Self-Control and Responsibility Is Hard
I’m currently at Babies-R-Us with my cousin and her new baby. I’m just dieng at all the cuteness. Daniel and I are so ready to have a little Baby Hendricks, but we’re just not quite able to yet. We’re praying that all will go well this year with money and everything else… then hopefully we can start trying next year after our 5th anniversary. Waiting now though can be...
Happy Mothers' Day!

I take things too personally sometimes…
Tomorrow is going to start a difficult five weeks. Five weeks full of very long commutes, end-of-school-year-insanity, early mornings and little sleep, and just having to get used to a brand new school… again. But I believe it will be worth it in the end. I just hate going into things blind and unexpected. I have very little basis for what this job will entail. Hopefully after my first day,...

Did you have a happy childhood? they asked. Did? I asked back. Funny, I suppose I never knew it had ended.

There is a difference between being “childish” and being “child-like.” I hope to never lose my “child-like” sense of wonder, fun, hope, and faith. Forever a child at heart.
Lots on my mind right now. So many things coming up and happening. Lots of happy things. Some stressful things. Many unknown things. Lots of hoped for things.
I just really don’t like change, and decisions, and uncertainty… even if they may be leading to great things.
Trying to rely fully on God. I am thankful for His blessings in the past, in the present, and in the future.

Today my mom was telling me that an old friend’s son from our church in Michigan is graduating from WTMC this year. At first, I thought it was neat that he had gone there too. Then it hit me: I BABYSAT HIM! I feel so old!!
Kids I babysat should not be graduating from high school.

I am slightly terrified to start my new job on Wednesday… it’s just so many things. I have to keep telling myself that it’s only 8 weeks… and I can do it. I am well-trained. I am capable. I am meant for this job. I can overcome my fears, worries, and stress. I can do all things through Christ!

This blog (even though it’s aimed toward dads) is making me desperately want a daughter. Reading through these posts makes me so sentimental thinking about my own daddy and about Daniel being a dad one day. I’ve always said that even though I want at least one daughter I thought I would enjoy having boys more, but I can see a lot of wonderful things about having girls too. Someday I...

I’m too emotional for my own good sometimes… and, yet, I mostly consider it a strength. *contradictions?*

Yet again...
More job applications/interviews that lead to nothing. I’m back to square one in my search again. It’s getting frustrating. *sigh*

Please Ignore the Fragments and Say a Little...
I have an interview on Tuesday.
For a job I really want.
Interviews make me very nervous.
Just found out one of my good friends from Lee is also interviewing for the position.
Which I am not too happy about.
All of this stresses me out.
But I have a very good recommendation from my current principal.
And I am trusting God.
Praying for His favor!
I am trying to stifle some jealousy right now.
One of my friends from grad school just announced that she is pregnant. (With some absolutely adorable pictures on Facebook I might add, “save the date” just baby, not wedding, themed.) While I am SO incredibly excited and happy for her, I am also feeling some major jealousy pangs. It’s not like we’re even “trying”...
