Being preggo during a world pandemic

-
Evening everyone,


Some of the reactions I first got, especially when we all went on quarantine, were along the lines of, "oh, I can only imagine being pregnant right now..." 

Now, I don't want to give the wrong impression that it didn't affect me one bit, but also I wanna emphasize the fact that personally, there couldn't be a better time for me to be pregnant. 

I was already 2 months pregnant when everything went down the drain, and being pregnant kept me sane. I couldn't cling to anything but God. I couldn't go out with friends, or shopping, but instead I had plenty of time to rest, eat, nap, walk,  adjust, do research on foods, lifestyle, and tips about this new stage of my life. 

Being locked at home wasn't bad for me, mostly because if anything, I needed some time to myself. I was getting burnt out of the routine I had, and the only things I was looking forward to this year were my international trips. Since those didn't happen, now I had to shift my thinking. What was it that could get me excited instead of traveling, if that's what I loved the most? 

I had enrolled in my online postgrad program and I was pregnant, so those two things would automatically keep my mind occupied. I had a book I've been putting off, I had Netflix shows pending, a nursery I should start envisioning, house cleaning, and so on. 

The hardest part for me just happened today,  as I was watching people from my car window as I waited for some fast food.  I realized the world hasn't realized we ain't getting our world back. 
The masks we now wear, the shops that closed, the businesses that shut down, the gatherings that no longer exist, the entertainment places and even church! This is our world now. Are we the cause? 

What kind of world is my baby going to grow up in, and how can I teach my baby how to live in it? 
What's going to happen with the future of teaching?
Will I ever have students gathered around my desk? 
And...
Did we not appreciate what we once had and now it's too late? 

Being pregnant during Covid-19 is this: My baby never knew what it was like before, therefore, this and many other babies are the light and the future of our new life. They are the ambassadors and new leaders of our tomorrow. 

WE. CAN'T. GO. BACK. 

It's gone, it's over! And I don't know if this makes you sad, enraged, or thrilled about what's ahead.
It's okay to be nervous, no one is comfortable with uncertainty and things up in the air, but we have someone we can trust! HE NEVER FAILS!!!

1. Testimony before the trip -Keysi Cordero Hello everyone!!! On July 16th, 2015 a team and I will be going to Chiang Mai, Thailand to share the Love of Jesus! Here's a little bit of how all of this unfolded and the things the Lord did and still is doing, in order for this trip to happen: This year the Lord put in my heart to start saving money, in my head I was like yeah... I really need to because lately I've been wasting my money unwisely (Movie theater at least once a week, dining out on weekdays etc.) But in reality the Lord had something else in store for me and I didn't understand yet. I started saving money with the idea of going to France in the summer since I was going to start my French program this fall and thought it would be good to come back with more knowledge of the language and culture, yet the doors were totally shut! The french courses weren't available for the Spring or Fall, I was told I might not be able to keep my position at work...

I Could Die In Peace - Original Poem

I Could Die In Peace I could die in peace... I've traveled the world I've experienced true love And I've served the Lord I could certainly die in peace Close my eyes and see His bliss Yet there are many other places to go There are new reasons to love And serve the Lord even better than before I could definitely die in peace Had Jesus not come to take my place I'd be lost & far from grace His abundant love that'll never cease Brings me hope so I fall in awe on my knees KC

My experience at Cyclebar (indoor cycling studio)

A Brief Overview on Fitness   So I've always disliked gyms... I haven't been to a gym since 2014. Not my style, not something I'm into at all! I played soccer my whole life or danced, and this was literally how I stayed fit and healthy for years. When I moved to the city, it was much harder to play outside or ride my bike to school. I've always been conscious of my eating habits, and the fact that I needed to do something in regards to my physical health. I took yoga this summer with my best friend and it was truly a blast! However, I didn't feel like I was sweating enough, or burning enough calories. I was worried about what my future in fitness would look like, especially with my upcoming wedding & getting closer to winter time, which limits you from any outdoor physical activities. How I got plugged in I saw different ads about Cyclebar, and I didn't really consider it till I saw that one of my classmates from high school was an instructor the...
