My deer

May 23, 2008 by jenwagenmaker Filed Under: Uncategorized 2 Comments

Since I’ve been staying at my parents house, I started trying to build this friendship with the wild life around the woods of their home.

There are about 10-15 different deer out here that we see daily. At first, I would drive by slowly …. And then I decided it would be a good idea if I stop and roll down the window and talk to them. Say things like “its me your momma”. I got to a point in “our friendship” that it was safe to get out of the car and walk towards them.

This week, I bought some carrots. I carry them in my car and throw to them as I walk towards them. I think its working….

Tonight, I am so excited because as it gets dusk, I am taking the boys with me to the woods to see if the deer will let us yet a little closer.

Its an exciting life that I live, I tell ya.

Its a good thing Eric’s working late, he’s not as big on this whole “convincing the deer that I’m their momma” thing…

hmm. weird

what if

March 26, 2008 by jenwagenmaker Filed Under: Uncategorized 6 Comments

This is how I always knew life was supposed to be But for some reason it just could never get there.

I always desired to be thought of and somehow it left me aching. I wanted to enjoy new seasons approaching but as time grew closer, I learned to hold on tight. I knew I was capable of giving so much but I felt how much it cost every time. I continued to dream….
I sit here in a dream tonight. Totally blown away that this is my life. I was sitting at starbucks today looking at a little flyer advertising the Holland Tulip Festival and it made me smile. Only I will understand what it meant to me. I think maybe the “average” girl would go on taking this life that I call a dream for granted. I won’t, I refuse. I am so Blessed. Thank you.

On August 13th, 2007, I was alone at my house (another lonely night without my children) and I began to cry out to God to release the loneliness that I had been experiencing for so long… I BEGGED Him! I wrote down these words:

GOD, I beg you to take this loneliness that I feel, This desire to be wanted and truly loved. I turn to you

I taped that card to my wall filled with so many other verses and words that God had brought to me during my
journey of divorce. And then I sat down and wrote out a list of what I knew I was looking for and needed and placed it in my Bible, trusting in Him.

I fell asleep peacefully that night.

It was the next weekend that Mr. Eric Bruce Wagenmaker and I would cross paths again. He asked me to go get some coffee. Seven months later, and I have still have goosebumps. (#19 on my list).

I’m not the average girl.

I have a reason to SMILE

Special moments

March 12, 2008 by jenwagenmaker Filed Under: Uncategorized 2 Comments

So the boys are playing outside in the treefort with the neighbor boy and all their homemade swords. I’m sure their fine 🙂 I love having boys. They have such big imaginations! They take turns guarding the fort? From who, I’m not sure? Probably pirates? I will have to ask them.

What a long long winter it has been. How much we have all been long anticipating this time of year again…. I’m learning to just embrace special moments. Tonight is one of those nights. The boys are all getting along, the sun is setting, I have my cup of coffee and I’m so thankful today for this life that I have. I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m so blessed!

March

February 27, 2008 by jenwagenmaker Filed Under: Uncategorized 2 Comments

Last night the boys and I spent our first night at my parents.  My dad made a triple bunk bed for the boys in their room and I took over the computer room… I have been dragging my feet at this move for a while, trying to hold onto my independence.  Today I feel FREE…. I needed this.  I can’t do it on my own, I need everything that I know my parents house can give all of us….. Such as:

Morning coffee time with mom..  (while dad starts our cars)
Prayer time together before school for the boys
Their Neighbors
2 more adult minds
Accountability
Encouragement
Unconditional love
Sunrises and Sunsets on the lake
Release from household responsibilities
someone to cook with
Random people to minister to and laugh with
the hammock
walks on the beach
family (siblings)
And so much more.  Thank you God for the peace you have given me today!
