Twenty year old, newly married old college student who is figuring out what makes her who she is in this, once again, new stage of life. The name is Rebecca. Life is full of details, some big, some little, but they all sort of fit together to make something beautiful. I started this blog with the intentions of sharing my journey with you, hoping that it would inspire you to make a difference. Who knows? Maybe someday it will.
The Little Things
It’s funny that whenever Trevor tries to feel it the baby stops moving. Stubborn little bugger-must be ours… I love this baby so much!
My cousin will never have her dad walk her down the aisle…
My aunt now spends every night without her husband next to her…
I thought he was strong enough to fight it.
Yet somehow I can’t even say its not fair because he gets to be in heaven… Nothing will ever hurt him again!
Why couldn’t we just all go with him?
This has me terrified that my baby might grow up without a father. I know I shouldn’t think like that but the thought is always there.
Prayers and encouragement are appreciated today!
I really need to learn to say everything that’s on my mind in a disagreement so that it doesn’t drive me crazy later…
Shhhh! Don’t tell that story again! Don’t utter another syllable about the pain, the losses that have left you broken, unless you are ready to recover right now. Stop dragging yourself back there, reminding yourself of how bad it was for you then unless it has some relevance to what you are doing right now. Each time you think about, talk about, or remember then, you put that energy squarely in the middle of your life right now.

You are single because you are single. It’s really as simple as that. You haven’t made the connection with another heart yet. You can get dolled up, dress cute, cut your hair, dye your hair, tweeze your eyebrows, put on lipstick and you may still. be. single. You can go out to a bar hoping to meet the love of your life and not find a damn one in the place attractive. And it’s going to remain that way until it’s time for you to find one. Stop hoping for it. Start living the life that you do have instead of wishing for things that you don’t have. There will come a time you’ll meet a boy and you’ll have to give up some of this single freedom you currently have. Start being more thankful. Start doing that now.”
I like most of this!

My uncle Ernie went to be with Jesus this past Saturday.
He lived in Mexico and so much of my family went there for the funeral.
Therefore I am now babysitting four kids, 11,9,7,5.
It’s giving me a good idea of what parenting kids will be like and making me realize that four kids is not too much to handle.
However I’m definitely having some adventures! The youngest kid has thrown up three times since 1:30 am… Each time the puke has gotten grosser and my tolerance for it less…
I guess God figures he’d give me the whole parenting experience haha.
Still I’m loving it and can see myself doing this - which is good because in six months I will be needing to.
Ill continue to share my adventures with you as they come.
Have a wonderful day!
Becca
