Hello...It's me again.

I've neglected this page a bit. I apologize. It's not for a lack of thoughts or ideas, they're just all over the place and life moves so fast sometimes. It's been over a year...so here's a little life update-I got married to my best friend, got laid off...again, went back to school to pursue my dream, found out I was pregnant the 3rd week of school, completed by education, became licensed in my field, started a multifaceted business, gave birth, and shortly after got a couple of not so good diagnosis'.

Anyways, here I am! Still smiling, beautifully blessed and gracefully grateful! God knows what He's doing. Please don't take any of this as boasting, as that's the furthest from my intentions with this post. I simply want to share the beauty of God's handywork. Boasting in the Lord if you will. You've read my testimony (if you haven't, you might want to start there) so you know how dark it once was in my life. I had gotten to the point even after that where I kind of just thought "Well, the world's gone to crap so the end is probably near, so why try to do anything more than just be?" I found myself not looking to even entertain another relationship, sticking to my job, parenting my two children and just surviving. I was more than willing to just coast along like that until Jesus' return. I know, how silly is that?

I made a joke to my best friend that if neither of us were married by the time I turned 40 that we should just get married, he took that to a whole other level and wholeheartedly wooed me, we dated for a few months and he popped the question, fast forward two months later and we said to heck with a big wedding, ran to the courthouse and headed to the beach after! Dream wedding in my book. Life kicked us a little bit, I had a medical issue that almost costed me my life, thankfully God had His hands on it, but that left us with the impression that another child wasn't going to be in our future. We accepted that but still prayed anyways. Months went by, were all just living day by day and all of a sudden I get a call in the middle of my work day that the company was making some changes and unfortunately they couldn't keep me on anymore. So, I felt like I was back in that moment of my cheese being moved again (& if you haven't read that one, do) . I had this idea in my head for a long time of turning my hobby into a business, I just didn't feel like I had the time, but God said enough excuses. I got a call exactly a week later offering me a spot in the class I had been waitlisted for for over a year. I prayed for the means to pay and got everything situated and began my class. Three weeks later, I found out I was expecting. Two BIG blessings at one time. One, a dream I almost gave up on and the other a dream I had come to accept wasn't going to happen. That's God. Life is beautiful, even in a world of darkness. I know that the news, social media and all the dark evil of this world being exposed can put us in a place of fear, a place of "I shouldn't even try", a mindset where you just want coast through until His return, but we can't succumb to that. God has already won. God is in your corner. Pray nonstop, Accept the blessings He gives you, Be a good steward of those blessings, and enjoy your life. You never know how beautiful it is, until you fully surrender to God's plan for your life.

Until next time friends. It'll be soon, I promise. Just gotta gather some more thoughts.
