Just Because You're a Mom Doesn't Mean You Have to Wear Mom JeansToday I thought I would start by reflecting on how amazing it is being a mommy. I'm sure you were already able to figure out that the Lord has blessed me with two beautiful little boys. Daniel is 3 and Nathan is 2 months. Growing up I always knew that God's plan for my life included being a mommy. I've also always dreamed of having a big family.
I truly believe the kind of love my kids have for me is the same kind of love I need to have for God. I am not perfect, it takes patience, understanding and a lot of laughter to raise kids and my kids love me no matter what. They don't judge my imperfection, they love me for me and that is hard to find now a days. And as I'm sitting here wiping up spit-up and at the same time telling my older son to take the green Play-Doh out of his mouth I feel an unusual amount of "joy."
Lord, thank you for giving my such an amazing family. I am so excited for the responsibility of shaping these two lives. Please guide me as I parent them and teach them how to be responsible young boys. Help me to be patient and understanding and to always show them how much I really love them. Lord, help me to discipline them in a loving, but firm way and shape their character through the teaching of moral values. I pray that I can light a fire in them cultivating a love for Christ and be a role model with my faith. Amen.
I think I will start to write about the daily trials and tribulations of motherhood in my blogs to come. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July, God Bless!!
