Pouring It All Out


I am so blessed. 

More and more I am realizing how happy I am that certain things did not work out for my liking (at the moment). A piece of my past was brought up a couple days ago which helped me see what I could of had. I tried so had to make life go the way I wanted it to go. Once it came to my knowledge that God is in control and He knows what is best for my life, I finally stepped back and just gave everything over to Him.
Every time I had the urge for my past and wanted to bring back what we use to have, I always thought of the good. That's common though, we don't really like to dwell on the bad aspects of life, so we try to overrule the bad with the good. Well, I definitely struggled with missing the good in everything. In trying to get my past back I focused on all of the good.
Lately, I have been able to see that it isn't just the good I would of gotten. I would of gotten that worse as well! I would of gotten the selfishness, lying and rude remarks. 

God saved me from another heart break. He showed me that He has much better plans for my life and that I just need to put all of my trust in Him and believe that I am worth more than my wants. If I got what I wanted, I guarantee that I would dealing with what I did in the past. Everyone has baggage and I can't make them leave it at the door. In the same sense, I can't change some one who doesn't want to be changed. Don't get me wrong, I believe people can change for the better, but that is only between God and that person. I learned that the hard way. 

God has such a wonderful plan for my life and my son's. After I put everything into God's hands, I have been so much happier and satisfied. Two things I would of never gotten out of getting it my way. 
If you are holding onto something that only you want, try letting it go and not forcing it. Maybe your liking might turn out to be what you really don't need. Believe and trust that God has such great plans for you, because ultimately, He does! He loves you and doesn't want anything but the best for you. 

Jeremiah 29:11 says '"For I know the plans I have for you"' declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"'

God's plans are so much greater than yours. Find it in you to give it all over to God and I promise and so does He, that He will not leave you disappointed.

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?

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...
