Some Assembly Required

There is no way that I am perfect. I am on a new path of higher consciousness, being consistent, working on not being fearful, having a better honest prayer life… list goes on. However, on this journey I am discovering how jacked up I really am. I doubt myself a lot, I break down, I hide all my emotions inside very easily, get frustrated, overwhelmed and scattered brained. I am 100% human with tens and thousands of emotions that I may or may not even know about!

My question in those difficult moments, would be what to do when you realize things about yourself that are not the most positive? My answer to that would be to pray. Keep praying. Don't stop, pray every day as much as you can! Pray, Pray, Pray. I realized that my emotional self is honest for the moment but it’s temporary. In the moment of me breaking down, I cry out to God. I am practicing to speak to go when t I am frustrated, overwhelmed, scattered brained, I let him know. You see I can't hide from God. God knows me in and out. The power happens when he opens your eyes to who you are, and you pray on it and ask God to change your heart, your mind and your ways.

Fear: Fear can hold us back from being truthful.

Lets work on being honest!. What are something you have noticed about yourself that may not be the most positive? I’ts okay really..

You can anonymously write them down, your utmost deepest problem. Let it out, let it be free, let God wash it clean. The more I spoke about my problems with Fear and being consistency, the more God helped me.


My newest up most deepest issues :

I get frustrated, Overwhelmed and scattered brained. I am all over the place! I need God to give me rest, and a consistent thought process a honest peace.

The Beauty in your Imperfection

Stick to what you believe in. Self-discovery is so important in the journey of motherhood. I want you all to take rest in knowing you do not have to know it all and that is okay.

I was speaking with someone the other day, and I said I felt becoming a mother was the best and worst thing that could have happened to me. I felt it was the best thing because I was able to actually become a mother. I never would of thought I could love someone so much! I finally understood what it meant to be in unconditional love! This little baby is my everything.

The reason why I felt it was the worst thing that could happen to me is because I honestly wasn’t ready. I had my daughter when I was a teenager. According to the University Of Rochester Medical Center the rational part of a teen's brain isn't fully developed and won't be until he or she is 25 years old. Sooo I was 19! Lol, how am I honestly supposed to give this beautifully child a healthy happy life and I am not fully grown yet!!?? Yea see the problem?

I then struggled a lot with trying to be perfect. I tried to balance out a teenage life with an adult/parent life. I tried to do it ALL! I did not want to admit I did not know it all. (Something I am still working on) This turned into a true melt down and identity crisis! I was aggravated, stressed and confused, I love my baby, but I also have an urge to love myself and be young.

I am here taking rest in "I don't know it all". No one does ...and that is okay. We are all imperfect however we serve a perfect God.

The bible has tons of verses that lets us know that God cares for us! He will not give us more than we can bare! God wants us to cast all anxiety on Him because He cares for us. In Matthew 11:28 it says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Let’s take God up on that offer, and pray that all of our troubles are not our troubles. God is faithful and he will provide. Trust God with your life, your troubles and your imperfect self. He has a perfect plan! Take rest!

Walking in regret

Hi Ladies, 

You ever have moments that you regret it all? You just do not know how you got to this point. How in the world did I end up pregnant? What happened?  "I was so happy before all of this"!! Is this you? It was me.

You see its so funny that now I am able to see how great of a your lady I was before I got pregnant. I was unable to also see how  easy I actually had it. I did not see the value in being able to just get out of bed and go straight in the shower, put on some clothes and go to school.  I did not see the value of just leaving my house with my purse that was just filled with a wallet and lip gloss.  I did not see the value of my mother handing me my lunch money.I did not see the value in going out to dinner with friends and not having to worry about going straight home I did not see the value!

Now I have to get out of bed to calm a crying baby, I have to feed, clothe and do my daughters hair before I even think of looking in the mirror in the morning.I have to find someone to watch my daughter before I go out to dinner with any one, I have to pack a diaper bag, I have to budget my money enough to get through the week. Wooh..That is not even close to the amount of work that is being done before yourself

With all this extra work, it is so easy to feel regret. Especially if you are doing this alone. Can I tell you there is nothing for you to regret? You did nothing wrong. Forgive yourself.
