A break from Social Media

-
The past 21 days I have been sweet tea & social media free. The first week I thought I was going to die if i didn't have a sweet tea ( I normally drink atleast two glasses a day) but with each day that went by it got easier. Social media on the other hand was easy!! I didn't mind not being on Facebook or Instagram but I did miss blogging!! I'm not going to lie it was actually very nice not being on Facebook, I didn't get caught up reading all the nonsense that is constantly posted on there. I found myself having more time for myself and my family. Also, not having Facebook has showed me that there is more to life outside of social media & I do believe that certain social media is the devil and that there is NO good that comes from it. Although I will be keeping my facebook activated since I use it to keep up with our church group & my family.. I will make a promise to myself that I will not let it consume my life like it did before I did the 21 day fast.  

A lot has happened in 21 days... 

Our church had a Valentine's banquet last week, Bradley did the entertainment by playing guitar and singing a couple songs. He did great! I didn't tell him how great I thought he did like I should have but my heart did melt when he started his last song... He said "I have been practicing this song this week & I want to dedicate it to Kymberly, I love you!" the song was Baby I'm amazed by you by Lonestar. No one has ever dedicated a song to me. And I think just because of everything that has happened between Bradley & I it meant that much more to me. It was the sweetest thing ever! 

Owen went to Chuck-E-Cheese for the first time, he loved it!! It was Bradley's first time to go to Chuck-E-Cheese too, he was ready to go after about an hour. LOL!! 
 
I started a new job in February (absolutely love it!!) & I also chopped 10 inches off my hair. We got two new dogs. Bradley & I have started thinking about our 5 year plan. I am so excited for everything that is happening in our crazy, fun, always on the go, full of love, life! KH

Wow... Never saw that coming

 One morning Bradley and I were texting about Owen then the conversation took a quick turn to how Bradley wanted his family back. He said he had watched the movie Heaven is for real and he had a dream that him, Owen and myself were a family again and we were in church living right. He said it was like God was telling him to quit being stubborn and stupid and to get his family back. What do you say that?? I remember my exact words were "I don't know what to say, you have a girlfriend!!" and he said " And would I drop her for my family? in the blink of an eye!!" How could I believe a word this man was saying? How could I ever trust him again? We talked a lot the next few days about what he wanted. I didn't know what I wanted. It all seemed nice and would be great if it could actually work out, but could it?? Bradley wanted to meet up and talk, for two days I made no plans but to wait around and talk to Bradley. We never met up. He had every excuse to why we di...

We needed God's help!

The next day was a Sunday, and I had been going to church with my friend Melanie. I had told Bradley the night before how Owen & I were going and how if he was wanting to try to work things out then he needed to get in church too. We needed God's help!! We couldn't do it alone. Bradley said he was going to go to church with us, I wanted to believe he would show up but I had no trust for him. That Sunday morning he actually showed up! I was very surprised and happy. Bradley & I started spending time together as a family, with Owen. I wasn't sure what I thought about it yet, it felt weird! All I could think about was him and his ex-girlfriend. Some days I still think about them and how crappy the whole thing was. Since Bradley and I did everything backwards, (pregnant then marriage) we never got a chance to date. I believed this was God's way of letting us date and fall in love the right way.  We continued to go to church and to spend time together, we didn't...

Pray. Wait. Trust.

We have all heard it--  Pray. Wait. Trust. Much easier said than done, right?  It's easy to pray but when you talk about waiting and trusting that's a little harder. Especially if it's not in "our" timeline. For the past year & a half I have prayed for a job closer to my family (I drive 35 mins to work each day) I tried waiting & trusting. Then I tried putting it back in my own hands. (That didn't work!!) Finally, I prayed and trusted that when the time was right God would send something my way. Before Christmas break I was offered a job 25 mins closer to home. I was unsure at first what to do & if this was God's will or if this was my doings. I prayed more & I decided to take the job.  January 3rd was my first day. I walked in the office & went to my room and one of the first things I noticed was my mouse pad. It said " Faith, nothing shall be impossible for you Matthew 17:20"  Leaving my previous job was hard because o...
