I’m not sure about you, but do you ever feel like you’re
sometimes too blessed? That God has given you way more than you deserve? Well,
that’s how I have been feeling for quite some time now. I feel an abundance of
blessings in my life and my family’s life. I feel so grateful, but so unworthy.
It’s hard to explain, but it feels like things just keep getting better and
better.
When Trevor and I first got married, we were young. Things
were stressful. It was all new to us and we had to figure it out. I look back
on those days and realize we were truly blessed, but at the time it was just so
hard. I was working full time, going to school full time, had some drama filled
people in my life and had a husband who I tried to be a great wife too. Now I
look at my life at the present time and I have more than I could ever ask for.
I still have that awesome husband, no more dramatic friends/people surrounding me
(in fact I have the best group of friends ever), I have a job/hobby that I
LOVE, the best family in the world and a little boy who is a hair shy of being
perfect.
I was thinking the other day that I truly am blessed and
happy. I am the happiest I have ever been in my whole life. For real. I was
thinking about this while I was working on numerous embroidery orders and
getting things together for Tanner’s party. I was stressing out over how I was going
to get all of this done…not to mention when was I going to clean my dirty house
and find time to cook supper and actually have a second to spend with my hubs.
But that all quickly faded when I thought about how some people would give anything
to be stressed about having too many orders or planning their child’s birthday
party. Not everyone gets to enjoy their fave hobby. Or not everyone has the opportunity
to have children and actually throw a birthday party. Sometimes God just smacks
me back into reality and I thank Him for that. Thankfully, I hardly ever feel
stressed. I sometimes think I am superwoman and I can do it all. I give it my
all and try. But sometimes I do get overwhelmed. New motto though…I am too
blessed to be stressed.
I’m not really sure what prompted me to write this mom post,
I guess so many prayers have been answered lately and I just want to scream
about how truly happy I am. And most importantly about the amazing God who
provides me with all of this happiness. Don’t get me wrong though, I do have
bad days. I do get cranky when I’m hungry and I do have little arguments with
my husband and I do get irritated when my son disobeys, but that’s like chump
change compared to all of the positives going on in my life. I guess the saying
that ‘the older you grow the wiser you get’ (or however it goes) is true. I
know what’s important in my life nowadays. It’s not friends who will bring me
down or a job that sucks the life out of me or stressing over money. It’s about
surrounding myself with those that I love. It’s about making my life here on earth
the best that I can.
Speaking of amazing friends, Tanner and I had lunch with one
of my dear old co-workers (who is such a sweet friend of mine). He LOVES her
and wanted to ditch his mom and go home with her. I def have my next babysitter
lined up :))
