Today

Okay, so I haven't been going to church as much as I should lately. I went today cause one of my SIL'S went w/me and I didn't have to be by myself (DH was asleep b/c he worked last night).
With not being able to get pg and my brother dying, I have been a little upset w/God. And its been hard for me to go to church. I feel like I can't catch a break. And well my dad is the pastor so I always hear about it from him, like at family things or when I go to mom & dad's house. I guess he told my mamaw that I was mad at God, b/c she came up to me after lunch today and starts telling me that she "heard" I was mad at God and that I don't need to be mad at Him and that I need Him in my life. She says this at lunch, in a restaurant with family and other church people there. She was kinda talking in my ear, but not as a whisper or anything so I hope no one heard her. She also said, that God has a baby in store for me, and I am going to be blessed with a baby. I love my mamaw and I know she means well, I only hopes she's right. I was just embaressed a bit in front of everyone, and then I started to cry, but I got it under control.

In one of my earlier posts I mentioned something about filling the voids, so here's my theory:

Obviously, my void is not having a baby. I always tell DH that I'm filling the void, when I go shopping or buy stuff. The first time he didn't know what I was talking about, until I explained it to him. Its like this. If i had a baby I wouldn't be able to buy stuff for me as much, but I wouldn't want to either. I would so rather have a baby more than anything else, but until then we continue to buy toys, well, big people toys. For instance, in the almost 6 years we have been married, we have had:
1 motorcycle (sold this after my brother's accident, don't know if I can ride one now)
1 three-wheeler
3 travel trailers
4 boats (just bought the 4th one 2 days ago!!)
and over 2 dozen different cars and trucks, yes I said over 2 dozen. I can't even keep up w/how many any more.

Whenever I find out someone's PG or when AF arrives and I'm all depressed, then I go shopping or at least window shopping to try and fill the void. Though none of this stuff will ever fill it, I guess it makes me feel a little less bad about myself. So that's my theory on filling the voids in life. Is it me, or does anyone else feel this way?

  1. I've always filled voids with shopping too. My shopping is clothes though. If I took a picture of my closet everyone would just be sick, I own entirely way too many clothes/shoes/purses

  2. I think this is really common, I have many friends who engage in retail therapy too! Sadly I am too cheap to go shopping every month... Hmmm I need to find something to fill my voids! I feel you about missing church too though, it's hard, but you'll go back when you're ready, and I don't think God will hold it against you.

    I think we all go through this at some point or another. It was shoes. Now I have my eye on a really nice camera. But I am holding out.

    I think your mamaw meant well. Older people can get like that ;) I work with them all the time!
