Day 30 - a picture of someone you miss

I miss my Grandma. She lives in Arizona so I don't get to see her very much. See is so kind, generous and really sweet. I really admire her for all that she has gone through in life and how strong she is because of it. I feel that she had passed that trait onto my mother as well. Both are amazing women who I really look up to.

Day 28 - a picture of something you're afraid of - 

The Dark

 

via

I am scared of the dark. I am pretty sure I have already divulged that dirty little secret. I still to this day sleep with a nightlight and every room in our house (including the bathroom) has a nightlight. It's okay if you laugh, I know it's silly. But hey, at least I see when the monsters are coming to get me.
I really can't stand being in the dark alone. I have always slept with a nightlight as long as I can remember. James is really good about it though and he is helping me work on it. It is definitely something I need prayer about (hint hint).

I am also scared of the darkness that will come if I were to ever fall away from God. He is the way, He is the light. Without Him, I am susceptible to all the darkness that this world holds. The tight gripping, stomach dropping, hair raising, chilling fear that I have now of being alone in the pitch dark is what I imagine it would feel like all the time without Him. It's very frightening.

Day 24 - a picture of something you wish you could change
This opens up a whole can of worms. There are tons of things I wish I could change and on various levels too. I feel that are so many things that I want changed that has nothing to do with myself: world hunger, human trafficking and crime in general. Those things are something that I know I can be a part of to make that change happen, but on my own nothing will change.
However, there are things that I can change with just little ol' me. For instance, the relationship I have with my father. We have had a very rocky relationship when I was growing up, in fact rocky relationship would be an understatement. We pretty much had a non existent relationship and I  hated him for many years. Now, the relationship is totally different. I have found the Lord who took my hurt and anguish away and had replaced it with grace and forgiveness. Now, my father and I have a pretty good relationship. He even walked me down the aisle at my wedding. Something I never thought would happen in a million years.

I wish I could change how I felt about him earlier, I wish we had more of a relationship growing up. I wish that I could have found forgiveness sooner. I wish that the relationship we have now could be even stronger. This I know I can change, it all depends on me and how much I pursue our relationship. I can call him more, I can send more letters and pictures, I can save up money to go visit him. I can show more interest in his daily life and the people he shares it with. In fact, I will go call him right now.

Day 23 - a picture of your favorite book
My first ever favorite book was Little Women by Luisa May Alcott. This book has always left a special place in my heart. I think I was in the third grade when I read the book and I loved it so much. I have read it over and over many times throughout the years. I own a special copy of it with Gold edged pages and a fancy ribbon bookmark and everything. I love the movie by Gillian Armstrong to.

Day 22 - a picture of something you wish you were better at
Oh goodness! My list is pretty endless.  I am the one who is always wanting to learn and expand my knowledge of things and how to do things. In fact, I just was saying two days ago I was talking to my friend about some things I have been wanting to take classes on so that I can improve my skills. The top of the list would be Cooking, Photography, Sewing, Drawing, Singing, Playing Piano.

I guess what I really need to be better at is TIME MANAGEMENT. If I had better time management, I would be able to take the time to practice and go to classes to improve. I dabble in so many things but usually I'm at the basic level in them all because I don't have the time nor the patience to focus on one thing and excel at it.

Day 21 - a picture of something you wish you could forget
I seriously don't own any images of things I wish I could forget. I think part of the process of forgetting is to not hold on to things. So I am sure I threw away or deleted any pictures of things I would not like to remember.

I wish I could forget what it felt like to have our house broken into. My things thrown about my room, my clothes thrashed about. My valuables stolen. I felt violated and instilled with fear. I couldn't sleep by myself for a month. I had nightmares all the time that the perpetrators would come back while I was home.  I couldn't stand to be in the house by myself. Being taken over by fear is a horrible thing. Not to mention this was a time when I didn't know God so I felt totally helpless. Not fun, not fun at all.

Since I have already talked about my dream vacation in Europe, the second vacation trip we have planned (and what I mean by planned is i really really really want to go) is to go on a cruise. Anywhere really. Alaska, the Caribbean, the Mexican Riviera. Where ever the ship may take us.

