You just moved again. Not like it hasn't been done before, when you were little the turmoil was often, but your rocks, your parents were by your side. Not that it wasn't easy when you were tiny, but everything moved. But this time like the last, your world is bigger, and unlike a friend moving away, you are the friend and everything else was ripped away. And you, you might as well been plopped down in a muddy field, cold drizzle and hot sun. A new universe with nothing but a few fragile threads holding onto the familiar past... and sadly you are watching those threads be stressed. </p><p>You watch friends make choices they should not make. You watch them dream dreams they should not dream. But you are there too. Stuck. Unable to dream those bad dreams. Fragile, with cracks already showing. If you were a teapot you would be asked to be set safely in the cupboard for fear that one more round of hot water, one more gentle tap of the spout, and it is over. Kintsugi is unfathomable, mosaic is not new beauty it is broken pieces locked in the mud, washed by drizzle, baked by the sun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh but there is more! On top of having to rebuild your castle and rebuild your kingdom you are older now. Children have it safe, the parents provide, the worries are few. If life was a waterway being a baby is a tiny puddle able to be held completely in your parents hands. Childhood a tiny trickle so fun to play in. Grandparents are a wide lazy river so wide and calm it is comforting. We are stuck in between, the rapids of maturing, the whitewater of living. Never can we really go back upstream, it is always down.</p><p>Continuing this river allegory. Some people choose to add rocks and rapids and make life even more of an adventure than it needs to be. Others try to make the smooth and flat and easy as possible. Your mom and I chose to combine our streams, and we have chosen to both add more adventure, and make the future easier. </p><p>The biggest thing is, we have listened to the whispering call of God. We have accepted Jesus. I was 13 when I figured out God was a prayer away, active in my life, there for the asking. I was 21 when I realized that I needed Jesus as savior. You were 2, and I was 32 when I realized that not only was God there for after I die, but for now, and not so much as something to help me removed the rocks from my rapids and make my stream smooth but I am flowing in His giant calm river. Your mother and I have agreed to be a part of something much much bigger than we can even fathom. </p><p>Us following God's call has brought you most of the biggest turmoils of your life. Following God's call we took you to India as a young blond girl. India where you are good luck charm. Pinch the cheeks and maybe some god will look favorable to you. We took you to Iowa to grow. Then right when you were branching out we moved you to Michigan, where it was hard to figure out what was real. After getting stable there another move, Texas during a pandemic. Thrown into new pond, where again first impressions will brand you for life... for now.</p><p>God's whispering moved us from Iowa to Michigan, the town, the house, the church. After that we were on our own. God's whispering has done it again, the town, the house, and the church. All I know is someday we will be looking back at both these moves we will be even more thankful for God's providence this time that last. Yes your father has faith that the turmoil of our future is better than past.</p><p>Why if God is a calm ocean are we being put on the edges, crashing waves, flowing tides and currents? Stagnant water does not do much. Think of that little pool of water I keep filling in the back yard. At first is it cold and refreshing in a hot day, but after a week all the surfaces are slimy, if I kept the water in there it would be worse and worse. Instead I get out a hose, the water had a rest, it needs to flow again, out onto the grass, to refresh the grass and filter down through the earth to a well to be used again. God does the same thing he gives us rest, then uses us, then rest, then uses us, then rest through life until we can finally rest with him.