Happy Updates! Praise God!

Remember when I said I was feeling hopeful in my last blog post? Well...lets just say those hopes have turned into some HUGE Praise God's!!

First off, the really great big praise God thing is about my Mom, and she is officially in REMISSION! Yes, that means she is now CANCER FREE! So, at this point she will be going into the doctor every 3 months just to have her blood work and make sure everything is still going good. The reality is that there is a 60% chance of the cancer returning. But, as for now, she is cancer free and that is all we care about. And if it comes back, we will worry about it then and not worry about it now. And, obviously, we serve a really big God that she is already in remission before we even hit the one year mark, so I believe that God can also keep her in remission until she hits the 10 year mark and is considered a cure! So, basically, that is the big prayer is that the cancer never returns!

Second, I GOT A JOB! Yes, that's right, I finally have gotten a job! And it is the job that I had talked about in my last blog post. I am going to be a Before and After School Daycare Worker at one of our local Public Schools. Basically, I will work in the morning before School starts, and in the afternoon after the kids are out of school. And I will just be doing things like helping kids with homework, doing activities and crafts, giving them a snack, and things like that. They also run the daycare when they are on breaks, so I will also be working even when the kids are not in school, which is a good thing, too! I am really excited about this job as I think this will be the perfect job for me and I will really enjoy it. So I am really excited.

Lastly, surgery is getting closer. September 14 is going to be here before I know it, and my life will be changing big time! Having this Gastric Sleeve surgery is really exciting for me, as I am excited to lead a much better and healthier lifestyle and have a much better quality of life. But it is scary because it is still surgery and there is unknowns as to how my body will respond, and there will be a long process of being on special diets for awhile and things like that. But I know it will be worth it and I will be so much happier and healthier!

Oh, and with my new Niece coming in October, there is a lot to be happy for and excited for! So, overall I feel like my life is beginning to turn around for the better, and life will kind of get back in order and get more "normal". I am ready for this new and exciting journey ahead! I just am so thankful and so grateful to God for all he is doing in my life and for my family! I feel so blessed way beyond what I even deserve and God is just so good!

COVID19- How Am I Really Doing?

As you all know, right now is a crazy and scary and stressful time for pretty much everyone in the world. Everything going on with Coronavirus-COVID19 is nothing like any of us  have ever had to see or deal with in our lifetimes. We are all having to take things just one day, one moment at time and learn as we go. We are having to adjust into "new normal's" and new schedules and routines. Most of us are living under "Stay At Home Orders" meaning we can only leave the house for essential needs(groceries/medical needs) or if you are an essential worker. And aside from maybe going outside to do things in the yard or take a walk around your neighborhood, you are in your house all day. We are dealing with being out of work, laid off, under financial strain, or maybe even having to deal with home schooling your kids. And on top of that, you can't be with anyone other than the people in your own home. I will say, technology is a pretty big blessing. Because of te...

If I Were to Be a Chapel Speaker...

Thinking back to being a student sitting in the seats of Holland Christian's auditorium during chapel, I remember hearing a lot of great speakers. Some were just funny, others had amazing stories that you could just never forget, and some just really hit home with the lessons they were teaching. I always really liked when past students of HC would come back to do a chapel and share things they have learned, it was always interesting to hear how far they had come in their lives. And I remember thinking to myself on occasion, "if I were to be asked to speak in chapel, what would I talk about?" At that time, I really never could think of anything that would really make people listen to me, and also I was too afraid of panicking and having a nervous breakdown. But lately, now that I am older, a little wiser, more mature, and have gone through a lot more of life, I feel have more to say. And, for some reason, lately, God has been putting a lot of things on my heart and giving ...

I'M PREGNANT!! Currently 14 1/2 Weeks Along.

Woah, long time no post! Clearly, by the title, a lot has happened in the last months. So let me jump right on in. Well, as the title says, I am pregnant! My due date is December 12, 2020. I found out I was pregnant by taking an at home pregnancy test on April 10th. Matt and I began trying to get pregnant in February, after I had my IUD removed on January 31. We made the decision to start trying, because I honestly thought I was going to have a hard time getting pregnant and that it was probably going to take us a long time and a lot of trying, and that we might even need help. And I was basing that all on the fact that my cycle had always been irregular my whole life. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 13, but was told it was most likely weight related and that if I lost my weight it would be fixed. Well, after using a birth control pill called Yaz gave me a blood clot in my right lung, my only option for birth control to help control my period became using the Mirena IUD. And ...
