Change…such a powerful word in so many ways.
(So this was actually written February 7, 2015 and I am just getting to post it for various reasons.)
I haven’t got to write a blog in a very long time so I decided while I had a moment I would jot down some of my thoughts and events from the last year or so.
Well to begin with a lot has changed in the past year of my life. There are many different perspectives of the word “change”. Some examples may include: 1)Physical, 2)Mental, 3)Spiritual, 4)Lifestyle, 5)Love, 6)Etc…
Within the last year of my life my husband and I have had our first child, a baby boy! This is a huge change in our lives in many ways, takes some adjusting, but we have been blessed and are very thankful! Becoming a mother is truly amazing and such an awesome thing! When you have a baby you meet a whole new kind of love, one that you have never ever experienced before, a great thing! Starting a family, becoming a mother, most definitely the biggest change I have experienced ever! I truly love being a mother! There are several new challenges you face once you become a mother. You change physically for sure and it takes work and effort for sure to get back to your previous body prior to carrying a child and giving birth (I have about 10 lbs to go and a lot of toning.). You become both physically and mentally exhausted, but then you see that precious baby look up at you and smile and are reminded it is oh so worth it! We have a whole new lifestyle now and our priorities have changed! I am working on growing spiritually as well and I just want my son to know all about Jesus and become a gentleman some day and truly realize right from wrong and just know (I don’t know how to explain what I am trying to say.). Becoming a mother has been truly amazing, I love it, I wouldn’t want it any other way! Some things you just can’t explain until you experience it yourself.
Just general things/thoughts:
Sometimes in life I feel like I am drowning. Part of me feels so dead but then again part of me feels so alive. I don’t really know how to describe things or tell it so I am going to use some pictures to help me out. While I was in Kijabe, Kenya I came across this tree which was so magnificent/spectacular to me, it had so much meaning to me, like it was just talking to me.
It tells me to never give up and just keep fighting your way through life. If you hit a slump battle your way back out and prove your alive and still going. In life sometimes we get down and feel like we are dying inside but then we are reminded you must keep fighting.
Always find the positive side of things, it is there, just find it!
Beautiful thought. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ruth! I miss you!
