I’m Here…

February 26, 2016 by Jen 3 Comments

I promise I’ve not disappeared. It’s been one of those longer weeks where I don’t feel like I have much to say, but I have a lot to say. BUT I don’t know how to put it into words.

Lately we’ve been having lots of conversations about adding to our family. Lots of conversations. Back and forth and back and forth. We agreed 2 weeks ago that we’re open to it, and then last week I volunteered in the church nursery and I couldn’t do it. Just looking into those helpless baby eyes, not understanding what the baby wanted but couldn’t really learn in the short time I had him. I had a really hard time deciding if that’s what we want. So for now, we’ll stick to our party of three, but sometimes, you have to go through those series of events to say it’s okay.

I’ve also been thinking a lot about taking on a leadership opportunities in my local moms groups. It’s been something I feel called to do, but nervous about messing things up. I’m excited to be considered, and even more hopeful that others see that I may be a good fit. I hope it’s some much needed direction I need to feel like I’m being apart of a team.

So that’s where I’ve been. You know, just baking away on Instagram (because that’s what I do when I’m trying to figure things out) and playing with Miss H (because that’s what I love to do.)  I’m excited about a few opportunities coming down the road and some great connections I’ve made only to make me a better blogger, momma and friend.

So aside from that – I’ll be back next week back into the swing of things. It’s okay to go dark every once in a while, it gives you focus, perspective and a new energy.

If you’re still hanging in – thanks for letting me vent/rant/share. I’m sure at some point you’ve had similar feelings, and sometimes you just gotta work through it all – right?

    I think it's brave to admit that you aren't sure if you are ready or want to add to your family. Every family is different with when it feels complete. Trust your instincts and you can't go wrong.

    Thinking of you! Life is full of so many important decisions, but if you let Him decide, they'll always be the right one! xoxo
