What I blog about?

I was asked earlier this week what I blogged about. It really got me thinking. I must have had a point to why I started and what I wanted to write about when I started, right? I can not for the life of me think of it any more. I have known since I was in elementary school that I would write, ever since my first Haiku I ever wrote got published in a district paper and hung on the wall of the school for everyone to see. I have thought a few times who I am blogging for, because when I have posted I wonder if anyone is reading it or if what I am writing is worth being published to the web. Maybe I am just talking to myself, and maybe that was the point.

Things I blog about, and/ or what to blog about:


  • Books- I have always had a great joy in reading as well as writing, and during my four years of college I neglected my personal reading( and much of my text book reading- you know you did too). Back in Nov of 12, I was snooping around the I AM Second site and came across an opportunity to read and review the lastest book then after that I found out about a publisher that would like you review books if you blogged about them. I have really enjoyed blogging about books and sharing my reviews with Amazon and Barnes. 
  • Bible studies- I have not had any experience/time to do this yet but my hope is to review bible studie series as I finish them ( look forward to a post about Esther by Beth Moore in two months or so) 
  • Causes- I enjoy doing 5k races and I intently research the causes behind the races. I participate in other local Christian outreach groups and will also be talking about those ministries. 
  • Food- if you are my facebook or twitter friend you would know that I am a weirdo : ) aka veganish and I say ish because I eat honey. When I find a really good blogger- I will review the foods I try from their sites and most likely put a crazy spin on it. I add cayenne to almost ANYTHING : ) I would love to get to review free goodies from VeganCuts or other cool vegan foodie groups but have not gotten that privilege yet. 
  • Pinterest- I am venturing into my crafty side and want to see if the cool things I see on there work 
  • and last but not least the personal stuff... ministry, major life events of past & present, and so much more
Story behind the title of the blog:
Hurried Patience
I can attest that God has taught my husband and me some rowdy amounts of patience in the first four years of marriage. The hurried part comes from the fact that I am a planner ( and am obsessed with calendars  and like to have things laid out in a, b, and c. Well as many of you know, God doesn't work in our abc ways. When I became a Christian I became second, when I married I became second again- I put God first in my life as a Christian and as a ministers wife I put my husbands calling to God above my own desires- dont get me wrong, I do not in any way dislike this and knew that I signed up for this : ) at a very young age my dad would joke that one day I would marry a minister and waala I did it and take it as a very serious calling. So as much as I want to hurry things along, patience has been a life lesson. 

With all that said, I think the blog is about me unwinding who I am and not being defined as what I do ( even though they are the puzzle pieces of who I am). Its complex and simple all in one go. You can follow along on the journey or not, I am not phased. A dream would to be able to have a lot of followers but I dont know what Gods plan is in that department yet, and I know that like most of things in my life I will just have to wait and see- have some HURRIED PATIENCE :) 

Ill be waiting...

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

2014 Retrospective

Well well, 2015 snuck up on the Huffman- but want to look back at 2014. January tick tock, tick tock- we spent time waiting on our call- our 2013 ended after a whippity skippity trip to Indianapolis and knew that in Gods timing we would be finding out if and when we would take our next adventure. So before the end of January we knew our new journey would be to Indiana, and it would be soon. I ended my time at Gracepoint and subbed at Churchill Baptist until we got the news. Went to the San Antonio Zoo one last time for our 5th anniversary and what would be our last anni in SA ( for free due to the Spurs winning). We enjoyed seeing GHOST with friends before receiving our call and making final prep for our move to Indy. February Good byes are hard,  especially when they are family, friends and food. Both of us were born and raised in South Texas and even when we moved to Oklahoma for 9 months in 2008-2009 for school at OBU- San Antonio was still home. Basica...
