First of all I want to tell you all that the situation with Kat's school has been resolved. The teacher was great and appreciated me being forward with her.
Okay now....
I am having a really hard time right now. Actually my family is going through alot right now. My best friend Lauren is going through a really bad divorce. Well her soon to be ex and his parents are accusing her and my husband of having an affair. I know this is not true and I want everyone else to know the same thing. Steve is a wonderful Christian man and a great husband and father. I know deep in my heart that he would never do anything like that. We both take our wedding vows very seriously. I want you all to know that if you hear anything about Steve it is NOT TRUE.
I am having a hard time keeping a good Christian attitude about the whole thing. I am trying hard not to hate anyone but at this point it is really hard. My friend's ex's parents hate Steve and me. They have even told her that. They really have no reason except for the following reasons....1. My friend and I met in a post partum(sp?) support group. and 2. Steve and I are members of the Church of Christ. I know this is just a test and it will pass. Please pray for me and my family. Please pray that God will help me through this and help me have the strength and courage to stand up for what is right. Thank you for letting me get this out.
You know this time of year is very nice for most of us. My kids are really looking forward to Christmas. We also enjoy spending time with our families. We have started a tradition with our family(meaning Steve, me and the girls) We don't go anywhere on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. We started this last year. Kat loved making cookies for Santa and waking up the next morning to see if he ate them and if the reindeer ate the fruit cup she left. It is very exciting to see the look on the kids faces we they see what "santa" brought them. After we open gifts Steve and I fix a big brunch. His parents and brother come and stay Christmas Eve also. It is really nice spending time with our kids like that. These years go by so fast I don't want to waste a minute of them.
There is one thing that kinda bothers me. As most of you know Kat is in preschool this year. Well she came home the other day and said "Mommy it's Jesus' birthday" I was caught off guard not knowing exactly what to say. Well I told her that some people believe that but that the Bible doesn't tell us when He was born. I told her that we are thankful for Jesus everyday and celebrate His birth everyday not just once a year. She came home a couple of days later and said "Mommy I told Ms.Mary that it's not Jesus' birthday." I asked what she said and Kat said "She said Yes it is" How do you explain this to a four year old? I guess this is only the beginning of the battle. I know there will be many other trials in her educational future.
Why do people only become religious at Christmas and Easter? Is that the only time it is important? I don't understand why this is the only time some even step foot in a church building. I think we need to thankful for Christ everyday not just around the holidays.
Well I made it through yesterday pretty good. Today has been harder than yesterday for some reason. I guess it is really hard because of the hollidays coming up. Also I am going to Kentucky on Thanksgiving with my mom to see my grandma. She is very sick and we haven't been on very good terms over the last few years. I am going to be away from my kids for Thanksgiving, but I really need to go see my grandma. It is going to be a very hard situation to be in up there. I am praying that we can go see my grandma and that be it. I am praying that we can avoid seeing the aunt that has caused all the trouble. Oh well we will all pray for the best.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!! Have a great time and enjoy family and friends.
Well it has been almost 3 years since we lost baby David. I can't believe it has been three years. It seems like only yesterday. I remember going in for a routine checkup only to find my baby had gone. I remember how alone I felt at that time. I didn't know how I was going to be able to make it. Thanks to God, my family and my friends I did make it through. I think about David everyday. I miss him so much. I remember holding him in my arms and counting each toe and finger. He was so tiny. He was no bigger than my had. I remember asking why?? Well I guess I will never know exactly why. Some things just happen. I know where he is. I know he is in Heaven waiting for me. I know he is being loved and taken care of.
Please remember to keep me in your prayers over the next week. This time of year is always hard on me. I pray that God will grant me the strength to make it through this. I pray that he will remind me that I have a wonderful husband and two wonderful little girls and that if I live as he has told me to I will see David again one day.
hello...you don't know me, nor I you, but I clicked on your name through the cake decorating group. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am of your loss. To lose a child is the hardest trial a person could ever go through. My brother, who was 18, died one year ago yesterday. Apart from my grief is what I see my mother going through. My heart aches for you. Time will soften the sting of pain.
On a happier note...I do cakes on the side as well! I make more basic layered cakes/desserts for different occasions. I am contemplating taking the Wilton classes at Michaels. It is a fun hobby and a great way to make some extra $$! May I ask where you and your family live? Take care!
Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. So much has been going on in my life. I finished my cake class and I enjoyed it more than anything. It was so much fun. I have decided that I would really like to do this on the side to make a little extra money. If anyone knows someone who needs a cake please give them my name:)
I will try to post some pictures of my cakes when I figure out how to do it on her.
On another note I have to vent a little bit.
So many people are upset about the recent election, as am I. I have heard some people talk about their reasons for voting the way they did. Some say they decided to vote for Obama because they had issues with McCain picking a woman to be his vice president. Okay I totally agree that I wasn't happy about that.I don't think a woman should be in that position, but in my case I choose the lesser of two evils. Obama is for things that I am very against and I feel like are against God. For example he is for abortion which I have BIG problems with, and gay marriages which is against God.
Some say that McCain might not have the right to be in the marriage he is in but at least that is not something that is going to affect us. Abortion and gay marriage can affect us all. For example I read something last night posted by a friend, that talks about our tax dollars being spent for abortions. I am not sure of all the details but that really does bother me.
I for one don't one penny of my money going to support that.
Okay I will get off my soapbox now.
