Lenten Promises

0

Posted on : 22-02-2010 | By : Evie | In : Cadence

I had planned this long indepth post about Lent and that all important question of  what “to give up”. It is half written. Waiting for me to finish it. Among the topics I discuss was how one should NOT give up food for Lent. That dieting for God was not the way to go.

Then last night. The girls wanted ice cream for dessert. Both girls wanted to chocolate ice cream. After dishing both girls up two scoops both C turned to walk back into the living room to finishing walking the USA Canada hockey game. C stopped suddenly and in an anquished tone said,

I CANNOT HAVE THIS!

She then explained how she had given up chocolate for her Lenten promise. Then asked me not to make chocolate chip cookies and could I please buy her some non-chocolate chip granola bars and please not to buy z-bars – She likes the chocolate brownie and chocolate chip ones.

As I watched her struggle with her decision and her face fall a little bit with the mention of each food she could not have I realized that food is a perfectly acceptable thing to give up for Lent. Thanks God for reminding me that what I do not struggle with other do.

I told her this morning that I would join her in her Lenten promise. I would also not eat chocolate. I decided to give up all snacking in the evenings because chocolate isnt really a problem for me.

My original Lenten promise is that I would spend more time on the floor with my children not allowing myself to be distracted. Countless times I put them off telling them that that I will be with them in a minute only to never get back to them. I need to ignore these daily distractions that take away from my children. I need to be patient with them and not lose my temper.  Savoring each moment with them because when I look at C I realize how short the time I have left with her.

Instead of Blogging

Posted on : 18-02-2010 | By : Evie | In : Uncategorized

I have been missing.

I haven’t finished the 9 year recap, “A Decade in Fastfoward”.

I haven’t posted about the professor. Remember him?

I wanted to do an Ash Wednesday post. Haven’t done that either.

I also haven’t posted on our impending move to Green Bay, Wisconsin.  MOVE?! You say. Why yes, Ryan got the job at St Norbert College so we’ll be moving.

So what have I done. Well.

I’ve been taking care of my sick boys. They haven’t been sleeping.

I have been learning to knit. So instead of spending the evening on the computer or studying I have been knitting.

I have been writing essays. I have an essay due every week for the next three weeks.

I have been reading. Books like -

PS: Your job is to figure out what class they belong to.

Straight to Jesus: Sexual and Christian Conversions in the Ex-Gay Movement by Tanya Erzen

Central Africans and Cultural Transformation in the African Diasporas Edited by Linda Heywood

Wiseblood by Flannery O’Connor

Lancelot by Walker Percy

and random articles.

I’ve been going to my professors’ office hours. For some reason I get very nervous about going to office hours but I go. Every visit has been great so far.

I’ve been spending more time with my kids.

I’ve been cooking yummy food.

Basically I’ve been living life with my hands full. What have you been up too?

Hope for Natalie

2

Posted on : 07-02-2010 | By : Evie | In : Featured

This is Natalie. Natalie is an 8 year old little girl. An 8 year old girl that should be at school, playing with friends, having fun … yet she sits in a hospital fighting … fighting leukemia.

One of my fellow twin moms asked me to post about Natalie in hopes that one of you will be able to help.

You see this is not Natalie’s first time fighting leukemia. This is her second. Natalie went through several rounds of chemotherapy last year and her leukemia was in remission but now, now it is back. Natalie has just weeks to find a bone marrow donor match so that she can have a chance at life. Doctors have told Natalie’s family that her best chance is to find a match of Asian descent.

That being said what can you do?

You can: Help spread the word. http://www.hopefornatalie.com

You can: Register as a bone marrow donor. http://www.dkmsamericas.org/home
Even if you are not of Asian descent consider registering because while you may not be a match for Natalie you might be a match for another child.

Become a donor. It’s as simple as a cheek swap.

And if you happen to be chosen think of what Natalie’s mom wrote, “She was a little sore from the biopsy draw. It made me think that this is what her bone marrow donor will feel when we find that special donor for her. The only difference is that her donor will only have to feel the soreness once and be done with it all. Natalie has had to do this procedure and deal with the soreness so many times.”

OR

You can donate money. Natalie’s medical expensive will be extensive.

It’s time to step up not just for Natalie but for any child having to fight cancer.

Lunch time at the Cordells
