I pray the New Year is better to all of us!

Have you made any New Years resolutions about your spiritual journey? Something you hope to so or not do?

Have you selected words or a prayer to be your theme/motto for the year to come?

Any new struggles/revelations this week?

Have you made any New Years resolutions about your spiritual journey? Something you hope to so or not do? --- I don't know if its necessarily a resolution but I'm going to try and focus on the things that are good in my life , like my family, friends, and my husband who are all amazing.

Have you selected words or a prayer to be your theme/motto for the year to come? -- I kinda made one up... Survive this year. Not just living wise but just in general survive and push forward.

Any new struggles/revelations this week?--- we met with a grief counselor last night. It was more of a get to know you session but she said off the bat that I'm trying to push my grief aside already and she's concerned. I have a habit of needing to know the why's for everything so its only natural I'd be spending my days and nights Googling everything about preeclampsia an trying to find a reason for this. I admit, I'm borderline obsessed because I can't find an answer and our counselor says that will only make the grieving process more difficult maybe I need a hobby lol

Happy New Year Ladies!  thinking of you all this week.

 

My resolution for the year is the same as my motto for the year: to be more mindful.  I want to savor life more instead of rush through it waiting for the "big" happy things to come.  I've wasted too much time waiting for a healthy pregnancy/waiting for a vacation to come/ waiting for fill in the blank.  I want to enjoy my day to day life more and to be happy with the life that DH and I live day to day.  This isn't saying I can't miss Bunny or want another baby so desparately...but I have to quit living for that.

I haven't made any resolutions this year.  I am going to take this year as it comes.  Last year left me high and dry, no baby, no job, and a bunch of extra bed rest weight.  This year I'm just going to do what needs to be done and hope fkrntge best.  I don't want to put more pressure on myself.

I haven't been going to church.  I struggle at Christmas time because there are SO many people that come and are rude during the service. So I'm heading back tomorrow.

***siggy warning***
***pregnancy mentioned***

I'm a little late to be posting here, but I heard sidewalk prophets "keep making me" today on Klove and it really got me thinking. It basically asks God to break him down so that he can be remade into a better Christian. When I first had my loss I felt so close to God. It was a very powerful experience, and I feel like the farther from that loss I've gotten the more my relationship with God has suffered. Now that I'm pregnant again I want to build that relationship back up and I definitely don't want to experience another loss to get there. That's my resolution this year to really work on having a good relationship with God and feeling as close to him as I did last year at this time. We're going to start going back to service (our sanctuary has been being remodeled and I haven't wanted to be shoved into the fellowship hall) and hopefully having that time with my church family will help build that relationship again.
