2019 has been oh so
good to me and mine..
So many have been
posting on social media on how 2019 was not kind and how it broke them.
And it
makes my heart sad for them.
We have had some of those rough
years, but we are thankful for a good year full of love, blessings and good
things for our babies.
Trav and I both had
a bit of a health scare, from the ugly c word, to maybe having a heart issue..
but standing on our faith and having good doctors and praying family and
friends we both have been cleared.🙌
If ya follow me on
Facebook, than you already have heard plenty about 2019 being graduation season
for us.
The twin fellas
graduated from college and moved back home and started their great careers at
wonderful companies. I am enjoying this time with them, family dinners and many
game nights because this momma sure missed them while they were away. And I
know it won’t be long before they buy their first homes. (no hurry guys)
Our baby graduated
from high school and moved away to college and is continuing her education for
her future career. And is loving the college life. She has made some great friendships and found a wonderful church. I Still Miss Her…
Our Oldest bought
their first home and lives just 5 minutes away from us, where we get to see our
grandbabies a lot! So thankful for this, as we love having them close.
Trav and I still
have great jobs, where we have an easy 20 min drive with no traffic and
we don’t dread going to work each day. We love our bosses and co-workers and we
know how blessed we are to have that.
My momma found a
new dr who is helping treat her symptoms for her condition and I am thrilled to
say she has been leaving the house more and has a smile on her face again. I
have missed this. We enjoy my parents at church on Sunday mornings and lunch
after.. Unfortunately there are still some bad days, but I am still believing
that they go away.
Been thinking a lot
about 2020..
I was asked what 2019 taught me, and I am excited to say I
conquered a bit of a battle in my head.
I have accepted that I have no control
over how people act or treat me. I used to chase people and even when they
treated me or mine like crap I would get offended than beg them or convince
them that we are good people. I would react instead of respond.
But I got
tired.
Now, I have
accepted that I can only control how I act and how I treat people in my life.
I
can only control the kind of wife, mom, Nana, daughter and friend that I am.
I mean I am already an amazing wife, but I
guess I could make a few adjustments..😜
I want to be the
kind of Nana that I wanted my kiddos to have growing up. One that is heavily involved in my grandbabies lives. And I pray that my
children become the kind of aunts and uncles that will be involved in each others lives. So far they are showing great signs of knocking that role out.
I find myself praying more and more about the future spouses that
my kids will marry one day.
That they are kind, patient, strong, thoughtful, fun to be around and
loving. That they love Jesus and will love my kiddo and their siblings. I pray
that the relationship between me and them is good. I really desire that with
all my being. I want to love them like they were my very own.
I desire to be
the kind of friend that I want to have. I have some sweet friends, and so
thankful for them. I just hope that they know how much they mean to me.
Sooo 2020 is going
to be more about my relationships.
Healthy Relationships..
I want to be a
better me.
Be more intentional about loving my people.
And I encourage you to
give yourself a good review. See where you want to change or need to make some
adjustments. If you are continuing to find yourself in a rut or searching for
answers, or feeling unfulfilled than I encourage you to find a good church home. I promise that it
helps you deal with life. God will find a way to minister to your heart. To
heal your hurts.. He will send the right people into your life. Because no one
needs to do life alone. It’s just not healthy. Surround yourself with good
people. People who will love you on the good and bad days. The kind who will
drop everything and pray for you. The kind who encourage you and are bold
enough to tell you when you are doing wrong. The kind who will check on you
when they notice you have been quiet..
Life is just much more sweeter when you
are doing it with good people in your corner.
