Life goes on (after a miscarriage)

As I sit here only days from what is supposed to be my due date, I am sad to see other pregnant friends posts on social media. Of coarse I am happy for them and love to see the videos of their bellies moving as their little blessing does flips. I am excited for them that they will be able to hold their babies very soon. It is crazy that I have almost anger toward the post of frustrated miserable pregnant people so ready to get this pregnancy over. I understand but wish I was in their shoes of not sleeping at night because my belly was too big instead of having moments where I awake just to sit in silence missing my baby or having to wake several times a night to pee and knowing this will prepare me for my infant waking up for feedings. But all the time knowing it's all worth it because I will see my babies beautiful face before I know it.  As the days, weeks, and months go by, after loosing my precious miracle I have learned life does go on. Sometimes I have to take it day by day and sometimes moment by moment but life is moving around me even when I am not moving from my moment. God is that good! I mean obviously right now is a good moment for me and I am able to see the blessings around me, but earlier I was blowing my nose and wiping tears from a short video of a sweet friends belly.

I also understand that my loss doesn't effect very many others and especially not in the same way. I am very grateful for my husband who is very strong and is especially strong and understanding for  and of me when I do have moments. I am thankful to have a few close friends who listen to me even when they pray they never have to experience what I am feeling. I am so happy that God gave me my other children. I am so excited that I am a child of God because I can't imagine how I would cope with the pain I feel with out my faith in Him! He has carried me through my lowest moments! And he continues to be here for me always!  I don't pretend that I am happy all the time but who is happy 100% of the time anyways! Although I do praise God especially in my good moments for letting me see how far I have came. And for knowing I will continue walking and standing strong because he is with me! So if you see me brake down in tears over something you don't think has anything to do with losing a baby or you see me tear up when I look a your pregnant belly  

or your beautiful newborn, know I am so happy for you and I thank God for giving you the best gift! If you think I hold my other children too much or hug and kiss them a lot, or if you think I have a lot of patience with them it is because I am well aware of how fast life can go.

I want to enjoy the moment when I hold my 3 yr old or if I am watching my 13 yr old putting on her make up or hugging my son until he pulls away or if I have a hard time knowing my 17 yr old will be leaving the nest before I know it. I want to saver every single moment God gives me with them.

And if I could give one piece of advice to any parent, I would say hold your babies for as long as you can, hug until they pull away, and really enjoy every single stage your child goes through. Really pick your battles! Really show them love!!! God gave them to us only for a time. Love them to death! 

Out of the country adventure for my child!

This was written a while ago but just now finishing it and posting it!!!!!!!!

My daughter left this morning for her 1st mission trip and it is out of the country. (I haven't ever been out of the country) I am going through all of the emotions.... Happy, proud, sad, scared, excited, and even missing her already. On top of my daughter age 16 leaving us for about a dozen days. (leaving 2 days after Christmas, not coming home until after New Years and her 17th birthday) I also just went through a miscarriage less than 2 weeks ago. Part of me is feeling like I now have 2 less kids. Obviously it's not the same. Katie will be coming home when her mission is done. But my sweet little angel baby (Baby Tiny) will not be coming back. So I am surprised at how I am feeling today. Before I lost my baby I was super excited for my daughter and really felt so much peace.

After my miscarriage I felt a lot of fear for my daughter going and not coming home to me. With God's help I was able to take her where she needed to be and barley cried (&I am a crier). Let me mention that I do have a 2 yr old (along with 2 other children) that keeps a smile on my face and keeps me busy. I am very much looking forward to the day she comes home and being able to hear about all of her experiences. Please keep her and her team in your prayers. 

She is in Dominican Republic for 10 days. Since I had to drop her off 6 hrs away, I took her the day before she left and I will be picking her up 6 hours away the day after she gets back since it will be so late when she gets back.

I miss my Katie Bug! Even my hubby is missing her so much! He is taking her growing up a little harder than me lol

She makes us so proud! I am so glad that she has a good relationship with the Lord! I plan on posting after she gets home! She sent us a photo the other day. 

I think she is enjoying herself! I know she was excited to dive into the culture over there and share her life with them. She wants to be used by God and this time it was in a different way than normally. I think she will be making many more trips to many more places and sharing God's word with as many people she can. 

Essential Oils

I wanted to share today about a love of mine! I officially started the Young Living team Sept. 2015! I am now in the process of getting serious and building my business! I have used essential oils for years now. I put it in my homemade cleaners first. When I found out that there were different types of these oils I got very interested in learning more. I always want to do the best for my family and dislike chemicals. I don't want them in my body or my family's. Of coarse we do get some but we are working our way to a better life. Young Living essential oils have something that made me smile. They (we) have Seed to Seal which is amazing! Please ask me and I would love to take some time and tell you what this means.  There are so many oils.

Whoever has been wondering about this "new" thing... Let me just tell you oils have been around since the beginning. Look in the Bible and do some research. Count how many times it mentions oils. Young Living has many many oils. Frankincense is mentioned in the bible.


When hosting a class, you are basically just supplying a place for me to teach. Then invite your friends. A class doesn't have to have a certain amount of guest.  You can chose what time works for you and your guest. You can have little snacks. Sometime I will also have some others coming and sometime I will be bringing an oily snack.  I will teach and give everyone some information. What you do with the information is up to you. I suggest praying before your class (maybe even before you invite people)  If you are comfortable with it I can also open up the class with a prayer.

Your friends and yourself deserve to hear the information that I will be saying.  It's not secret, I love God and some of what I say is really just an extension to what God says in the bible about taking care of your temple (body). Again, what you do with the information is up to you. God also gave us the gift of choice. You may not do anything with it but soak it in. That is ok. Enjoy getting together and fellowship with your friends and family.

I hope you enjoyed this post and read my older posts! I hope you enjoy my blog and am still looking forward to eventually starting vlogging soon. Obviously I didn't start at the new year but it will happen in the near future!

Thanks for reading!

mending a broken heart

The past couple days I have felt pretty good! I am able to stop be quit being so emotional about everything and try to live life with out sitting and staying in sadness. I am faithful! And I know God is faithful. He will see me through my grief and he is doing this. I have had to put one foot in front of the other and go on living. With 4 other kids, a house, a husband, and lots of things to do I have no choice. (actually I do I could just sit in my tears and let this ruin not only my future but my entire family's life) I have to go on and just know I will see my baby again someday! Baby Tiny is now our guardian angel. With the holidays and with my oldest having a mission from God to do. I realized things really do revolve around me in a way. Have you hear the saying if mama an't happy ant nobody happy. Well it's true a mother is the home manager especially when I am a stay at home and homeschool mother. The days I just did nothing and sulked, not a lot was getting done. Life doesn't run very smoothly when the mother is not able to manage at her job.  

I am surprised in a way at how much at peace I am right now. With that being said it has only been a couple of weeks since baby tiny left us to go to heaven I am sure I will have my moments. But I think that is part of mending your heart it will never be exactly the same as before. It has been altered. But we learn a new way to go. I new way to walk.

My doctor called today and said I have to go in for more blood work because my levels are not down to what she wants them to be. The are at 69 and she wants them below 5. Hopefully this will be the last check, I just want to be able to move past the doctor stuff. 

Through everything I have became stronger and more aware of people around me! Life is precious and we all have a purpose! Lets set our eyes upon the Lord!!!!
