Where to start! Maybe just by BREATHING!!
I feel like I have SO much to say, but no words? How does that make any sense?! So, lookout...this blog may be a conglomeration of things and venting.  
First, my beautiful babies! 
My bff just had a post about a "trying" day as a parent.. we all have those moments I am sure.. and this week it seems like has been especially trying, if not past couple of weeks for me! Lots of changes are going on for my whole family, but these two little ones sure bring SO much joy into my life & I feel blessed beyond measure that God has given them to me!!!

Secondly, besides the "trying" weeks that I have had.. the past three days or so takes the cake. Life seems completely turned upside down, nothing seems to make sense in my head, and everywhere I turn Im getting punches thrown to bring me down. Doubt, Fear, Insecurities have been a few which equal = emotional wreck = unhealthy reactions = feelings of inadequacy = bombed test! = a LOW state of mind = a VICIOUS cycle & battle over the flesh and Spirit!

SO, as I've reached a breaking point this evening while driving home from school, I decided to take God time in my car (which should have happened WAY sooner than now). I love having these moments where I turn everything off and really praise the Lord in Spirit & truth. He knows everything I am going through, beyond what I myself even comprehend I am going through. And in the midst of how I am feeling, God places a song on my heart to start praising Him with. I LOVE LOVE LOVE when this happens!


Thirdly, God is Good! 
In the good times and the bad- I know that God has my back! No matter where I am, God can come and give me a Spirit of Praise and thankfulness! God can take normal, everyday people like you and I to do extraordinary things. But often fear, doubt, insecurities, etc. fueled by excuses hinders us from accomplishing those things. We focus on why WE can't instead of WHO can!  "... greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world" 1 John 4:4. (this is a verse I turn to often) Don't let opinions and possibility of failure keep you from your purpose. Life is so short... and the clock is ticking to accomplish and do what God has set before us.
