To every season turn turn turn

Here we are at the beginning of the holiday season! Time is just zooming around right along with my boy who zooming everywhere walking...

Change is tough. Really tough... But I am writing about change on the tail end of my season of change.

We have settled into our new home, new roles, and a different life than we had known before our boy.

It is much easier to say "everything is going well" now that we have been doing this for more than a year. I cannot believe I just typed that!

As a family we have made some difficult decisions on the behalf of Ethan and what is best for him. As of May of this year we decided it was best for me to stay home with Ethan for the time being. We have had to make sacrifices and our budget is extremely tight. It was also a great fit for me. 

After having Ethan I had some serious Postpartum Depression. But that is for another post... 

This last year has been amazing, stressful, but there has just been so much love. 

Traveling through a new season in our marriage, new season in our family immediate and extended. 

God takes us through these seasons I feel for different reasons. 

1. To draw him closer to him
2. To cause growth in you
3. To propel/prepare you to your next "job" or place in your life. 

I am so incredibly thankful for my boys. My big one and little one. 

I know this season is not forever, and I will be returning to work eventually... we will go through another transition period. 

There is so much I want to just pour out... So much self searching I am doing right now. Probably because I am 30 now!! YES I AM 30! How did that happen? I have no idea. 

I am excited about 30. 30 holds so much. My E growing and maybe he will be joined by a sibling (Only God knows that one), Watching my family grow and get older. Hopefully buying a house. 

God has really been showing me things about myself and directing in a different way than I thought he would. But I am trusting him to open the doors he wants me to walk through, guiding my steps. 

I am excited to say that I am ready to start blogging again! I loved it but when Ethan came along there was just so much we went through I could not concentrate. 

But I am back! And look forward to getting back to writing! 

My baby turned one! Yo Gabba Gabba style! Excuse my hubby's goofy grin! He makes me laugh!

See you soon,

One year ago today my life changed

One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
