Dear God
I want to thank You for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards.

I'm not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job.
I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed.

My thougths
As I lay on my bed last night, I try and relax my body. Moving down from my head, to my shoulders, to my hips, than my thighs, than my feet. Trying to relax each body part, each muscle slowly. Relaxing...
I try and try to think about the positives in my life. About all I have - my family, my friends, my son, my marriage, my job, my car, the roof over my head, the clothes on my back, the food on my table and everything I have achieved.
But still, still 'evil' thoughts start taking over my unrelaxed mind. Thoughts of envy, thoughts of hatred, thoughts of loneliness.
I think of my life and it somehow feels disorientated. Out of sync. I feel lonely and scared. Fear takes over my body as sweat rushes down. I fear not being able to conceive ever again. I fear losing my son or my husband. I fear losing my job. I fear it all.
I know I'm not supposed to feel this way, but I do. Worst of all I wanna really try my best and my all to conceive. I feel I have not tried everything in my grasp. I'm ovulating as we speak, but I'm so scared that I will not conceive this month. I so want to have a baby now. I'm more then ready. Somehow I think this will fulfill my life: to make my husband a father. Not that he isn't a father already. He is a great dad for D. But for him to have his own blood running through his child's veins. I sometimes pray to God, to let me conceive even if I loose the baby at least I know I can conceive again and then find answers to why I am loosing. But, the other times, when I share the heartache and tears of my friends that have lost I pray to God to not put me through the loss of a baby or child ever.
I remember one night when me and R were laying and speaking. Speaking about how long we knew each other yet it took us so long to realise we were meant to be together. And what he mentioned had me thinking. Why did we waste so much time? Why didnt we start dating way back then, then Varney would have been his biological son. But then I thought further if it were to happen back then we would have not been together today. So I'd rather have waited so long, until we were both matured to be in a marriage and to give Varney the best.
I'm so scared he will get to miss out on a chance of really becoming a daddy. Because everyone around me seems to be falling preggies, like my friend at work (we started trying together in Dec 07) fell preggies last year Nov, but had a miscarriage in Dec. Now 3 months down the line she is preggies again. I am happy for her, but a part of me wishes it was me instead.
Will I ever get a chance again?

So sad today
Today I feel so sad ... I did not wake up this way ... I just started feeling sad on my way to work ...
I dont know what's up with me, trying to avoid the tears from falling down my face ... grrr ...
I just started feeling sad about my life, my marriage and the constant interference from my in-laws, my TTC journey ... just so sad ... I popped in by my sister last night and the first thing her and her 2 daughters asked me was am I pregnant ... I know I'm fat and I probably do look pregnant, but I'm not ...
why cant people wait for you to announce "hey I'm pregnant and we ecstatic" or "hey we TTC and will see what God has in store for us", now lay off my back and stop asking me these questions ... surely if I was I would climb the highest mountain - figuratively - to announce it ...
It would be such a gala event when I do conceive ...
Tomorrow will probably be even worse at the funeral, with eyes staring at my tummy and them whispering behind my back ... God give me strength ...
I know I have alot to be grateful for, but hell I'm human and its my right to feel sad if I want to ...
this week has not been great ... sometimes I wish I could just disappear until everyone backs off and then re-appear ... but I will probably be a coward ... after all your body just ends on earth when u die, but your spirit lives on ... its all part of God's test I guess ... He is probably just testing us and bettering us for heaven ...
PS: please think of me tomorrow ...

Daily thought and prayer
Verse: Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.
- There is only one place we will find the rest our hearts long for.
- We need to find our rest in God.
- We spend our time running after things that do not fulfill us.
- God wants us to stop and be still and know that He is God.
Prayer: Lord, in the busyness of life, I forget that You are able and that You want to give me the rest my heart so longs for. Forgive me and help me to be still. I pray that You will cause the reality of Your greatness to be a reality to me. Amen.
Have a great Tuesday.

Be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.
- There is only one place we will find the rest our hearts long for.
- We need to find our rest in God.
- We spend our time running after things that do not fulfill us.
- God wants us to stop and be still and know that He is God.

My long overdue update
Hi
Well I haven't posted in a long while. My last post was before Christmas, I think over a month ago.
Well I just wanted to update everyone on my life.
Christmas was great. We had so much fun and spent the day with my family. D was so happy for his gift and we could not get him away from the karaoke singing that my sister had planned for the day. We ate so much and me being on the heavy side have picked up so much weight over the festive season alone. Well last cycle I was ovulating over Christmas weekend, but did not make much of an effort to try and conceive. I jsut decided to enjoy some time with the family and with R and with D.
New year's day was also just quiet. We decided to just stay home and put the pool up for D. My sister them came over to our house and we had a braai.
This year I want to do so much and want to try and stick to my resolutions.
Me and R will work together and place everything in God's hands to accomplish the following:

Me and R will work together and place everything in God's hands to accomplish the following:
- finish all our debts by end of this year
- loose some weight before TTC again
- we have started dieting and exercising together
- save to take D to the sea as he has never been to the sea
- start studying or do a leadership development course offered through our company
- help R get his license
Well, I know all these things we can achieve together and through our God.
Take care and God bless

My week's end
Well from feeling down, to happy, to excited, to a yoyo, I'm glad this week is finally over...
Well I had so much to deal with this week. So much stress, worry and sadness. Sometimes it feels as though I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and other times I feel as if my tunnel has no end. Oh well, I hope my weekend turns out to be much better.
Just a quick update on me and my family.
Me:
Ok, apart from feeling all the mixed emotions, I'm in a space now where my marriage is getting back on track. Though we've been through so many ups and downs, I think we finally understanding each other and not expecting too much from each other. As you all know my TTC journey has been put on hold, I was excited when I was 2 days late. Oh well, maybe God wants us to focus on strengthening our marriage first.
God, please hold your hand over our marriage. Bless us, oh Lord, for only you know what we going through. Amen
R:
Well R has been through tremendous stress and its not making it easier on our marriage.
R, I know what you going through and want you to know I'm here for you, in good times and in bad.
Love you lots!
D:
Well, apart from D being my little bundle of joy, he can be very demanding sometimes - LOL.
I was so stressed this week when he fell sick. He is asthmatic and even a cold can trigger an asthma attack. I hope that the weather would stop changing so much. Well at least, he is better now. Ok, apart from all this, he had put me under more stress, by bursting a water pipe at my mom's house - LOL. My little gardner wanted to gardent and hit the water pipe with a steel rake. "Sorry mommy", D. Ok and the same night he broke the toilet and almost the bathroom window. Mr Mechanic - LOL ... so cute
D, love you lots, even if I shout at you, sorry baby.
Ok! So that's us and our update in a nutshell.
Will post how the weekend went on Monday.
