2019 So Far...

Oh, hi there, it's me again. 


Yep, this ol' blog still exists. It just sits out here in the inter web world doing nothing but collecting dust and cobwebs and every once in a while inspiration strikes me like rain in a desert and I just *have* to write. I dust off the cobwebs a little bit, look around, sigh, and walk away, possibly never to return. Who knows.


A lot has happened this year. I can't believe it's already May. Time seems to fly by faster every year I get a little older. It's a funny thing. I can't go into great detail about what has been going on in my life this year, but a lot has changed. I've learned a lot of new things about myself and feel like a different person almost. Maybe not so much different, but just... better, a better person. And it has been so good.

A few things I can share about my life are...


Early in this year I started a YouTube channel which has been a fun and interesting experience. I record and edit the videos completely from my phone and I'm pretty sure you can tell because the quality is lacking but, oh well. I'm working with what I've got for now. I kind of can't decide if I want to keep doing that or not, and to be vulnerable with you, I fear it will end up the same way this blog has. Basically abandoned.

Other exciting things that have happened this year are:


Our baby, Solace, turned one! I was looking at the last post on this blog and I was pregnant with him the last time I wrote here and now he's one! It's so hard to believe, yet also so hard to even remember life with out him. He is such an awesome little guy and I count myself privileged to be his mother. I can't wait to see what his future looks like, but I also want him to stay my little baby forever.


Less than a month after Solace turned one, Titus turned THREE! HOW??? Just, wow, I don't really know what to say. It's a funny thing when your baby is more of a "kid" and has full on conversations with you. Sometimes It's hard to even remember him as a baby. I am so thankful I took tons of pictures and videos to look back on because I seriously think I would have forgotten at least half of it all.

Annnd another thing, Kurtis started his own business this year! What?! Yep! I'm not going to share what it is for privacy reasons but it is in landscaping. I am so so proud of him. It is the coolest thing to see the one you love following their dreams and doing something that makes them happy and being able to be a part of it behind the scenes.


So, yep, that is 2019 in a nutshell.  I'm excited to share and excited at the possibility of writing here again. If I don't soon, maybe I will see you next year? Ha Ha Ha.

I am excited to see what the rest of this year brings.

Thanks for reading,

- Courtney

Insecurities

I probably haven't drawn anything since my son was born. I haven't really had much time for drawing, or any other hobby really. And honestly, if I have had time, I feel so sleep deprived and fuzzy-minded that all I want to do is scroll through Instagram or watch YouTube videos. So the other day I decided to give it a try since it had been so long. It used to be that my problem was running out of ideas to draw, now my problem is I have plenty of ideas, but a lack of motivation. The word came to me. Grace. It's been the main theme of my life lately. I mean of course... isn't it for all Christians? Yes, but it has been the main word I speak over my day that gives me peace in these days of new motherhood. I'm exhausted. Grace. I don't have the attention span to read my Bible. Grace. The only prayer I've prayed today is "Thanks God". Grace. I want to say you can't use grace as a crutch, I mean it's definitely not an excuse, but in all tru

Surprised by Motherhood

A few years ago if you would have told me I was going to be a mother in a couple years I would have replied "Yeah right!". Because two years ago, I didn't want to be a mother. Looking back now I believe that feeling sprouted from fear of the unknown, but also disbelief. Disbelief that I couldn't be a mother. That I wasn't good enough to parent a child. An ache grew in my stomach. A conviction. I fought the desire to be a mom. I would always focus on the negative side of parenting and focus on all of the things I loved about my life that I didn't want to change. But when God calls you to something that is truly your calling, you can't fight it. You can try, but you won't win. Having interest in the blogosphere, I found women I like to call "blogger moms". I found handfuls of women sharing their stories. They shared openly their about their feelings, their flaws, but also how the glory of God shines so brightly through it all. One blog
