Keeps us Waiting

My mind has been soaring through all the possibilities of life lately. It never seems to stop. And sleep becomes harder to find. I have noticed and learned a few things on this little journey (aka trial) though. I have learned that the Lord keeps us waiting because there is something better in store for us. I have learned that we are kept waiting because we are being more adequately prepared for things (aka NCLEX). The Lord knows and loves us. He has special plans for us even if we do not see it yet.

We have not yet received any job offers, but we have received peace. Brian has applied to multiple companies and he plans on visiting some of them this next week. We have decided that if no job offer is received within the first week of June that we are supposed to stay in Rexburg until after our baby girl comes. That deadline is oddly quite the peace of mind. I have been so worried about trying to move being extremely pregnant and finding a new doctor and well everything that comes with it. It is overwhelming. I can still do it if we need to but the deadline does help me to 'prepare' so to say.

Also I finally received that special email that tells me I can take my NCLEX (which is the test that I have to take to license to be a nurse). So I have another deadline to work with and prepare. More peace of mind with that. My transcript got lost in the mail and I had to send another one which is why it took so long to get my authorization to test. But I have decided that it happened because the Lord was giving me more time to be adequately prepared to take it. And honestly, it is a relief.

I do not know what His plan is for us but I am becoming more willing to accept whatever the Lord sees fit to throw at us. He knows us and I am sure grateful for it. Life is an adventure with so many pitstops along the way. We need to enjoy the now and stop fretting about the future.

Guess what...I'm not perfect

As I lay here with terrible insomnia (hasn't happened this severely in a while), I decided to write my thoughts and frustrations out. As a parent, I dearly love my children. They are the light of my world. They are not easy nor do we have a picture perfect life, but I'm trying my best with what I have to work with. I guess I want to express that there is no ONE right way to parent. And I can go one step further and say I have to "parent" each one of my children in a different manner because they each respond differently. I'm not perfect at anything...especially parenting. No one except the Lord and my husband (usually) understands the trials I go through on a daily basis. Therefore, no one has the right (except the Lord) to judge how I'm doing something or even why. Like I said I am doing my best. Just because I do something you may not agree with doesn't mean it's wrong. You have NO right to tell me or anyone else that what I am doing isn't okay....

When everything Flips on you...

Today was well planned out. The girls had their weekly gymnastics, I would have an ultrasound, then my midwife appointment, then a chiropractor appointment...all that needed to happen in town scheduled for today...of course when plans are made, the world laughs in my face...mother nature laughs in my face. First off, the kiddos got sick and weren't feeling great (including Brex which meant he stayed home from school). So we didn't make it to gymnastics (seriously a bummer because the girls love it). Then it decided to snow and snow some more...of course it likes to snow on the days I plan to go to town. . . I didn't feel like it was a good idea to cancel three medical appointments so we were trying to figure out a way to still make it happen with all the kids home. Originally, we had planned to pack up and meet Brian in town. He would take a long lunch and spend time with the kids in the car (not the most exciting) and reduce spreading their sick germs. Luckily we receive...

Thoughts of the future

Life can be extremely scary especially when you do not know what to expect. I am 17 weeks pregnant and I will graduate from the nursing program in 9 weeks. After that, I am expected to the take the NCLEX to get my RN license. So much change is ahead of us. Currently, Brian is applying to multiple jobs to see where we may end up. We will most likely be moving in May. But we do not know where yet. I think that is probably the scariest thing of all. I am going to have to find a new OB and hospital to have this baby. The tension and worry is just starting to build up for me and I am not sure how to handle it, but rather just go through life one day at a time. Something will come up and we will know what we are doing at some point. All I can say is that I have great faith in the Lord. He gets me through each day and calms my anxiety. He gives me the reassurence I need to carry on. We have been so greatly blessed and I notice it often. I am also blessed to have a wonderful, righteous husband...
