! Until this ...

Naturally Skeptic

Image
Lately, I have been looking into what many have, especially these days. I have been trying to convert to more natural living. I am always really careful to take everything I read about natural products with a grain of salt because I believe humans were given the knowledge needed for medicine (which, are often made from plants!) for a reason...even though we often abuse it! I believe everything should be done and taken under doctor supervision, especially if it's supposed to treat something major, like a heart condition. I recently had a woman at a farmer's market who tried to tell me not to take medicine for things like blood pressure and such after I told her I believed herbs and remedies were great for certain things, but others needed more serious treatment. I only mentioned it to her after she told me she had some type of a "medical degree", thinking she might understand my view. Definitely skeptical about what kind of degree... I just kind of nodded, smiled, ...
