Changes is the topic for me on this Monday morning. We are getting ready to wrap up this month soon-where has the time gone? I sit here and shake my head wanting things to slow down if only for a few minutes so I can stop and smell those roses! I am a mommy, I am a wifey, I am learning to love cooking, I am finding a renewed relationship with God that has given me peace about so many things I cannot even begin to explain. When we moved to Florida I knew I had to find a church home, that was Priority-the trio loves to go as do I but my love and want for a church home went out the "box" so to speak. I needed to make friends, put myself out there and as of late that piece has not been easy. The once outgoing person has become a woman who misses her small support unit in Colorado, Friends that are scattered around the globe and missing my place that I "fit". I guess the term fish out of water suits me to a T at this point in my life. This last year brought a lot of things to light within my life, and for that I am forever grateful, despite the tough journey it has been! I have learned to remain positive even when I do not want to! I MUST remain positive and I MUST see things in a positive light...It is healthy! Back to church...I have been "test driving" a few churches but yesterday it hit me, and with tears streaming down my face as songs were being sung I knew I was "home"...Shoreline church is very easy going, and the music is simply AAAAAA-MAZING! Music has always been the key element for me, I bond with God over music. This church is awesome, very iviting and kind...With as rough as this transition has been with being a stay at home mom, a wife again, and a whole family unit has been...well....a transition. With church I AM HOME, my kids LOVE it and my heart is happy and full!
Next Florida has been different, my hair is a curly mess and most of you know I do not have much hair but an afro I do have! haha! We are planning an amazing trip with my parents and siblings in July to Orlando! My folks have been amazing and booked a beautiful villa for us all to stay in, to enjoy the beach, to bond, and to just BE. My little sister Hannah is graduating high school in May, my cousin is in May also, and my other little sister is graduating college in June-why yes I am proud! So many big things this year! I am still trying to find where I fit, where my place in this life is, and that can be tough for a mom, and wife, and woman in general. We are pulled in many different places, so much is expected of us and after we birth kids we must nourish them all the time and parenting from that point on never stops. I would not have my life any other way, except for perhaps a little bit more sleep! haha! Other than that Scarlett Rae, Kellan Gilmore and Violet Millie make me a better mommy, and Jason supports me-all 4 of these people are my life, my family, my blessings. The best thing I can say to you all is to support one another, support is vital to life, to living, to all. Be it a quick call, a text message checking in, a note, a smile...Support one another! I realize that I support those in my life because I want to, reach out on a limb my friends and give support, even if you may not agree with everything they do, say and the like...SUPPORT REGARDLESS.
Finally LOVE one another...Lately I have made it my mission to support and love regardless. It is easy to let "junk" get in the way but I refuse to let the junk win. Sure we all could use more money, a bigger/better home, that car we have had our eye on, the list is endless...I choose to be happy with what I have. I could get caught up in the negative of it all but once again I REFUSE. In the coming days/weeks/months my blog will take a turn a bit. It will have some information on Gluten free lifestyles since that is what my family and myself live with. I will give some of my favorite sayings, poems, etc...I will also put myself out there and show you all what I have been working on with all of my free time! (insert sigh, laughing!) I have been writing poems, some short, some long but all important none the less. I wish you all love and light on this Monday~ Make it great everyone!
I am posting a few pictures from a long time ago...That I came across this morning...Blessings and love all~