</p><p>Oh but why not skip that path and carefully remove everything ending with a nice calm laminar flow. Where is that flow going? Rejecting God leads to a final point completely separated from Him. As an amoeba can not comprehend a human such is my comprehension of God, we humans are all such a simple life form able to comprehend only to the extent of how God has tried to explain. </p><p>Angels know God. All of him know of his power and goodness. <a href="https://www.openbible.info/topics/satan_and_a_third_of_angels_caste_out_of_heaven" target="_blank">1/3rd of them</a> were cast out, away from God. Where to? This created universe where you now live. They will never be returning to where God is. They are on a slow slide away from God. Soon to be forever separated. Earth is the strange place, it is where there is both the goodness of God and the not goodness of those 1/3rd are intertwined. Where there is a third spiritual gang, not God, not angels, humans, able to reproduce, grow and decide for themselves. They know so little of everything, yet have so much wonderful power. Will they admit they are babies and need to be held in God's giant hands? Or will they embrace their own strengths and do it on their own, crawl, walk, fly and crash all on their own. Those 1/3 of angels are not gone, were they the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim" target="_blank">nephilim</a>? Those 1/3 and 2/3rds are in a war, most of it outside of the universe we live in. God has protected us, they can only whisper on this earth to call future warriors who are stronger than them to join them in the fight. To rip apart everything good in this seed, all the way down to the DNA so that when the plant finally grows it is not the beautiful glory God desires, it is a cancerous festering mess, a failed experiment where the minority are the laughing victors and the majority and the great power is a failure. Man is more powerful than angles the 1/3 need us on their side to win. </p><p>If both sides are whispering how do we know who to listen to? God may be good but he guides us into rapids and makes us scour the rock, so much pain in this life and He is good? Another whisper leads us to a calm pool, and we don't know is it the middle of the river or a toilet? We don't know what's next, we don't know. We are but a tiny amoeba fighting to move mere millimeters in a race a million miles long. Look at the past where the clear whisper of God is written. Invite the Holy Spirit into your life and let Him guide you. Use the Bible as a resource of history and guidance, learn from the examples within, the people who have failed, the God who is good. The suggested rules that will guide is through the rapids of life.</p><p>But you are depressed now, stuck in Texas, longing to go back, but as your parents have learned we are all in a stream, we can't go back, the rocks have been scoured, the rest of the water has moved downstream. The past does not exist, except in our memories. Your future is scary, but you have to go forward. You are stuck, scared, muddy. Anna walk forward, do the basics no mater how much it hurts, help out around the house. Turn off the noise of television, embrace the silence of your own mind, you are drowning out the whispers there to help you, If you pray and ask God to whisper into your life he will, just like when I was 13. He wants you to ask every day, so He can prove He is there every day, every hour if you need it. Take each step one at a time, as if you were a baby there to walk. Your parents and siblings are right here by your side. Imagine two futures for yourself, one where you ask if you can join God in his river, where he will guide you in and out of the rocks and another where you do it on your own. For today make your future about tomorrow. Tomorrow we can all work on next week, next week we will work on next month, next month maybe we can dream about next year, and next year we can dream about all decades to come.</p><p>And when all those decades are past, you will realize those dreams did not come true, and you will forget about all good that has happened, you will remember all your failures, the whispers reminding you how bad they felt and and flood you with those awful feelings again. Bad whispers that tell me that my future is going to be more mud and muck and grime. Me thinking that about myself. Thinking of so many dead dreams. Dreams are meant to be like a dandelion seed, to grow and be blown off on the wind in to wonderful clear skies. Not stomped into the mud. I have forgotten that a seed needs to be put into the mud to have a chance to grow and grow and bloom and send out seeds. To be fruitful and multiply.</p>Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14977832744110795028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349997624702318026.post-35306363748625622042022-06-05T21:25:00.004-05:002022-06-05T21:25:50.628-05:00Tulip Time<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfCplezbKGKCCRlBnZ2U9w68_Nul3W_fDknWrFtg9A9-DjFwXgW7zuk0eKDpcN0LN09GOJhYn_pyILhVZ_Qv96QWeR4VYedg-T4Dm2o-xo9Ya7CVMTQC_xSwP9fXQ9IdWb5FH3SVhLjeu97giAwYCPYleDTzC9XENXE0dm-i94wMKl3ec76yDYI6Yzw/s4032/WLCQ0643.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfCplezbKGKCCRlBnZ2U9w68_Nul3W_fDknWrFtg9A9-DjFwXgW7zuk0eKDpcN0LN09GOJhYn_pyILhVZ_Qv96QWeR4VYedg-T4Dm2o-xo9Ya7CVMTQC_xSwP9fXQ9IdWb5FH3SVhLjeu97giAwYCPYleDTzC9XENXE0dm-i94wMKl3ec76yDYI6Yzw/s320/WLCQ0643.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Those cupboard beds always intrigued me I kinda would like one to hide away in sometimes.

