Life.... From my point of view.

I don't know why but I have really been thinking about my life lately. I have been overcome by the experiences that have continued to come into my life to help me grow.
I have been faced with trials absolutely, I have had my heart broken not just by boys but also by loved ones. I have felt I have had to struggle to get anything I have ever wanted.... However I am more happy, stronger and at peace with my life and the choices I have made. I have always believed with all of my heart that everything happens for a reason. Call it destiny, call it faith or call me crazy but I just know it with all of my being.
So why have I sometimes doubted things that won't happen to me that are really for the best?
Many of you know I have wanted to graduate school for a long time but thing after thing has kept me from this goal. The spring semester is coming up and I didn't think I would be able to go because I couldn't pay off my tuition fast enough. Parker and I have really  been working hard and getting our finances in order, we have paid off a lot of debt off this year! But while we are doing that we ran out of time with the spring semester quickly approaching.
So I panicked, why me why did this happen again? Literally a few days later I get a text from my Dad and step Mom saying they would help pay for my tuition Holy cow! I was so happy, thankful and filled with peace.
I don't know why I doubt anything in my life... I literally have the most powerful person on my team, Heavenly Father. The greatest teammates I could have ever hoped for, Parker, family and friends! I can't thank these guys enough for the constant love and support I receive daily. I an truly blessed beyond measure.
So I guess the real question is why had my fears been bigger than my faith? I am really going to work on this and remember I am being watched over and everything happens for a reason!

Free to dream in a marriage!

Our four year wedding anniversary is coming up and because of that our marriage has been on my mind. I know marriage can be a personal topic but I also think it can be therapeutic to talk about marriage.  Parker and I have definitely had our ups and downs but one thing that has stayed constant and that is, we are constantly growing and working each day to make our marriage better.  We have been through a lot like almost too much to handle but somehow we always come out on top. I recently had an epiphany about the past five years we have been together. We got together when we were twenty years old and according to research that is the prime age to really find who you are. So we got married and Parker was focusing on himself and I was focusing on the marriage.  The next few years I saw Parker blossom he kept receiving raises, losing weight, and just all around being confident in himself and becoming better. Well I literally lost myself I was finding the weight Parker was lo...

Jags

As I have gone back to work full time I often wonder what I miss with Jagger during those 6-10 hour days. The days used to be our special time to learn, go on adventures and just spend time with one another. Now we try to cram those special moments at night and on the weekends. It's so difficult to be away from him but I am full of gratitude that our bond has stayed intact and that he is so well taken care of by my mom and Jeff.  I feel like I need to document the small things about Jagger because eventually those will be the big things as I look back on them. I love this quote and it pretty much sums up how I feel about my babe... “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” Jagger is such a social butterfly and has no fear of being himself and showing himself to the world. How I admire this and hope he will keep this confidence through out his life. He smiles and says "Hi" to everyone he comes in contact with and truly i...

Passenger Seat

Autopilot.... My life feels like it is continuing to move and I am in the passenger seat praying that I don't get hit and hoping I can just coast. It's that checked out feeling and being aware of it but not knowing if you really want to be in the driver seat because you may end up just crashing. It's difficult knowing which one is better right now and maybe it's about recognizing that whether you're the passenger or the driver if you get in an accident you get hurt regardless.      It's interesting how tricky our brain can be about giving us a false sense of hope and to be quite honest, I am surprised my brain still seeks out hope. I heard once that "hope is a discipline" and I'm not sure I have that discipline right now. It's confusing and there's a lot of uncertainty right now in this unpredictable world, fear based motives and personal turmoil as humans. It makes sense why our world is the way it is we are all unsure and living in fear i...
