Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013

As 2012 is ending and a new year is about to begin in less than 2 days, I have been thinking about what all transpired in my life this year. In April, my son was born. What a true blessing he is from God. After my divorce in 2011, I truly thought I would never have a family of my own. Low and behold, I got pregnant in July 2011 and had him April 2012. I truly do not know how some (not all) people can say God is against XYZ. If God thought divorce was wrong and that being an unwed mother was wrong, then tell me how after 6 years of marriage and trying to conceive, how come I never got pregnant and then I ended up pregnant with my son who is not his? Just a little question to think about.

Every month has been a blessing. Just one more day seeing my beautiful, amazing son learn and grow. His laugh, his smile, just lights up a room. I am in so much trouble when he is into girls when he is 40! All seriousness, Daniel is my little blessing. He is so amazing. I am fortunate enough to have amazing family & a close few friends who never have given up on me, and have always been at my side through rough times and the amazing times.

Another aspect of my life that has changed was the job. Unfortunately, after 9 years of service with my boss, I had to leave. I will not go into what really happened, but it made me sad to have to make that decision. I should point out I only talk to a couple of previous co-workers to this day, no one else talks to me anymore from there. I am glad I got out of the car business though. I decided after quite a few attempts at finding a new job, to go back to school. I started in July for Medical Assisting, and now I have less than 1.5 classes left until externship, then come April, along with my son's 1st birthday, I graduate.

Lastly, to sum up 2012, I started going to church last week. Something inside of me was telling me to go. I have been craving, yes craving to go. I feel something wonderful in church. A sanctuary if you will. A place to gather my thoughts, learn scripture/lessons, strengthen my Faith in God, and remind myself that I need to be more grounded and not fly off the handle at petty things so much anymore.

What is coming for me in 2013? Only good things. I am looking forward to celebrating my son's 1 year birthday. I graduate from college for Medical Assisting and hopefully, I will be hired full time at the health care facility. I definitely want to continue to go to church and even maybe getting baptized for the first time in my life. 2013 is going to be an even better year!!!!
