My Cup, My Life

   Well, this is my third time at attempting to blog. I've had mixed feelings about it, "Who cares about what I have to say", "Is my life that interesting", Well, honestly this time it's about healing. Healing is what I long for and healing is what I need. So, I thought the best way to do this is to write down my thoughts and feelings. Yes, I could have just did a journal but what if along the way I can be encouraged!? Or, Someone can be encouraged be me!?  Maybe, just maybe this will be the year of less sorrow, less death, and less valleys. And more...JOY, LAUGHTER and LOVE!!

 

Here's a little recap of my life:

Grew up in a good Christian home, we went to church, we were all involved in church. Not to much to say about our family but that we were just truckin' along in life. In 1992 life was about to hit a mountain! CANCER!! My Mom was diagnosed with Leukemia. Her battle was long and very hard for the whole family! She passed away on April 1st 1994. Rocked our world and never left it the same. While in this state of wha?! and disbelief, I found my lifestyle in a state of disbelief too! Really, God? My first death experience has to be my moms? I'm 18 and lost. I meet Brandon several years earlier at different youth functions and always had an eye for him even if he didn't know it, haha. It's February 1995 and I see him with my brother at church, so, with a few chats with my brother Brandon and I are together :) UNSEPARATABLE! and..... with that a baby on the way. Married on May 13th 1995. Crystopher born November 27th 1995 and Allie born May 19th 1997. Welcome to life with the Trujillo's!

 

Fast Forward to 2010 Life is Good!

We are truckin' along making memories with our little family. Then, CANCER!! My mother-in-law is diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! We are rocked to the core, and many decisions need to be made. So, Brandon and I decide to sell our house and move into his parents house and help take care of his mom. We are there from beginning to end and my children saw and experienced loss in the most closest form possible. Jan. 27th 2012 Janice went home!

 

Present year 2014

This is the year for healing right?! So, we think, two days into the year and guess what? CANCER!! Bill and Janice's beloved boxer is diagnosed with Lymphoma and there's nothing that will heal him completely, so Muggly the Boxer is reunited with his momma Jan. 2nd 2014. While he is a pet he is still a member of the family and his loss was still sorrowful.

 

Today January 6th 2014

I sit and type out my cup and how at times (most times) it feels too heavy to lift. But, I'm determined this year to live life to its fullest and count my blessings and find healing along the way,

 

Won't you join me.....

 

God is still God and He is Good!
