There comes a time and place in our lives where we realize exactly what we want in life. However, sometimes that moment of realization is happening at the worst times. It’s sad to think that we as humans don’t realize what we have until it could potentially be gone. If there is something in your life that’s important to you, something you can’t possibly imagine your life without, don’t wait until the moment it’s gone to realize “this is it.” If “this is it” for you, cherish it. Appreciate it. Don’t take one day for granted. Show yourself and those around you that you love this. We are all imperfect, and we all mess up- God made us with flaws to test our love and strength. Be wise, be cautious, and don’t let the things you love the most slip through your fingers. We get one chance at life, and I wouldn’t want to live it without you.

New Week- Busy Days
Keep yourself busy, it makes you stronger. I know when life gets tough being busy is the last thing you want. You want time to yourself; time to relax. But it’s the busiest times that make you realize how strong you are, how brave and powerful you are. No one will make your dreams come true, except for you. YOU have to be the one to work for it! YOU have to be the one to push yourself! YOU have to be the provider for your own life. The tired days become the most rewarding. The hard days become the greatest life lessons. Through the bad, there is something greater- push yourself to find that something greater; I promise you it’s there. Good things happen to good people, and the best things happen to those who deserve it, those who work for it.
New Week- Stay Strong
This weekend I attended a baby shower. A shower for a mother who is already doing everything on her own. As sad as that sounds, in today’s world, that’s very common. And I’m not saying dad’s are never around and women have to do it all alone. Because sometimes it’s the opposite; some women don’t want to be mothers when the baby is finally here. Anyway, as I watched her glow in her happiness, I realized that even though it’s hard as a single parent, it seems like it’s double the reward and happiness. As a single parent, you get double the love, double the attention, and double the strength. Sure, there are going to be times you wish you had someone to help you, someone to take turns with changing the dirty diapers, and the crying; But, at the end of the day, as you sit there and reflect how much love and happiness being a parent brings you, you’re going to thank that other person for not being around. This chapter in your life has brought you more strength, more happiness, more wisdom, and more love. So to those who are struggling, or those who know someone who is struggling with being a single parent, rub some dirt in it, chin up, stay strong, and cherish the moments… because this is the greatest gift you’ll ever receive.
