Be The Reason Someone Smiles Today



Today was a great opportunity to practice this life lesson; making others happy. It's so easy to make the people you love and have a really good relationship with happy! But when you are finally at that point in life that you just want to make everyone happy, that's when your true happiness takes place in your life. 
I will always say I never thought things would of turned out the way they are turning out for my little family and extended family. I always saw myself, since I had Kye, as a single mother doing this all by myself and being miserable about the situation I was in. It's crazy how different this really is turning out to be. I can easily go over to Kye's father's place to just hang out with his fiance and new baby just like we are all friends. It feels like I just have another group of friends to hang out with. Some times it feels super awkward because that is my ex and my son's father but something happened these past couple of months that have really changed my heart and my son's father's heart. I'm so happy God was working in me and helped me to just taking understanding to this situation and became open and loving. 
I love their son like he is my own and I have the best relationship with Rachael. It's slowly coming back together where my son's father and I can be able to just sit down and have a normal conversation and not feel any tension between us. Everything is just so good!

Today was Kye's father's birthday and over the past couple of weeks Rachael and I have been working on something special to give to him. This was the first time I think I have acknowledged his birthday since I had Kye. I was so angry at him and didn't want to see him happy at all. Now that God is the main source in my life, He has opened my eyes and my heart to just see and make others happy. The look on Kye's dad's face when he saw the cards and gifts we made him was priceless. I went out of the way to buy some food and we all sat down, our two little families, and became one and just had a nice dinner. Sometimes I just look in on the picture from afar and say to myself, people probably think this is the weirdest and most confusing situation ever! And honestly it can be. But the only thing that matters to me is the smiles on everyone's face! Everyone is finally happy, even me, on how things turned out. It's such a pleasure for me to see other's happiness. It's the best feeling in the world making others happy. 
Today really showed me how great my God is. How much He is truly working in my life. I never saw myself as the person I am today. I could of never worked myself into becoming this person. With God, He led the way and He made me a much happier and open person! I am so truly blessed to have these people in my life, positively this time around. It couldn't of worked out any better!

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...
