My Life Within The Past Year

9/2/12

I've learned so much this past year. I have changed from an immature girl who didn't care where life was taking her, to a mother who will do anything to make her son's future the best. I fell in love and didn't even notice until it was too late. I lost the one person who I gave my all to but gain some one who will always need me. I cried more than I probably every have in my life between a mixture of good and bad; but mostly bad. I've learned I just have to take things how they are and stop trying to be in control of things. I've learned you are going to have heart breaks in life and some you just might never get over. 

Within the past year I am become a mother! One of the greatest things in my life. My pregnancy was far from what I would of ever wanted it to be. I imagine pregnancy being with the love of you life. Spending every moment with that person and experiences everything pregnancy has to give, with that person. It was the complete opposite. Arguing, being alone and having that one person you need there never being around. Missing them like crazy and knowing they don't even care about you or the situation. I know if I am ever wanting to have kids again I am going to make sure I know who the other person really is. I am not going to mess around with 'sex' until I know who I am with. Who he really is. I never want to experience such a wonderful time of pregnancy the way I did.

Within the past year I fell in love and didn't even notice. I spent such a great amount of time with one person who was the closet person to me. We had such a great time together. Always wanted to be together. But toward the end he started to drift away and I should of noticed that. I should of taken that as a hint but I didn't. I know now, and have known for the past couple months that I was in love and maybe far from not being in it anymore because of what I still feel. I can easily say when I have to be around him I don't feel what I use to feel but when he is gone, I miss him like crazy. I can hate him as much as I want but I don't think I will every stop loving him. People always ask me, "You still love him don't know?" My immediate answer is no. But come to think of it, how can I not love a person who is the father of my son, who I spent so much time with, who I care about so much, who I can not stop thinking about everything single day. My day revolves around constant thought of him and our past. Not a day goes by that I don't wish things were different. I wish I could understand why it is so hard for me to just forget. Why can't I have it as easy as him to just forget about what we had and move on with my life. One of the reasons why I think it's harder for me is because I have to wake up to a constant reminder of him. I wake up to a little face that looks just like him. I am with his son constantly and this is his absolute twin! This little boy brings me so much joy and happiness,  just like his father once did. I know what I have now, with my son, will never end the same way it did with his father. I believe that my son will always need me and I will always need him. I'm pretty sure I would not be as sane as I am if it weren't for my son. If things were how they are now with his father and my son wasn't here I really don't know where I would be in life. And to see how simple it is for his father to just want nothing to do with me, it kills me. Thank God I have my son to keep my 'in line'.

I've learned I can not and will not ever put all of my happiness, time and joy into one person (other than my son), because in a quick second that person can just up and leave out of fear or just because. It has always been hard for me to trust but now after what I have been through this year I believe it will be even harder to trust and be happy all together. 
I have learned to put everything in God's hand. I tried to control every situation but in the end it's obvious I don't have control over it, God knows the plan and I just need to let it happen. 

I really can't even finish this because I know all I want to talk about is the past and how I wish things were different. It kills me to even think about it, let alone talk about it.
Everything reminds me of you, literally everything because we did so much together. 
I hate how much you really don't even care.
I hate how much I over think this whole thing and I know it will never happen again.
I hate how my mind works.
I hate how much I don't trust that things will get better.

I have a whole lot to just leave in the past but that is the hardest thing for me to do.
I believe I am strong and I can get through this.
But in a way I don't want to let go of the past. 
=/

So with that said, I'm pretty much left with nothing but my son. Trust me that is the greatest thing in life but it gets lonely.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Image
Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
