What a great day!

Okay, so in the first time in a very, very long time I had a great day! Yes, you heard me right, I had a GREAT day! I’m almost in tears because I’m so happy that I had this good of a day! What made it such a great day? I honestly don’t know. I had a pretty good nights’ sleep, not the best, but much better then what I had been. Work was pretty easy today, than I got to spend time with friends and family until just now.

I cannot say enough about the friends I have in my life. You know how you have life-long friends? Ones that you graduated high school with, that you’ve known since you were young. Then you have friends that just show up in your life for no apparent reason, those friends that you feel connected to immediately. I’m so lucky to have those friends, and I know that they are not put into my life for no apparent reason, God put them there! I have made so many close friends in the last 3 months. These friends I trust with my life! Literally, they pretty much know me better then I know myself. Haha…..which is good and bad! But, these friends hold me accountable. Accountable for what you may ask? Well, I haven’t really figured that out. I mean, I know that I have my closest friend that is holding me accountable for ending my previous relationship, but she also holds me accountable for spiritual growth, really, a couple friends have that responsibility. Maybe accountability isn’t the best word. Hmmmm……..going to have to think on that.

Anyway, so yesterday, I was gave a challenge. (Again, maybe not the right word, let me explain.) I have to get through every 3 minutes, without negative thinking. Then, I need to tally those times. So how many times have I fought those battles in my head today? Okay, today was such a great day, that I honestly didn’t even tally them. I know I still had a couple times where I did fight, but it was over so quick that I didn’t even tally them. Great, huh?  Maybe, this is going to help me more than I thought. I can already see the smirk going across the person’s face that told me this. (Shaking my head) I really don’t like being wrong!


Tomorrow is going to be another great day! I’m going to get a pretty good nights’ sleep, then I’m going to have a great day with my friend! Positive thinking!

Insignificant

The world has drowned itself out, my worries, my anxiety, my brokenness, my overthinking, all submerged into the water as I lay on my back staring up at the black sky. A clear night like no other, I'm amazed at the stars that I can see, and yet don't dare to even began to count them. I pick out the Little Dipper, more because it's the only one I can really remember from school. The water is warm on this summer night as I lay as still as can be. I almost feel like I'm laying in a giant bathtub, but my part of body that isn't covered by water gets goosebumps, more to just remind me I'm outside.  It is so quiet, I can hear my heart beating, the sounds gives me comfort, in some strange way. The water in my ears drowns out everything else. Everything is so peaceful and calm, if only my heart was that way.  As I stop in the center of the pool, and relax as I've never relaxed before... I think about how insignificant I am. Who am I? In this world with billion

I AM A Child of God

If you grew up in a rough atmosphere, not the best relationships with your family it is so hard to figure out who you are in the eyes of God. This has been something I have struggled with for almost 4 years now. It's so hard to see God's wonderful grace, his mercy, his compassion, his total unconditional love. I've never experienced these types of things in my life, so how can God........... I try my hardest to show these things to my own kids so they never have to struggle in knowing what this all looks like. My prayer today is that I can see/feel/know/understand all these qualities from a God that I know through the bible loves me.

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger???

Looking back on my life, this simple quote makes me think? What doesn't kill you makes you what? Stronger? Happier? More peaceful? Smarter? I feel like you can put anything at the end of this statement. My ending word has changed more times then I care to admit, as I suppose that yours has too. Having a micro-premie....."What doesn't kill you makes you smarter?" I learned so much for our 5 month hiatus in the NICU. I witnessed so many miracles. This was a time that in my life that I was the most scared, for my life and for my baby. If you have never seen what a 1 pound, 23 week baby looked like outside of the womb, you wouldn't get how amazing of a place any NICU is. I am so thankful for all that I learned through my first miracle. I'm so thankful that God gave me her to make me stronger!  Having not one, but two strokes..... "What doesn't kill you makes you anxious?" This one took me awhile to really come up with. There's a long story with
