Back to Life
The past few months have gone by in a blur. I have had quite a few moments of uncertainty {my tutoring business, making myself available to others & recovering financially}, and frustration {a dog that runs away often and neighbors who are critical of this flaw}. During the times when I feel lost and unsure, I am more than likely missing out on the awesomeness of motherhood. This is an area that is under construction, and I know with God's grace that it will get better. Last week, I made a choice to stop dwelling on any and everything that was pulling me away from those things that bring me peace, and to start back enjoying the life {even the parts of it that are not so great} God has bestowed me. This reflection happened while the girls and I were out bowling. I had not realized until that moment how much I had been missing out. Simple things like their laughter and smiles and watching them try really hard to get something done. I am so thankful for the revelation...I really would not like to be in such a fog that I am missing out on life forever.

What a tremendous blessing you are for your girls that you are so intentional about becoming the woman and mom you want to be for them! It is already so apparent in them, even at this young age that they have parents who truly invest in who they are and will become. I truly admire you and am inspired by you :) God's blessings!
Thank you for the positive words! Thank you for stopping by and feel free to come again :)
This is such a dear sweet topic for me....something i have to continually remind myself. Being a mother,wife and homemaker sometimes means we carry so many things that God wants us to hand over to him. Pray for me as i pray for you; that God will continue this journey of unfolding His love and grace....
Thanks for taking the time to add me to your prayers, and I surely will do the same.
