Whirlwind.
It's kind of how I feel the last school year has been for me. I've never had such a challenging year as this one. Students have been hard-work has been overwhelming, and I've really struggled with my physical and spiritual health. I sort of dropped off the planet-hence the negligence to my blog and visiting other blogs.
I've struggled to just 'be'.
I just returned from a trip to Disneyland. I love that place. Lots. I saw so many little families there on their Spring Break vacations-and it really hit me. I really want to be a wife and a mommy. It's a deep desire I have-one I've had my whole life. I keep wondering if it really is ever going to happen for me. It's hard-being in the profession I am in-there isn't much opportunity for me to meet someone. I work with almost all women...all day. And this year will make a total of about 270 little students for me. But of course, I knew that-coming into this line of work. I am grateful for the experiences I have had, however, as a teacher. It's been such a journey for me.
But I really do want to have my own little family journey. Someday soon.
Time is slipping away...not that I am old, but, honestly, a lot of my close friends I grew up with have had all the children they are going to have at their mid-30's...and are just watching them grow up now. Anyways, spending time at Disneyland was sort of a 'millionth' wake up call for me. I want this future that Heavenly Father has promised me. I need to find out what ELSE I need or should/should not be doing to have that dream become my reality.
