Being In A Place Call The Unknown!

We all go through the unknown places in our lives! Places where we are not comfortable in, places that can bring confusion, disappointment, and pain.

This is where I am now, a place where I did not ever prepare myself to be.  Being in a place called the unknown! I never prepared myself to be a stay at home mom nor prepared to become sick now considered disabled.  Most of us go to school to get a good education, when we are finished hope to get a good job, and in hopes to build a family. Some are looking to buy a car, a house, put savings away to build for your future, ect., some even prepare to be a stay at home mom or dad. This is all good for those who have put thought in all these things even being a stay at home mom.

I look back on my life and when my oldest son was born I was a senior in high school and had a part-time job.  I had my family that helped me raise my son and he grew up becoming a wonderful young man. We all have choices in life and my chose was to work alongside my husband to help build our lives spiritually and financially.

What do you do when the unexpected comes along, that place called the unknown? I’m newly married we have a 10 month old son and I’m now a stay at mom not by choice with a disability. What do I do? Well I’ve been here now for 6 months and I cried all the tears that I can cry it’s now time to take my life back. Embrace what is in front of me. Embrace the fact that I am a stay at home mom now and I am alive I have a child that needs me to stay strong for him, and I have a loving husband that is so supportive of me.  Life is what we make it! Am I happy with what has happened to me becoming sick and all? No! What can I do about it? Nothing! But what I can do is change my thought life. I can walk, talk, and breathe, this is a start. I may not be able to do the things I use to do walk long distances, ride a bike, run up and down the stairs doing laundry. It may take me time to do some things but that’s ok, I have nothing but time on my hands.

What helps me through my days? Pray, reading Gods word, praise and worship, spending time with family and friends. I’m learning to embrace this place called the unknown because it’s making me into a better mother, wife, and friend.

Embrace life today for tomorrow is not promised to us we have today to live for!
