Faith and Fear

In the beginning of our journey I was told by so many that it’s gets easier I’m not going to lie it doesn’t get easier you just find a new normal. It’s an illusion that’s it’s easier. You still have the stress, endless doctors appointments, therapy appointments, medication changes, routines that are being changed, new people coming in and out of your lives friendships that come and go etc. 
My anxiety attacks are no longer happening multiple times a day for no rhyme or reason (I can’t tell you the last time I had one actually 🙌🏻 also knocking on some wood right now) 
I had made a post the other day about being worried when I dropped Kaiya off at school. I surprisingly have had very little anxiety through this process this year. Last spring completely different story. I have come to the realization that for the most part whatever happens to Kaiya is out of my hands. I can do everything within my power to protect her and she may still one day be taken from me before I would like. I have accepted that she will have many many people in and out of her life always. I can choose to sit and be miserable wondering about the what’s if’s or praise that she is doing this well that she’s able to attend school. And I will pray for the staff that watches over her and her classmates who will be in contact with her. 

Do you know what has changed over time? My fear. I don’t let my fear control me. 
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
II Timothy 1:7 NKJV  
There is no room for fear in our hearts, don’t let it have power!  Every time I let fear in I let that anger take over I cry I vent. I PRAY. He assures me always that He is taking care of it, that there is no room for fear. God is constantly working in all areas in our lives. He will never abandon us. 
I remember one of the first scriptures Kohen memorized was Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."”  There is a reason for that. He wants us to always remember He is with us, we have no reason to fear as long as we remain faithful.

To blog or not to?

I'm honestly not sure why I stopped so long ago. I wish I didn't because looking back I love the memories that I did write about. Then of course life happens. I can't believe it's been so long since I have written anything.  I used this as sort of a diary and I'm so sad that I didn't keep up with it.  I'm going to be adding bits and pieces here and there from the past as I find them. Lots will probably be from Facebook posts.  I want to be able to look back and see life's blessings. The good and the bad. The bad is what makes you treasure the good that much more. It makes you stronger. It makes me lean on God that much more. My faith just grows and grows. I want to share it all with everyone that wants to read about our lives.

Things Kohen says

I’m going to update this as I find them and he says them. 3/26/2018 Conversations with Kohen on the way to school. K-Do you think they will take away our 2nd amendment? M-No, but they might try.  What happens when they do take away that? K-Like what Hitler did, he was controlling and powerful, killed a lot. Kohen actually went into more depth than what I put on here and I was pretty surprised which I shouldn’t be. 2/23/2018 On the way home from school Kohen looks at Kaiya and says “ugh...mean mom, why didn’t she take your braces off? Don’t worry I’ll take them off” “There you go, now give me your other foot so I can get that one too.” “Is that better?” “I bet your more comfortable now aren’t you?” “Mom, Kaiya smiled so she must have liked that I took them off right?” My heart just grows and grows for this boys heart. I didn’t think anything about Kaiya having her afo’s on but Kohen was very concerned that she was uncomfortable. 6/20/2015 Kohen trying to convince his ...
