Now that Kylie is asleep for the night.... By night i mean for the next two to three hours I have time to write a little better of a blog, Just some of my thoughts... these past 5 or so weeks have made me realize.
I might preach a little so stop reading now if you don't want to hear it. :)
God has a plan for everyone. I truly believe that! Life is not always easy and your not always going to be happy. I know that! One day almost two years ago i just had the urge to move and to start a new life for myself, I sold all of my furniture, packed up my clothes, animals and some other small stuff and moved to North Carolina, I had no job lined up here i didn't know anyone but my brother and sister in law, But there wasn't one time where i questioned moving here. The funny (well not funny) part is , I was and still am soooo close to my family, I would go to my sisters house just about everyday, those boys (my nephews )were (and still are) the world to me. I would see my mom at least 3 times a week , and often have awesome dinners at my dads! I thought to my self why in the world would i move sooo far from them? Well it wasn't long after i moved here (maybe 2 weeks) that i met Scott, He (and still is) Perfect to me! We seemed like the perfect couple right from our first date... (and still do) :) We have so much in common and love the same things (relaxing) :) I thought to myself ...well this is part of gods plan for me... it was very obvious... then not long after we moved in together, and not long after that we were pregnant! And now little miss is here! There isn't a night that goes by that i don't look at kylie and pray and thank god for EVERYTHING he has blessed me with in this past year or so. I am sooo lucky and so blessed to have such a great life and i don't want to take it for granted. My sister sent me a quote a while ago and i repeat it to my self often, " there once was a boy who cried because he had no shoes until he met a boy with no feet"
I have a couple of family members that are having some health issues and it scares me... but at the same time, i (they) have to have faith and know that god also has a plan for them and it will all be OK! There are always going to be obstacles, and challenges in life, alot of the time its really bad, i have dealt with some hard times, and thought my life was never going to be good... and that is what i believe is gods way of bringing you closer to him. It may be easy for me to say that... because I'm not the one suffering, and i feel guilty about that and at some times don't know what to say or how to act, so this is my way of letting them know it WILL be OK and it will all work it, Just like the quote be thankful for what you have because it could always be worse no matter what the situation is. I hope i didn't offend anyone in this blog. I just wanted to share, i don't want anyone to think that i think I'm perfect or that i know it all... cause i certainly don't that is not the case by any means ... I just know that when i am down or when I'm discouraged it helps me to know that i can pray and that it will eventually get better.
Its funny how we think we can plan our life, and we think we may know what the future holds, but in all honesty you don't know what tomorrow will be like, Its good to have goals , hopes and dreams, but you have to be prepared that there may be a bend in the road and eventually you will be on the right path no matter where it guides you.
