..so I took a lot of pictures this weekend so that I could blog about it today but guess what? Didn't happen! I ended up wanting to go for an oil change at wal-mart only to regret the trip because I was the 9th person in line (and it was only 9:00 am) and the wait was going to be 2-3 hours. NO THANKS! So I picked up some essentials, perused the art supply section and I ended up finding the floral wire and tape that I'd been looking for. The rest of the day I spent fixing my wedding post and watching the 5th disc of the Desperate Housewives Season.. whatever. During that I figured I should do something productive so I sampled yet another DIY wedding project.. LOVE IT! Then my day when on with: picking up July from school, cooking supper, dropped her off to catechism, made a stop at superstore, picked her up and met up with MOH and her hubby. Just finished making tomorrow's lunches and now it's off to bed to read.

One cold evening, I was sitting in the car filled with worry and despair: how am I ever going to do this? I'm too young for this? Will I be a good mother? How will I provide for my baby? Questions spinning in my mind and as I stared out into the darkness of the snow covered world.
"Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said,"Lauryn, baby use your head"
But instead I chose to use my heart
Now the joy of my world is in Zion"
Like a ray of sun through the storm, Lauryn Hill's words broke through my sadness and tears began to fall down my face. Looking out and up through the windshield, fluffy white snowflakes began to fall as the song continued to sooth my spirits and lighten my heart. With a smile, I touched my belly and spoke to my baby, "We'll be alright - mommy loves you so much. We'll be alright."
That was the epiphany that made the struggle worth it. At that very moment, I knew that nothing in this world will ever be strong enough to over throw my will.
July turns 10 today and every year on this day, I replay that epiphany is if it were yesterday. My life is better and brighter because of her - she changed my life.

Fluffy, white snow flakes are covering Winnipeg on the day the Olympic torch is passing through the city. It's so pretty! This weather reminds me of when July was just a toddler: with her in my arms, she'd look up to the sky, smile and then giggle when the cold little flakes would tickle her face. Then with a bright, gleaming face, look at me with so much happiness as if to say, "Look mommy, so pretty!". When she was old enough, that's exactly what she'd say :).
