A Letter From The Womb

Even though you may not witness my life, I still live because of you.

Dear Mommy,

Honestly, I don't even know how long I've been in here. All I know is that each day my room is getting smaller and smaller. Actually, I think I'm going to need to move out soon if that's OK with you. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, especially when you're asleep. It's when I think best, except for the times that Daddy snores. I don't understand how you can sleep through that! It doesn't upset me, but it does make me giggle. I'm not really scared about moving out because I know that everything happens for a purpose, but I'm just in pure astonishment and admiration of you, mommy.

You are willing to sacrifice nine months of your life to allow God to knit me together uniquely and intricately inside your womb. We haven't even looked into each others' eyes yet, but you still are choosing to sacrifice so much physically and emotionally just to simply try to bring me into this world because you desire to share it with me.The number of times that you and daddy tried never scared you. It motivated you. It made this time together that much more meaningful for the two of us. You are so courageous, mommy. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your patience during the times when nothing seemed to be happening. Thank you for your perseverance during the times when things ended up backfiring. Thank you for my life, regardless of how long it may be. It is the only life I have ever known, and I'm eternally grateful for it.

If I never get the chance to tell you this in person, I want you to know that I love you. I'm thankful for your sacrificial heart, your courageous spirit and your loving soul. These times that we've spent together snuggled so close are moments that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I can't wait to meet you, mommy, whether it be here on Earth or one day in Heaven. To simply look at the woman who made the decision to let me live and grow inside her will be a moment that will bring me to my knees, a moment that will release a flood of tears with utmost joy. It will be beautiful and amazing, but until that day, let's just enjoy the however many days, weeks or months that we have left together here in the womb. It's so cozy, and I want to make the most out of every single second I have left in here with you. I can't wait for you to hold me, to kiss me, to play with me. I guarantee that I will be a handful, but hey, you and daddy made me, so what did you expect?

Happy Mother's Day,

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
