beauty

Its been a while since I last posted. I have realized that I yearn to write, there are many times daily that I want to just write for hours about how a certain topic may make me feel or what is going through my head. But so many times I just drop it to see what more can come from these thoughts.

My past weekend made me feel so special. My mother-in-law planned a surprise shower for me which led to my mother surprising me and one of my closest friends. It was beautiful and made me realize how blessed I am to have such amazing women in my life.

Junebug is going to be blessed beyond belief when she comes, and she already is. She has such beautiful examples of love and such beautiful women to look up to the rest of her life.

Besides such a wonderful weekend full of surprises. I realized that this is how every woman should feel, especially during pregnancy. Every woman should feel so overwhelmed by love and prayers that there isn't a doubt in her mind that this is what she is made to do and to be. My heart this weekend was overflowed with beauty, love, prayers, and gratefulness. So tell me why doesn't every woman feel this in her heart as she is preparing to welcome her new babe into this world? It is a shame how woman are seen and treated in today's world.

Pregnancy and motherhood are seen as wonderful and beautiful things but so many people see it as such a shame to be pregnant so young. So many people, as many have seen, see pregnancy as something to be over and done with, rather than what we are called as women to do and be. It is a shame how woman are looked down in society and how we are seen as shameful and that this time is not seen as the beautiful and wonderful thing that pregnancy and becoming a mother really is. Every woman should feel loved and showered with such beauty and love.

I am thankful that I am surrounded by such love and beauty.