I seriously contemplated putting a up a random picture and writing one single letter of the alphabet below it. I would do it because I have that sarcastic sense of humor. But then I realized that not everyone would know my sense of humor and think I just didn't   "get it ."  Then I got lazy and decided to do it anyway. Better yet, I put a picture up OF a letter. beat that.

Day 18 - a picture of your biggest insecurity.
When I first here the word insecurity, I think of something physical. Like, my legs are so white and usually have bruises on them that I hate showing them. Or how I am insecure that I STILL breakout at the age of 26 and it seems like no matter what I do, make up just won't cover it up. Or how my hair is always so frizzy and I still can't seem to figure out how to get those baby hairs framing my face to keep the hair color in that I dye it. Or how none of my pre pregnancy clothes fit the same on  my now post pregnancy body.

Then I realize that they are just small insecurities that I really don't let get to me for more than 5 minutes. The real insecurity that I have that I deal with the most is being a MOM. I feel there is so much responsibility in raising a little one. Not only the physical aspect of making sure they are clean, fed and watched with a careful eye, but also how to raise them with morals and to love God with all they have. Sometimes I am so nervous that how I am as a parent will directly effect what the future will hold for her and how I will play a part in the person she will become.

What I really need to be doing is trusting that God will give me the tools and confidence that I need to be the parent He needs me to be for her. I need to let the insecurity go and do my best to love and nurture her the best way I know how. Oh ya, and give her tons and tons of kisses and cuddles.

Day 17 - a picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently

 I would have to say that our decision to stay in San Diego has definitely made one of the biggest impacts on my life other than becoming a christian, wife and mom. Not to mention, it is the most recent impact. James and I had our hearts set on making Portland, Oregon our new home. We have been dreaming about this for the past 4 years and to have the Lord tell us not to leave now, even though it seemed everything was coming together beautifully for the move. It was challenging to accept the news at first, but we are happy with the decision. It seemed our dreams had come to a halt. However, I feel God is making a new dream for us, a better hope and a better life. I have been learning how to live in His timing, not mine.

 Day 16 : a picture of someone who inspires you.

I had to think about this one for a while. I really get inspired by so many things. Pictures, places, words and people. I guess it all depends on what it is that I am looking into inspiration for. There are the surface level things - clothing, home decor, cooking. These I find through pictures (mainly on other blogs).  Then there are the deeper levels - who do I look to for inspiration on how to be a better parent, friend, wife and person in general. It's hard to pick pick one specific person (besides the obvious, JESUS) who inspires me the most. I know it might sound cliche, but I seriously am inspired by my kind, loving, generous HUSBAND, JAMES.

He is calm when I am raging, he is kind when I am harsh, he is patient when I get frustrated easily. And best yet, he strives to be like Jesus. I am lucky to have such an inspiring person in my life to look up to and I am even more lucky that I get to be his wife. He makes me want to be a better mom, a better wife, and a better person.

30 day post {Day 15}

Day 15 - a picture of something you want to do before you die. I love to travel and have a life long dream of traveling through Europe. I always wanted to get some waitress job at a local cafe for a month or two, exploring the city and culture and then move on to the next place and continue to experience and explore new things. I would stay hostels and befriend the locals. I would soak up all the culture and be immersed in a new kind of traveling vagabond life.  Now that I am a family gal, all that will have to wait. And I am sure that one day when we are older and Chloe has moved off to college I can convince my hubby to let my dream come true, with him tagging along of course.

First: Jesus, my lord and savior. I have had a life without Him and I will never go back.

I seriously don't even want to try and contemplate what my life would be like without them.

DAY 11: a picture of something you hate

This one was easy. I HATE SPIDERS!!!! I seriously have arachnophobia. Just looking at the picture is giving me the heebie jeebies and I feel itchy all over. I seriously cry when there is one within arms length of me and If I see a spider somewhere and someone hasn't killed it for me, I won't go in that room until they find it and get it out. I even use to pay my sister to kill spiders that were in my room when I was younger. I just can't be anywhere near them! In fact, I am sure I will take this picture down soon b/c I just don't want to look at it.
