Tired

I hate when I feel a emotional/mental breakdown coming and I don't know how to prevent it. I know being with Jesus will help, but I don't know what is causing this really awful feeling.

I know certain situations, people, and relationships can be stressful. I'm trying to trust God and not let those things be stressful. Bleh.

I got home tonight and thought my house smelled like my babies. I think it's the tofu.

Music is powerful.

Music is powerful. It can evoke emotions that you weren't planning on feeling, solely by the way that a composer writes and intricately weaves instruments in and out of the overall tapestry of a piece.

This is beautiful. Even if you haven't seen the movie or liked the movie, I don't think you can say this isn't a beautiful piece of music. Holy moly.

I'm weird, let's face it.

So on days I go to small group, I don't have time to eat dinner really. I just got home and go to the kitchen and what do I eat? Beets. I am Amanda and I admit that sometimes I crave beets. I recognize that I am a bit strange, but I wanted to be honest with people and share this really strange part of me. I'm standing in the kitchen eating beets and realizing how weird that is.

My Little Monkey

I just spent almost the entire day with my most favorite baby of all at Pixar. Which is saying a lot considering we don't take care of them based on how much we like them but what needs to get done and who is available (clearly) and normally I don't get to spend more than 10 minutes at a time with him. But OH, how today was wonderful. In the morning, he took 6 steps to me from the table (he's just been walking at the center these last two days), we got to make silly faces at each other, I got to rock him to sleep, and when he was super nervous in a different room--I was his secure base. Essentially, I had to carry him or keep me with me so that he wouldn't completely freak out and meltdown. And when he felt safe with me, he finally loosened up and played around. He has the cutest little smile and little laugh! He's normally so shy and timid that those are rare and very treasured.

Oh my goodness I love this little guy so much! So precious. Can't handle it.
