This year has been a challenging one, almost too complicated to understand. To be honest as I have faced the trials that this year has brought me I have learned that without God there is no foundation. God has been my rock and has kept me a float as I was going through all the crazy chaos. Now that I look upon the events that have gone on I now have peace of the end result. No matter what you are facing always remember God is there to guide and encourage you along the way.
Walking by faith has been super hard for me lately. I want to fix the problems my self, I think with most that holds true for most. As silly as it sounds I feel like the bumps and trials I have face this Summer and year have made me stronger. I now understand the reasoning of walking by Faith.
There is beauty behind it, just as children depend on their parents and put their full trust in them we should do the same with God. He is always there and has a plan for each and every person. Waiting for the Lord can be a very difficult task for the simplistic mind of people. We tend to jump the gun and try to manage everything ourselves.
I stressed over things I had no control over this summer which made me partially miserable. The stress could have easily been avoided if I would have trusted the Lord instead of trying to take matters in my own hands. Trust the Lord, He knows what He is doing! 😊
Yep…been a while since I truly gave an update of what has been going on. Well it seems like a lot lol! Summer has been truly keeping me on my toes and is going full fledged out crazy. Hopefully when school starts the chaos will die down a bit, at least from the unplanned crazy standpoint that is. We are currently in the middle of buying a house which I have to say definitely is exciting but SUPER stressful!
I am hoping in about a day or two we will be able to finish everything up and finally move forward with the house :). That is the goal though, depends on the underwriter and their mood. Starting this new chapter is definitely exciting and welcome due to all the rough patches this year has brought me.
This year has really brought a lot of pain, but through it all I have grown stronger. Through everything I have faced this year I have learned that nothing is Greater than God. No problem I have faced, dealt with, or will deal with is bigger than God. That is what has kept me pushing through the pain and the rough patches. 🙂
Always remember that no matter what you are going through God is always there. He is always there to pick you up when you fall, wipe away the tears when you cry, and lift you up when you are down. For so long I pushed God away because I got lost in everything around me that I forgot how dependent I truly was in need of HIM. We forget as humans that we are so small and that GOD is so BIG. Always remember no matter what you are facing God is always there waiting for you!
I just thought I should share this because in a way I feel like many can relate even if they don’t admit to it.
Parenting…there is nothing like it! You will have your fun, crazy, terrible, amazing, and nothing can describe days! I am sure many know exactly what I am talking about to lol. Especially having three boys and one girl I have learned that chaos definitly comes with the territory.
Here are some pictures of my sweet amazing mini me’s!!!!!! Enjoy!
Where do I begin…society seems to be in divided tyranny. There is one major stance I take very seriously, one that many take offense to or shun because in some eyes it is not a politically correct view to take a stand for.
Recently I have seen a lot of terrible posts regarding abortion also known as Murder. Yes, I know I said the “M” word and Yes I meant it. I am saddened by the unborn babies that lose their lives daily due to the lack of responsibility and compassion for life.
Somebody has to raise a voice for those that can’t speak or stand up for themselves! We do that for our own children every single day. When you conceive a child your title as a mother and father is automatic no exceptions. Unborn babies feel, hear, and are intelligent. They are gifts from the Lord and so many take them for granted.
It is just breaking my heart….Take a Stand! Fight for the Unborn!!!
These last few weeks have been a challenge for me and as a result my blogging got put on the back burner for a bit. Life surely has its twists and turns, most you don’t even expect or see until you are faced with the dilemma.
I have learned though with all the stress, pain, and endurance we feel there will always beat sense of self worth and achievement that follows. I recently had to learn the hard way that stressing is not the answer to any problem, all it did was make me very sick.
As change enters my family again I try to remind myself that no matter how difficult or stressful a situation may seem there is always a way to make the transition more enjoyable.
Ways to Cope with Stress…
I hope these coping mechanisms help you all that do deal with stress on a day to day basis.
Well considering I slept half the day due to the lack of energy I have been feeling lately, it has definitely been troubling. It seems like my crazy sleep schedule is catching up with me. Once I got up, my kids decided to clean their room! Wow….don’t hear that often. Usually there is a major battle that goes on to get that job done. Yep, they did…well most of it at least. Better than anytime I have ever fought them to do it lol. Well after that it was lunch time so we decided to have left over soup. Well beyond my knowledge they weren’t too hungry. They had snacked on ALL the goodies in the kitchen when me and Daddy weren’t looking. Yep that happened, so they weren’t too eager to sit down to eat.
