So Much to Share

 I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything.  I actually forgot about this blog to be honest with you.

First of all, Joy she is 10 yrs old.  It is so hard to believe how long it's been.  She is turning into a young lady.  

In November 2021, I took a big step of faith and went back to school to take the Personal Support Worker Course at Trillium College.  That is one choice I do not regret.  It was not easy trying to be a wife, Mom and trying to maintain my full time job.  My day would start at 8 am to 1 pm for school then work from 3-9:30.  It was so exhausting.  Then when placement started it was 6/7 am to 3 pm then work 5-9:30.  However I did experience one obstacle, I had to be off placement for 3 weeks as COVID went through our home.  Thankfully we did not get it severe.  When I returned I was working placement 6 days a week plus my job.  I had to get my placement hours done.  Then I wrote my NACC Exam and passed.  It was all worth it.  I graduated with honors.  The only downfall was we didn't get a graduation ceremony.  

Apple Picking October 11, 2014

This past weeks my family went to Watson's Farms in Bowmanville, Ontario. This Summer/Fall has been many firsts. I seem to be doing things with Joy that I never got to experience  in my childhood.  So I feel like a little kid all over again. 

When we first arrived Will and I took her to the front where there where pumpkins. Row after row. They had orange pumpkins, white pumpkins and ones with bumps on them. Joy just walked through them row on row. Pointing to them. Then we got our ride to the orchard to pick apples. Honestly I was worried that I might get stung by wasps. I was surprised I did not see that many. Joy ate a whole apple. She really likes the red delicious. I tried a northern spy apple, I got a few bites and she took my apple. 

These moments are so precious. I am one blesses woman! Thank you Jesus!!

Setting the Example

Life gets so busy.  You forget the most important things.  I find I do not have the time to pick up the phone and call people.  Trying to balance everything out.  Being a Mom is not easy.  Learning to adjust is still a struggle.  The biggest thing that I have a hard time with and it is the most important thing in my life.  My devotion time and Prayer time with Jesus.  When I was a teenager it was so easy to include that in my life.  As time went on, work, social life, church activities and family life.  It is so frustrating trying to get that area back on track.  Now as a Mom and desires Joy to want to seek God, live for Him I must set the example for her.  How do you Mom's do it?

The Wilderness

This past Sunday at church the topic was The Wilderness. James 1:1-5 really stuck out out me. Especially verses 3 to 4. "Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish it's work so you may be mature and not lacking anything." James 1:3-4 (NIV) As I have stated in the past entries that this past year has been a nightmare. I questioned whether God was there or not. Hoped that by not terminating the pregnancy that God would reward me by proving the medical field wrong and bring home a healthy baby. Through it all God was there but no we didn't bring home our baby. So what good came out of this? Within the first 3 years of our marriage, getting pregnant, have to bury our child and to top it off my husband losing his job. That is a lot to go through within 3 years. Through this my Will and I have come through it all and we are still in love and stronger than we were as a couple last year. Anna

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mother's out there. It is a blessing to be a Mom. I was raised in a sinble parent home. Mom and Dad are divorced and for the longest time my Dad was not in my life.

My Mom is my hero! She did a fabulous job raising me. Thank you Mom! I love you!

Today is difficult for me in 3 months I am suppose to become a Mom and it hurts deep down inside. I want a miracle so bad. I have been so exctied to become a Mom and now TD has shattered my dream.

So for all you Mom's out there who wish you could go back cause you made a bad choice. Snap out if it. You have been given a gift. Cherish it because in an instant that gift can be taken away.
