Abortion

The heartache I have had after hearing about a dear friend who has had an abortion is just unimaginable. It ripped me open....and I thought hearing about a miscarriage/still birth was rough.  This person is already a mother.  How can it be that she and her husband could ever make such a decision.  I let it sink in, trying not to judge...but failing at first.  Trying not to have harsh feelings, but it took me a while to get past them.  I started reading blogs about abortion.  More heart break.  One career driven mother said she felt empowered by the abortion.  How absolutely unbelievable.  Feeling empowered by the act of killing your own child!?! This sounded like pure evil.  Again trying not to judge, but wow!  There is no way of justifying that.  How can someone who is ALREADY a mother feel even remotely at peace about doing such a thing?  Maybe sometimes she doesn't?.?.  How can that be an option when you are a grown woman?  How do people take life so lightly?  Can these women look at their children without guilt, without pain in knowing they killed one so much like them?  I weep for them.  

Having been through 2 miscarriages before successfully having a baby taught me just how miraculous and fragile life is.  The fear of losing another one was so overwhelming for me that I waited as long as I could to tell the people around me, and even until he was born to tell my close friends who lived in other states.  It taught me to trust God's timing, His plans, and His grace even more.  I should have never doubted Him.  He has blessed me beyond words with the most amazing son who is healthy, happy, and handsome:).  If He continues to bless in the future with more, I will only give Him praise.

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