Now came the battle of the television lol. Everyone wanted to do something different! Games, movies, television in general….well…I fixed that! I decided to put on Jaws (it just happened to be on and everyone loves a good classic of course). My kids were so in tune with that movie it was hilarious. I should of taken pictures but sadly got distracted by baby Gene, he wanted to join in all the fun!
While the kids were content I decided to call Apple today to fix my Apple ID lol, the one that my kids disabled while trying to download games… Yeah that was not the plan and totally not expected. Well once I finally got someone on the line the kids decided to fight, yell, and make as much noise as possible- have you ever noticed when you get off the phone how quite they get- yeah that’s how it went once I did get off the phone. Well once I fixed my ID…What do you think I finally decided to give in and do…YEP…Download #PokemonGo. I did and it is the most entertaining app I have seen in a long time. It has brought my inner nerd out! Yes that’s right everyone I am a nerd and proud of it. I love POKEMON!!! I grew up with the gameboy color and used to walk around playing all the different games that were Pokemon related. Boy do I miss those days!
Well today while playing the game I finally realized how people get so attached and so careless all at the same time. It is the most intriguing game yet and it takes all your focus as well. I will say this though, it is definitely bringing people closer together and is causing a great revival in exercising and movement lol. Yes fitness is something that most of us talk about but tend to neglect. Well folks the people that own Pokemon did it lol. They built an app that pleased the public and encouraged exercising all in one. I think it was definitely a great way to get people in shape and on the move without making it feel like a chore. I have to say as I continue to check out the app I am learning that as we play we really do need to take safety into account though. Be Safe, Keep an eye on your surroundings, Watch where you step, and have fun…one note I would like to add though, I would travel in a group or at least with more than one person just to be safe! Now go catch em all!
The last two days have been extremely amusing due to the new app out there also known as #PokemonGo which has become the latest fad. People walking aimlessly around the neighborhood, grocery stores, and even gas stations. Sadly others are using it for mischievous purposes but on a funny note it has definitely gotten people to move more.
If you think you are lazy then you should definitely give this hot new app a try. Pokemon is a great old fashion trend that the generation that grew up in the 90’s can truly appreciate! The only concern about the app that has been brought up is the lack of safety. People are a little careless and unaware of their surroundings while searching for Pokemon on their phones. A good friend of mine did make a good point that it is bringing people together. I think the app is fun and creative but people do need to take precautions of safety especially young children playing the game. So go catch em all and have a blast one Pokemon at time! 😉
Cleaning is no joke when you have little ones… Right!? Well as I see it, cleaning is hilarious when you have little ones running around. You pick one item up and another pops up on the floor. It is literally my never ending story along with the laundry duty that goes on in this house. Yeah got to say laundry isn’t my favorite chore either. The joys of parenthood, I will say this though cleaning with the kids is awesome. Watching them put away the toys and bicker where the right place to put the them away is hilarious. Some of the craziest conversations come along during clean-up time. Then there are the days when clean up is not an option, yep…those days occur too. To be fair I think adults have a similar mindset, we tend to have those days that we won’t nothing to do with adulting. Cleaning up can be a pain…along with laundry :). I just find it so funny that as adults we still have that child-like attitude towards cleaning and grown-up responsibilities. Our kids are literally our little mini mes…mine sure are. I just love connecting with them and spending quality time with them even in the most serious moments of our busy lives.
The last few days have been super busy and slightly unproductive but I have made lots of great memories that I will always cherish. This past week has been full of the ups and downs and we are in the middle of trying to buy a house so that doesn’t help with the crazy but making memories with my little ones have been so rewarding over the last week. Like the other day, as crazy as it got there were some hilarious moments that had me rolling on the floor. For instance when I knocked over the corn mill on one of my cats in the kitchen while trying to make snacks for the kids and put up groceries, along while the kids are running throughout the house with the video game blaring in the background. Yes those are the funny yet crazy moments that I love. No matter how crazy your day can get there is always a way to turn around that moment into a cherished one. Cherish the moment, scrap book it, take pictures, embrace it and enjoy it! I don’t want to regret I want to remember all the fun, the good, the excitement I have and will have with my kids. 🙂