Notice it isn't in the title because we are still waiting.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also we subscribed to Makersgeek Filament of the month club. The company died but the filament has been working out well. We now have had about 20 rolls waiting on the machine. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I saw that there is a big group of people on Facebook that have Ender 3 printers. The people are helpful so when the 3d printer was about $180 I got one. </div>

That means unless something falls off I have to figure out how to run it. It is my hobby now. Thankfully the Facebook group helped me when all I could get were prints going on the nozzle for a ride.</div>

<div>
I needed alcohol, well rubbing alcohol for cleaning the bed. Thankfully my quilting cloth is near by for lint-less rags :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Turns out my bed needed to be 60c vs 50c and I turned my nozzle temp from 200 to 215.</div>

He and the truck are on their way to Michigan. My heart breaks for him.<br />
<br />
This is where the 10 year Perspective comes. In ten years will it matters we slept in the floor four days or nine? Not really. It's like indoor camping. We are fine. <br />
<br />
It's just stuff.<br />
<br />
I think of our driver. I am praying for him. Safety, patience, clarity in mind and driving. In ten years this will still hurt him. I do pray he and his girlfriend know God and trust in Him. If so he will see her I in heaven. That's the hope of Jesus. Being in heaven with Him.<br />

We close on the Michigan house at the end of March. The next day we will close on the house in Fort Worth. Right now Ryan is up here in Michigan with me. <br />
<br />

Some of his people are working in their garages. That won't work here since it was 27 degrees this morning. Ryan actually put a heater up in our room. He has a desk and 2 to 3 computers up and running up there.<br />
<br />
I got him outside for a walk today. Then he went upstairs for long underwear and a winter coat. Maple enjoyed the time outside too.<br />
<br />
<br />
We are packing like nothing will happen to stop trucks from traveling the USA. I think we will go thru 3-5 states to get to our new home. I have no idea.<br />
<br />
God is the only one who knows what is going on now. <br />
<br />
Not sure the kids will be going to finish the year online with Michigan or in a Texas school. They can't even go out to make new friends. This is really weird folks.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968045558443308571noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349997624702318026.post-82398152590022109952020-03-16T21:32:00.000-05:002020-03-21T21:32:46.134-05:00ShoppingSo the world is shutting down due to the Corona Virus. We went to my step-moms this weekend. I got her some groceries to keep her inside. <br />
<br />
I was amazed at the lack of toilet paper. I included some pictures from South Bend and Fenton near where I live.<br />
<br />
There are alternatives. I have a lot of fabric that can be reused. It is not all packed yet. <br />
<br />
I remember my time in India (water bucket) and 2 out of 3 kids were in cloth diapers.<br />

We are packing for Texas. We did a ton before putting the house on the market. Ryan packed a lot of his stuff before he left in January.<br />
<br />
Home Depot is the place to buy <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Storage-Organization-Moving-Supplies-Moving-Boxes/Pick-Up-Today/N-5yc1vZchncZ1z175a5?browsestoreoption=1&storeSelection=2741,2763,2716,2717,2751&experienceName=default" target="_blank">boxes</a>. I have moved so many times and it is worth the cash to get all the boxes the same size and to know that they are sturdy. I did get my tape at <a href="https://www.meijer.com/weeklyad.html?cmpid=Brand_-_Core_%28Exact%29%3AMJR_-_Core_-_P%3Ameijer%3AGOOGLE" target="_blank">Meijers </a>on sale. That is a grocery store up here. I just run out of tape after using 6 rolls. I tape the tops and bottoms 3 times each. I have some stretch plastic that I used on a baby doll bed I took it apart.<br />
<br />
We close on the 26th for the house in Michigan and Close on the house in Dallas on the 27th.<br />
<br />

