Phoenix Rising: selfishness

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2011/09/selfishness.html

This is a bit convoluted, so sorry in advance.I just wanted to get it out before life gets loud and I forget my thoughts. There's a huge part of me that still screams out "give me back my daughter(s)! Tonight, the band played Never Let Go. Not sure who wrote it.but it just really rang true tonight. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Your perfect love is casting out fear. And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life. I won't turn back, I know you are near.

Phoenix Rising: my little, big boy

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-little-big-boy.html

My little, big boy. The rocking chair in Greyson's room is pushed into the South-West corner of his room. Every time I nurse/rock him to sleep, I stand up, cradling him in my arms as his head nestles into the crook of my neck. I always love that feeling. His warm breath against my skin. Today, as I was relishing in the joy of snuggling my baby, I looked up into that mirror and almost fell over. Where did my little baby go? Here's to you my sweet little boy. You are a joy and a blessing to my family.

Phoenix Rising: memories

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2013/01/memories.html

I feel horrible. I use this blog as a way to reach out to people, yes, but I also use it as a memory for me and my family. And I have sucked at it lately! Poor Grey. He still has no birth story or baby book made. He gets very little posts about him. But at least I can say that what he lacks in books, posts and pictures.he overflows with love and laughter and memories fill my mind! So here's a catch-up. What a crazy dude you are! You're full of it and I remind you of that nearly every day! You are full of...

Phoenix Rising: The in-between

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-between.html

I have to admit that some times, I truly fantasize about death. Not because I'm morbid or suicidal. Not because I truly want to be, but because I'm only half.or maybe three quarters here on earth. I fantasize about who I'll see first. Jesus? Or will I see my daughters. Will I care? Some people don't understand why we celebrate the births of our daughters. Really, is it something we should be celebrating? It was a horror movie played out in our lives.why are we celebrating it? I'm a mama of four, though m...

Phoenix Rising: Outraged by our society.

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2013/04/outraged-by-our-society.html

Outraged by our society. I don't want a debate. I don't mean to offend anyone with this post. This is just my raw emotion post. Http:/ www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/04/why-dr-kermit-gosnells-trial-should-be-a-front-page-story/274944/. What about the deplorable conditions that gave women diseases? The deaths of women? The fact that people actually worked for this guy, saw women in pain, would drug women to the brink, saw severed infant body parts that Gosnell was keeping as souvenirs? Some as ...

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2012/02/broken-things-julie-and-buddy-miller.html

Broken Things Julie (and Buddy) Miller. Totally random. But today I've been a bit weepy.not sure why.hormones or the loss of the house we really wanted or exhaustion.I don't know and it doesn't matter. But as I was sitting here tring to complete my BSF. Study for the week, this song popped up. It's always held such a special place in my heart so I wanted to share. It's Broken Things by Julie Miller. Such a beautiful song. You can have my heart. Though it isn't new. It's been used and broken. View my comp...

Phoenix Rising: Parenting woes.

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2012/10/parenting-woes.html

This topic has been on my mind a ton lately so I figured I'd write out my feelings for others to relate to or maybe learn from.Let me start here. Children grow and learn on different time frames. And thankfully, most if not all of my friends feel the same, those words that were spoken over 3 years ago, still crept in and took root. So this is what I'd like to say. And vice-versa. Some kids are just tiny.some are giants.hence my children. How would that make you feel? Amen to all of it! And for the record...

Phoenix Rising: Something I've been wrestling with

http://phoenix3rising.blogspot.com/2011/12/something-ive-been-wrestling-with.html

Something I've been wrestling with. Preface.this is me verbally vomiting a faith struggle of mine. I'm a work in progress, especially in my faith walk. I'm just trying to wrap my mind and heart around. Prayer. Prayer has always been a common sense thing to me.a way to praise God, a way to talk to him, a way to ask for forgiveness, help.you name it, it's an open conversation. An ever willing open ear.and one that doesn't even talk back! His is my issue. I know this may sound silly.but I was watching t...
