lost in the jungle of summer

Between school school and church, life has been tumbled about.
I would not change a thing, I have enjoyed even the hard points.
I do wish I had taken a minute or two to rest, but I will do it when I am older and can not walk any longer ( teehee).
I was reminded of an awesome song that talks about this today by Laura Story

"Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?"

I think sometimes it is easiest to go to God in the tough points of the day and pour out our complaints only- but we need to remember to be thankful in those moments TOO because we are learning and growing from them just as well as the happy times.
When ever a hard point arrives I try to remember to hug it and say, " If God brings us to it, He will bring us through it!"

I have really taken this to heart recently because I had been struggling with accepting an offer I had recieved for a job when I knew it may close doors for my husband. Praise the Lord two days after my official offer from the BIG BOSS, I found a posting that would allow my husband and I to stay in San Antonio and both have our dream jobs. Last night his door opened and we are getting prepared to walk though it together : ) Sunday we will visit the church he will serve as youth minister.

Our journey is just beginging and I am happy that I have great people around us to enjoy it with.

till the next blessing,
A

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...
