Overcomeing trials. It was a really hard last year, and this year has been a process of coming out of it and moving forward.
When I was younger I thought my theme should be "Unrequited Love" - he he!
Personal growth. I started thinking about 11 weeks into pregnancy that I couldn't do it. But I did. And then I thought I wouldn't be able to stand labor, and I was right. And then recovering from a c-section...that sucked. But I did all those things along with surviving another deployment, moving back in with my mom for a few months in NC, buying a house...and I know I can do it again b/c I've already done it.
"Just keep going"- this year has been the year of overcoming and persevering. With Travis being laid off, unemployed for a while, making less money, buying the house, having Spencer diagnosed with Asperger's, this year has been the year of just getting up everyday and doing what needs to be done. I am stronger than I think, but some days feel like breaking and when you have kids, family, responsibilites...you just can't. I feel like Dory in Finding Nemo "just keep swimming, just keep swimming"
My theme this year has been finding joy and grattitude in each and every situation. I feel like there are so many trials that each one of us face, but trying to see God's hand in our lives and showing grattitude for the trials and the lessons learned and even seeing the joy in those situations has helped me to realize how much I have and how much i have been blessed.
The Theme for my life is WHAT IS NEXT? Since April of 2003 things have happened so quickly. Marriage, Pregancy 1 and it was Comlicated, then Moblization, Pregnancy 2 11 months after Pregnancy1, Husband leaves for Iraq for 18 months, Delivery of Baby 2 while husband is on RR from Iraq, 2006 Son2 having lots of problems, Husband returns from Iraq, Son 1 getting big fast, Son2 struggling, Family adjusting to Dad being home, 2007 Sell one house, Buy another, Son2 evaluated for Autsim because of speech delay, Therapies 3 times a week for son2, possible Sensory Issues, Apraxia or Autism. Husband gets notice for next deployment to Afghanastan...so What is next? For 2008 I hope that What is next is reading lots of Good books and everything else will work its self out!!!!
I think the theme for my life last year would be learning to be happy with life today and not wishing for yesterday or longing for tomorrow.
