My Challenge

My Brand New Nephew Blaze River Brewster was born Tuesday, August 23, 2011 Weighing 7lbs 9oz 19 in

I have realized that all this time I have spent on focusing on baby, baby, baby, blaming God, being angry, resentful, & jealous has gotten me no where. All I have done is feel sorry for myself and waste precious time. I am thankful for all of the blessings that God has given me. I don’t want to waste another minute of my time on earth worrying about anything, over thinking things, thinking about having a baby 24/7, or any of that crap. Life is too short. None of us know how long we have on this earth. Nothing is guaranteed. So, why do we waste our time getting so wrapped up in things that don’t matter. I have to say that I have learned a lot about myself in the last few months. I am trying to refocus my priorities, my relationship with God, my faith, and my purpose. Everything that I have personally gone through has made me who I am today. I may not be the best wife, friend, sister, daughter or person in general but I can say that I have tried. My best may not always meet up with everyone else’s expectations but it’s the best I can do.

I feel I constantly struggle with those around me.  People are so wrapped up in the world (not saying I’m not right there with them) that they can’t see the big picture. It doesn’t matter what material things we have in this life, what kind of car we drive, the house we live in, the clothes we wear, it’s about the real things in life, family, friends, and God. My challenge to myself and everyone else is forget about the small things, forget about the material things, & focus on what is real! Embrace it & remember each day how truly blessed we all are for all the good & the bad in our lives.
