Wisdom-
I know it says seven things a wife cannot do, but I think it suits even just a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
I wish I would have been more knowledgable about past relationships. With Christ a huge part of them! The bible says so much how you should act and give in a relationship!
I'll know better for next time!

Going through the motions
College.
Such a small word with a huge meaning. But before I start talking about that I want to say that I have accepted Christ into my life! I have never felt better about a decision.
Life has been a roller coaster these past weeks. A lot of interesting things have happened. My life has changed so much in so little time.
My first day of college was a mess. I have a yoga class to start off my day at grcc at 7:45 AM. I woke up around 6:00 thinking I would have plenty of time to get myself ready and Easton. Was I right? Nope. I ended up gettig to class at 8:10 and my instructor was not happy. Not to mention having a class full of older women staring at you does not help at all. After the class was done I have time to study before my next class. And of course I got lost. I don't even know how I did. Every building on campus is right next to each other. To be honest I wanted to give up right there. I called my mom crying saying I couldn't do it! It was pretty overwhelming! There is tons of people. So different from high school. And it's not even a university so I couldn't imagine what some of my pals are going though! I give them props. But Tuesday seemed to go somewhat better. I have a general health class that I have to take for the LPN program and I absolutely love it! It is a really tough course, with a lot of studying and homework but I wouldn't trade it got anything! Plus my instructor is really nice and she is a RN, LPN so he has a lot of cool stories from the ER. Also her daughter is Ginger Zee, the meteorologist for Good Morning America! I already have my first test next Tuesday and I am really nervous but I am sure I will be fine. I also have an algebra class that I do not look forward to. It's two days a week two hours long :( gotta do what you gotta do!
Starting the 18th of this month I am taking a CNA (certified nursing assistant) class to get my certificate so I can get started in the health care field. I am really excited its three days a week 5:30-10 at night! It will be tough but very worth it.
I find myself missing Easton so much, it is hard being away from him. I am worried our relationship will be different because I don't see him as much. And I don't want him to forget I'm his mom or the bond we shared. I want him to j is I am doing this all for him so WE can have a good life in the future. That it won't be like this for long. I feel guilty knowing I don't have a full time job, a house, and a car that isn't broke down half the time. It is a struggle but with God by my side and in my heart anything is possible. With continued support from my Mom and Dad I can do this! Even if it takes a little bit. I never judge others or the choices they make because EVERYONE has a story. There is a reason for everything. I focus on the moment. What happened in the past is the past. There is no way to change it. And why worry about tomorrow? It hasn't come yet. I live in the moment. It's tough at times. But it's how I get through the days.
This scripture have been helping me with school, and being a mom.
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Guidance.
Everyone needs guidance. Even the people who have it all. You can never get enough.
I am not afraid to admit I need guidance. I tend to think I have it all together and I don't need help, but deep down I know that's not true. I still ask my mom for help for A LOT of things. For example with school, jobs, Easton, parenting, advice on life, and relationships in my life. Honestly I would be lost without guidance. I am a very forgetful person. I tend to be really unorganized at times. Tend to slip and fall off the right path. I need positive direction when it comes to guidance which like I said I can find in my mom. But I want to find guidance in myself. I want to be able to make myself determined and focused, without others help. Don't get me wrong I will always be willing to listen to peoples opinion, but the most important thing to me is to find it within myself. With school coming up and working I absolutely NEED to stay focused. Going to church has helped me a lot though. It has helped me realize God can be a important part of guidance within yourself. My goal for the next couple months is to find guidance within myself to help me get through this first trimester or school!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.
Psalm 32:8