I got 4 dozen quart jars in a <a href="https://www.meijer.com/weeklyad.html?cmpid=Brand_-_Core_%28Exact%29%3AMJR_-_Core_-_P%3Ameijer%3AGOOGLE" target="_blank">Medium Home Depot Box</a>. I used cardboard to separate each jar. I have so many that I am not worried about losing one or two. I also sold 14 dozen jars before this.<br />
<br />
It is March 4th and we have 3 weeks left here. Do I pack the snow pants? We went sledding Sunday at <a href="https://geneseecountyparks.org/explore/linden-county-park/" target="_blank">Clover Beach</a> and now it is in the 40's.<br />

I packed some food today that I knew I would not use till I am down there like Maple Sugar and sprinkles. Yes we do eat healthy.<br />
<br />
My box cutter is my friend in all of this packing.<br />

He felt calm with the interview. He came back and after praying said "I am going to get a job with this company." <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First of all we are from Michigan. I have never been to Texas. I had no interest in going there either. Absolutely nothing drew me there. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He did not get that job. Some one retired like the CO or President and they quit hiring. He kept feeling Gods leading that he would be working for this company. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He was laid off in November. Time to interview and send out his resume. We both felt calm. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unlike when he was laid off in Pennsylvania I did so many Mystery Shops that I made $2000 in reimbursements and such in a month. Normally I do less that $100 a month. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ryan was blessed with a severance package and we had almost filled our Emergency Fund from replacing the Malibu after 21 years. God had us calm. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also my dad had been in and out of rehabilitation places and the hospitals since June. I was in my own little world.</div>
<div>

I decided the number of colors doesn't have to be equal. I can do what I want so I added more of the palm tree pattern and another pelican piece.<br />
<br />
It is one of those things I hope she likes it. If she doesn't I will claim it or give it to my brother. I am doing it for the experiance because my friend Claire asked for a t shirt quilt. Also I feel closer to my dad.<br />
<br />
Dad pushing the kids on his walker around. <br />
<br />
Times we would have a morning breakfast and leisurely staying at the table just talking.<br />
<br />
Hundreds of phone calls asking about fixing mowers, cars and kids.<br />
<br />
I am blessed to spend evenings just chatting with him and Diane.<br />

- Install new carpet<br />
- Make sure all walls are all touched up<br />
- Shovel the driveway so they don't think the snow sticks to it or something<br />
- Don't cook anything that smells or makes a mess<br />

Guess what, right now we are have gotten to the point there has been an inspection of the house. Its looking good to selling the house but we need to find a place to land there too. The girls don't want to share a room and a pool would be a bonus.<br />

He had been sick so long. When I got to his home his shirts were gone and I helped get rid of a lot of holy jeans. I ended up with ten pairs of pajama pants. I think the coolest ones have pelicans and palm trees.<br />

Treated like a t-shirt quilt. And I had to find a pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
January the Missouri Star Quilt Company had a pixelated heart pattern. It was perfect and it didn't need a lot of the fabric. About 70 squares of the patterns and then white. My step mom really likes white. when I met her she had white carpet, white couches, white tables, white bed frame and she's even brave enough to wear white pants. <a href="https://www.missouriquiltco.com/land/tutorials/pixelated-heart-quilt/assets/pixelated-heart-quilt-pattern.pdf" target="_blank">Pixilated Heart</a><br />
<br />
Did I mention that were in the process of moving to Texas. Ryan is in his third week of working down there. I figured that I would work on the quilt as much as I can before I move. I'm hoping to get it quilting done maybe even this week.<br />
<br />
Thursday I leave for Diane's house. She gets the kids and I fly down to Texas.<br />
<br />
Not sure what's possible but I can try.<br />

I got extra credit in high school for reading books. I'm glad that my kids have their own bookshelves in their rooms but I know they have different tastes so there are books that will not be read again here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We like sharing books and having Little Free Library out front really helps us to do that. We have been planning to have one for a very long time and brought a box of books with us from Iowa to Michigan. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find one near you with this link<a href="https://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/" target="_blank"> Little Free Library</a>. Our Charter is 77029. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The frame is from scrap wood. Ryan cut every side trim piece, like 400 of them. We roofed with with extra shingles from our roof and topped with with some copper. The door is made from 1960's teak Ryan's dad gave him. I painted it in the house trim colors. It has a little window in the back to see if the light is on (we are still working on the light part.)</span><br />
