That Time of Year......
We are just finishing the holidays and the time of year that is suppose to be jolly, full of joy, exciting, a season of giving, full of laughter and fun,..........

Does this not ring true of you right now?  Do people tell you to get into the spirit of the season, and you can't find it anywhere......Do you feel like you are on the outside looking in? Do you feel like you are lost, numb, sad, lonely, in the midst of the busiest and most decorated, song filled season of the year? 

It is easy for those who have been overwhelmed by life to get lost in the sea of everything that happens during the holidays, and completely over looked. 

Sometimes we don't realize that we have wounds that are related to traumas in our life and there are triggers that set us off. We are actually unaware and don't even realize that some of our reactions are in response to those traumas. Traumas come in many different forms, loss of loved ones, physical trauma, emotional trauma, something big that effected your life and you didn't realize it. Sometimes it is many of the same little things that add up to a big trauma.  

It is okay to not feel as joyful as everyone else. It is okay to need quiet time by yourself. It is okay to not enjoy every single one of the traditions of the season. It is okay to take time to process your emotions and feelings. It is okay to need a time out, if traumas in your life cause triggers during this time of the year........It is okay to feel.

This is more common than you think and despite what you are going through, you are not forgotten. I want you to know that God sees you and He is right there for you whenever you need him. This is what helps me to get through the hard times. Even when I don't know what to pray, He is there and He understands what I am going through. 

I pray that this holiday season and new year bring a freedom to feel and release all those things that you feel weighing you down in life. May the Lord Bless you and keep you, May the Lord Make is face to shine upon you, May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you His Peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

Mom Life!

 

Here we go again..... this was my feeling with the extreme emotions and deep feeling reactions my 2nd youngest went through daily. 

I started to monitor when they happened and noticed she would sometimes get a red rash around her mouth as well.....I knew something was off.

This led to extra monitoring, documentation, etc....and realizing that she reacted every time we had a wheat heavy meal. So we started to eliminate a large portion of wheat/ gluten heavy meals from our diet. Her extreme emotional reactions began to calm and her rash would appear less. 

We made a doctor appointment and he said the best thing to do was to change our diet. 

Let me tell you, there is nothing like confirmation for what you were pretty sure was wrong and have been monitoring. Especially when as a mom, I know that I know my child the best. 

Do you listen to your intuition? Your gut? Or as I like to call it in my case, mommy gut? 

I have come to see this as one of God's gifts to us. The ability to sense when something is off, to feel the Holy Spirit leading us, to have the deep feeling that you know something is bothering your little ones and there is something that can help them you just have to search it out and pray to figure it out.....

I have done this on many occasions for my little ones. And there has been some fun and strange situations. But through it all, through observation, mommy gut, evidence based documentation, and throw a couple doctor visits in there too, God has lead me to many solutions for my family. 

The process is not always the same and each solution has been different, but that amazing God given and God lead instinct, mommy gut, is an amazing tool that has helped me to resolve some interesting situations in my family.
