Today on Sept 21st I celebrate being 6 months pregnant and the
realization of my beauty, who I am, who I want to be and who I will be
slowly has become more apparent to me almost daily. More then anything
in this world do I want to meet my baby girl, I feel so often that I
miss her, I want to know who she is, I want to know what she about...and
for the first time I have come to reality that she is all mine, that
how I raise her, how I teach her, and what she will be is up to me. How
that makes me SO excited, and overwhelming at the same time to know what she will be is all up to me and what I introduce her too. It makes me want to find different things that
she will become someone loves herself as she IS and doesn't need anything else to determine what she will be. I want her to be someone who wants to help people and has her priorities of what really is important, wants to be
everyone's friend no matter where they come from or what they look like, who SHINES and will be a dancer that can express herself thru the
words of her body that isnt used in a negative way. That she will laugh and smile and enrich others
lives, that she will keep her heart open and pure. Can you picture it? It overwhelms my heart with so much joy that I get to be so blessed.
In all those feelings of wanting this for my daughter, I find myself asking the questions on the opposite end of all this, cause lets be real not every single day is easy, not every day leaves me feeling like its gonna be simple. So these are the kind of things that run thru my mind when I dont talk about what it is I am thinking about... Have you ever just sat there wondering if anyone cared about you? How
could your problems matter to someone, when as worse as it gets for you,
is a simple feeling of being lonely, frustrated and just plain
emotional...but you know as much as I want to say those are simple
feelings, they really are complex. They take alot of will power, self
control, learning when to speak up and when not too but also to know HOW to act upon them, where am I suppose to go with them. It has taught me
when to reach out and when I need to figure things out for myself. I
haven't always been the greatest example of how relationships should be
handled, its part of why I sit in the situation I do...where everything isnt perfect, where it isnt in a marriage and the "fairy tale" ending. You know in a perfect world I would of planned my life out differently then I have lived it, but you know when I look at how AMAZINGLY blessed I am, from the things given to me without a second thought, strangers who dont even know me reach out, when I have had to apply more faith to the outcome of things then my fear, to know that I am healthy and continue to be, that whenever there are road blocks, there is always a way around, over it or under it. That thinking things could get worse, only limits us to what is going right....and in all of these things I have found my new dream, my new found Hope, but more then ever who God is to me and how incredible it is to me that he cares SO deeply and not once does he change that due to our choices, struggles or circumstances. He stays loving, kind, teaching us to be our best and putting people in our paths for the simple reminder, he loves us and that'll never change.
I know reading this it probably has reminded you that you have felt like some of the greatest things you have in your life or have been apart of your life, can seem to good to be true... at some point in your life... So I want you to try something that I have often caught myself doing by pulling my mind of the train of thought and find what 'Hope' feels like again by seeing it thru the sun shining,
the birds that peck at the floor to find food, ducks that let water just
flow off their back freely. In all of that, I have captured those little
moments of simplicity, my baby girls feet, kick to the lower part of my
belly, to have her put her butt up in the corner of my belly just to get
comfortable, to feel every moment that I celebrate her becoming. To
have a chance to crave foods I use to hate and to open my world to
another world of food. That to me is no doubt that a God does exist, to always remind us the details really do matter to him.
