I Am Poem

Poems

I am creative and caring.
I wonder if I’ll live to be 199.
I hear the sound of my little baby girl singing.
I see love dancing in her eyes.
I want a spinning wheel.
I am creative and caring.

I pretend that I am a singer on a stage
I feel apprehensive and concerned.
I touch God’s hands in the sky.
I worry about my mom sometimes.
I cry when I think those that reject God’s love.
I am creative and caring.

I understand that people have their own choices.
I say that love changes people.
I dream of owning a great business that encourages others.
I try to think of other people’s feelings before I speak.
I hope my husband is alright.
I am creative and caring.

(The idea for this poem came from a prompt that my son had for a homework assignment)

Happy

By Leave a Comment

I am very happy right now.

I just wanted to take a moment to say that I really love spending time with my husband and family.

My kids say the funniest things.

We laugh.

Have our ups and downs.

It was freezing outside, but we had a great night.

I honestly couldn’t ask for anything else as a mom and wife.

I am honored to be so blessed with my husband and children.

Yes, I am thankful and happy.

What are you thankful and happy about?

Using Wisdom When Frustrated

By Leave a Comment

Just because I have a blog doesn’t mean that it’s ok for me to vent about my frustrations when I am upset. It doesn’t mean that I have to pretend that I’m ok, but I need to be wise. I need to act in a manner that would represent me. A way that I would be proud to stand before God and claim.

Why am I saying this?

Well, if you can’t already tell, I’m frustrated…and as much as I would love to explain why, I’m not going to. What I am going to discuss is how I’m going to handle my frustration.

Well, first of all. I’m taking the time to be alone. I’m sitting in the bathroom with the shower water running. Yes, I’ll be getting I. The shower soon, but I needed to do this first. I’m going to take a moment to myself.

Next I’m going to pray…selah…
Yup, I just stopped and prayed.

I’m doing my best not to complain about the situation because I read a a scripture this morning that discouraged arguing and complaining. It was Philippians 2:14, 15

14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

As I meditate on this scripture, I’m going to take a shower. Maybe that will help me cool down a bit. I’m going to take care of myself. That always helps a bit when things are frustrating.

While in the shower, I prayed again. I quieted my soul and mind. I felt like God was saying that I didn’t need to worry because he would take care of the situation.

After getting out, I told myself that I had given the situation to God and was not going to go back and get it. I am now ok. I’m not worried, frustrated, or angry.

The key was trusting God. There are times when this is harder than others, but it’s apart of my foundation.

This is how I do it. I hope it helps someone.

Taking A Moment

By Leave a Comment

Today was a rather stressful day. My back was hurting all day. I had relational issues with a friend. My kids had their moments, as all do.

Since there was so much going on, I has to sit down and rest. That wasn’t a short term thing. This is the type of rest means I’m not cooking. I’m ordering pizza. I am going to take a seat. After giving baths, I’ll be resting for the rest if the night.

In order to process my feelings and not snap on anyone, I am going to do what I know will help me. I’m going to pray and journal.

What do you do when you have a stressful day?

Mom-Works, Mom-Student, or SAHM

By Leave a Comment

From the beginning as a mom we are faced with choices that we never had to seriously stare in the face. One of those choices is to work/go to school, or to stay home.

There are some that will tell us that the best thing to do is to stay home and there are others that will be adamant about us going to work. The truth of the matter is…

when it all balls down too it, it’s our choice as the mom

We as mothers have to decide what’s best for our families and for ourselves. I have had my moments when I’ve felt that it was best for me to stay home and others when I felt that it was best for men to go to school. Each of the times, besides this last one, I felt extreme pressure from the people around me to move I one way or another. These pressures at times, debilitated me. I became unable to perform in any capacity.

Laundry would not be done, food would not be cooked and other areas of my life would be lacking. Ive had to make my own decision. With noses flared and disappointed tones, my loved ones would tell me that I should go back to school, but I knew what the result would be. So I waited

Now that I am back in school, I’ve determined that my schooling will not suck the life out of me so that I cannot take care of my family.

If you want to know my opinion. What would I tell a mom that was facing this daunting dilemma? I’d tell her to be realistic about your desires and you abilities. Don’t overwhelm yourself or allow others to dictate what you should do. The fact is that some will look up to you and some will look down at you. Others will stare you straight in the face as I am and encourage you to be the best mom and woman that you can be whether you work or stay home. No matter what give it, mothering, all that you’ve got.

From Moving Day 1 to Day 2

By Leave a Comment

Today we began our moving process, with the movers that is. They were at the house and they were packing, which, I must say, I am so thankful for. The only thing was that although they were making progress, at times it didn’t feel like it. Now moving from day 1 into day 2, I am expecting that they will move at an even quicker speed and pack up the truck so that they can come to my new house and unload.

From yesterday to today, I realized how much I’ve enjoyed my house. I have enjoyed the space and the freedom that it offers my family. There are are so many options for us. My kids can watch tv in their own rooms or they can play outside in the back yard. They can be together as a family or they can have som personal “me” time.

The other thing that I enjoy about this house is…wait, you really are not going to believe it, but it’s my laundry room. I enjoy it so much that I have done multiple loads in there in the past two days and have spent a few hours in there listening to music and folding clothes. No, I’m not crazy. If you saw it, you’d stay in it longer as well.

So from day 1 to day 2, I still have an excitement and anticipation about the upcoming events and my family’s new space.