In due time..
Over the past couple of weeks, I have realized a lot. 1. I want a closer relationship with God. 2. How much writing my thought and prayers done makes EVERYTHING better. I really miss posting on my blog, even though I did it for a short time, I remember how good it feels to release things. Since I've last posted on my blog many things have changed, and gotten better. I met an awesome guy who accepted me and my son Easton. I graduated high school. Learned to let old friends go, and let new ones come into my life. And learned to handle life situations in a way I haven't before. I have been through a lot in life, but I never really realized how to handle situations in a calm matter, and to think about the problems I had logically. I have never been good with handling my emotions and not let them make my decisions for me. Life throws you punches that you have to deal with. Being a 17 year old mother has changed me, and how I look at things and react to them. I will admit I have not been handling what God has dealt me very well. And I want to seek God to help me with this. A great friend of mine told me this. " God has a plan, he already knows your life, and everything that will happen to you. It't how you deal with the plans he gives, that makes you a better person." And she is very right.God knows the plans he has for you. How you learn from the plans, and the obsticales is what will make you a better person. If there wasn't obstacles in your life, you would never know right from wrong, or what is best for YOU. I am trying to find ways to keep " peace of mind " and to think things through logically without making drastic decisions that will change your life forever. It is a very tricky thing to do. I have been praying constantly, going to church, yoga, and taking vitamins to help my body reclinse, leaving the social networking world, and to live a better life not only for me but for my son. The life I was living was very unhealthy, and depressing. I have been speaking with a therapist which also really helps. I am not asking for sympathy or to make people people feel differently, but letting the world know it is possible to change your way of thinking or to live a better life. My son is the most important thing to me. I think it is unfair for him to see me make bad choices, or my unhealthy lifestyle. I want to be calm, and peaceful for him. I want to teach him to be a awesome man. Who respects himself and women. Who loves his mother, and will love his children. It is all a lot to think about, and it is a long ways down the road. But if I can change myself early enough I will do it for him. I have also found myself being very anxious or constantly worrying about what my future holds, and who will be in my life now and a year from now. I never focus on what is happening right NOW. I will admit it. I fear the future. I fear of failure. I fear disappointment. I fear rejection. Who doesn't? But there are great scriptures that have helped me with my anxiety. Here are a few:
"Never be anxious about the next day for the next day will have it's own worries."
Matthew 6:34
"Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I, your God, have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go."
Isaiah 41:10,13
"For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen only lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever."
2 Corinthians 4:18
I fear that I have lost many relationships I wish I hadn't. But I can only grow from the experience, and LEARN from it. Know what better to do next time. Know what not to do. I always say I will learn, but I always seem not to. It's time for me to think positive and realize there is hope for tomorrow. Hope for a change. It is absolutely never to late to change. My life starts now. I am to young to not hope for a bright and better future. I start school this fall currently at GRCC, and will transfer to KCC next semester. I will be living at home with my parents through my first year of school. It is important for me to not get overwhelmed and just take the support while I have it. Easton will be going to daycare full time, while I will be in school full time. It will be a busy time, but I am ready to take it on.
It felt really good to write this blog. I will update on my life hopefully every week. Don't want to promise too much ;)
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 12:28

Finally
Well I finally found a way to post regularly and I'm very happy about it. My iPhone has an app just for blogger! Yay. There's a lot to catch you all up on so I will just sum it up in a couple paragraphs.
Christmas was great this year! My family from Wisconsin came up to visit us so they could see Easton! It was awesome they did that. It meant a lot to me too. Easton got quite a bit for only being six months but I know it'll last us awhile so I'm not complaining. Christmas we definitely different this year for myself though. It was my first Christmas where it wasn't all about me. It was a odd feeling. It was my job now to make Christmas special for someone else. Even though bean could have known otherwise it still wa the other way around this year. Overall it was awesome though! New years was alright, could have been better. Me and Easton went to sleep around 9 lame I know but we were both sleepy. I felt bad not watching the ball drop but oh well.
Emotionally I have been having my ups and downs. Dealing w school work taking care of Easton has been an adventure. Not to mention when your baby is sick it's hard not to worry about him all day. At school I see all these people that don't have to worry about the things I do, I'm somewhat r jealous! But I wouldnt change Easton for anything in the world. He has changed me for the better. I love who I am now. I am deffinatley not the person I was a couple years ago. Ii find myself smarter, observant, and kind. I have discovered more about myself in this past year, than my whole whole entire life.
My routine daily is wake up, get myself ready, get Easton ready, leave for school, go to school, work, come home, feed Easton dinner, let him play and roll lol, bathe him, feed him a bottle, bedtime for both of us. I'm a pro now ; )
I plan on updating more daily now that I have this handy app!
