October Daze

So I recently noted that I have not posted since August 1st, and if you saw my blue calender you would understand why. I am enjoying working for the school I am working for, I am learning how to be a yearbook teacher instead of a yearbook doer. The church has been good, just trying to adjust to being involved only in the youth--- and not having anyone around my age. I am juggling pretty well. I got really stressed out when I did not get to be home much at the end of September/ the first few weeks of October. Things are finally starting to settle down/ in. I am finding home in my classroom and in our youth room.

I was told by a co- worker about a week ago, " I wonder where you will be a year from now?" and I jokingly said, " Painting another Noahs Ark mural." She said she was expecting me to fly out of the pre-school into bigger and better things. The whole time I am thinking she is trying to kick me out and she doesnt know what God has planned ( and neither do I). I have tried to stop guessing what God is doing and going to do, He is the GREAT SURPRISER! <3 I am praying for understanding with professors, clarification through my growth as a communicator, and love as I mess up : )

My new goal is to use the Lords Prayer as a basis for a prayer journal. Writing and doodling brings peace in stressful thought processes, and in hopes to better give it all to Him, I am going to try to notate it all.

Until the Next Surprise : )

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...
