I got up this morning and worked out at 5:15am. I did this so that I would not have to get the kids moving too quickly this morning. I have really been trying these last couple of months to enjoy the season of life that I am in. Everybody tells me that it will fly by or be gone in the blink of an eye. The more I thought about this, the more God convicted me to "stop and smell the roses." I have been incredibly blessed with three healthy girls. Up until a couple months ago I took that for granted. God said very clearly to me that they were only mine for a little while and that He had entrusted them to me. So, I am proud to report that I am enjoying them. Making a point to do special things with them, making time for games, barbies, letting them help me cook, earning money, being "in charge", and just being kids. Each day is a decision to be a little more patient, kind, and willing to clean up a larger mess than if I would have just completed the task. Mothers, enjoy you babies! We only have them for a little while. My mom always made mothering feel effortless and fun. I can only hope and pray that my little ones will see His love through me and feel as special as my mom made me feel.
