Embracing My Climb

Being a mom is my full time job but there are times in my life that I think about the what ifs. Life in general is a constant battle with oneself and others around you. A family is layered with multiple personalities, problems, triumphs, sadness, struggles and at times chaotic. I want to just give up and run away where I can just be the woman in my what ifs!

Then remorse sets in and I comprehend that no one can Love my family like I do! No one can tend to them like I do. I realize that I am wife and mother to this family.

So, the other day my children and I watched the Hannah Montana movie and that song The Climb resonated in my heart. Sometimes you get a reality check from the least expected source but it is always at the right timing!

That is why I know that it should not be about what is waiting for me on the other side but on how I climb my mountain. I have to embrace myself, my motherhood, my life!

Autumn of Love

Life at my house has been complicated! Things here have been somewhat crazy and that's why I have been away for a while. My patience and faith have been tested.

On a different note, tomorrow is the beginning of Autumn and it is my favorite season! I love the temperature, the way the trees look in all their splendid colors, having fun apple picking with my kids, and knowing that God has created this beautiful season just for me.

All my children, I mean just my two oldest have been born on this season. My baby girl was supposed to be born in late October but she was premature. As you can see, fall has a special place in my heart. Also, my husband and I began our friendship during this time and is still going strong!
