Whew child! When it rains it pours.
First let me assure you, this is not a late Valentines Day post … it was written on Feb 15th 
.
Lately I’ve been on a rollercoaster of emotions. You ever have seasons in your life where the days seem like carbon copies of each other and months run together? Then you have these other times where it’s like each and every day has some pivotal moment that you just know is gonna change who you are and shape you as you move forward in this thing called life?
I’m having one of those pivotal seasons.
I haven’t (and won’t) tell ya’ll all … but you know some of it, my pregnancy, my uncle’s passing, my hormones resulting in ’bouts of depression, my contract at work ending. It’s been heavy. That said, it hasn’t all been bad (although unfortunatly most of it has been *shakes fist at devil*), like recently my husband and I looked at our numbers and with all the blessings of late I won’t be looking for another job at this time in lieu of the baby being here in July. I am happy about that.
At anyrate, I got even more trying news recently and really have been trying to focus on the positive in my life, because there is so much, even when it seems like all the news coming my way is not. Inspired by this post on ThePioneerWoman.com and my own list of 100 Things That Make Me Happy, I’m gonna toss up a list of things I love. Lord knows I need to.

I hear ya on the “when it rains it pours” thing. I find that it tends to happen with both good things and bad. So, the good news is, once your storm is over, the blessings will flow – beginning with that beautiful little baby! Keep the faith – despite the negativity, and everything will be just fine.
Thank you
I really hate to hear you are having a difficult time these days. I was excited for you to get to see your baby on the ultrasound, more developed, and with character. God knows what you need, when you need it, and my prayer for you is that He meets you at the point of that need.
Thanks Brandi
You are an uplifting person so you will be uplifted.
I had to laugh at the vita malt! When my aunt comes down to the Bahamas she drinks cases of it. I love it too!
Vita Malt is God’s gift to me.
Hey Lady!
First let me say congrats again…. i know i’ve already written that a thousand times! As always, I totally feel what you are going through, but I want to you stay encouraged! I’ve recently gone through…scratch that, God brought me out of a relationship I had been in for 10 years and I can’t tell you how strange it all feels. I know that He has a plan and there has been two things that have been monumental to me through this time of …..transition. 1. I prayed that God would “keep” my mind….and keep it in the here and now. I tend to think a lot….A LOT, and those thoughts are either worried ones of what will happen, or what hasn’t happened, and usually i end of being afraid to make moves based on what i “think” is going to happen. That’s why I prayed for God to keep my mind, because I know that He has not given us a spirit of fear. So every time I find myself thinking too much on things, I look at my phone. Note the time. Note the date. This moment, this here right now, is all that I need be concerned about. Which led me to 2. My sister gave me this verse while i was in the midst and I keep it written on a piece of paper, anytime I need to, I rewrite the verse. it’s Jeremiah 29:11
Thanks for sharing
I really needed to read this. You’re absolutely right, when it rains, it pours. But on the other side, when it’s sunny, you break out the sunglasses AND big floppy hat,
. I’ve been really unmotivated, and not in the greatest of moods. But your posts always make me smile. This one in particular has gotten me a little more happy and motivated. Thanks, Roshini!
You are so welcome *hugs*.
