As Mother's Day approaches, I can't help but think how blessed I am as a Mother! Here you see my two little boys. Aren't they adorable?!?!
The Lord has truly blessed me with these two precious little boys. They are absolutely my pride and joy. Being a Mother is simply the best feeling in the world. I can't imagine women who go through life, and don't want kids. That is just not natural.
All I ever wanted in life was to be a wife, and a Mother. I am living my dream life right now (hence my blog's headline), and I never take that for granted. I realize daily that the Lord has blessed me with my children and He trusted Chris and I to take care of these two precious people. I have to do my best daily to take care of them. Yes, motherhood isn't always easy. You are going to face hard times, and you will have sleepless nights, and they are going to be sick, but the BLESSING is worth the sacrifice.
I've had my ups and downs in my 8 years of being a Mom, and I know that I will continue to have them. I've learned a lot throughout the years as well. I know that each kid is different, and no matter how much you want them to be the same, or how much you expect them to be the same, they are differen't. That is how they were made, we just have to accept that. You will face different challenges with each one as well. In the end though, really all that matters is that you raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Raise them to love, respect, honor, fear, and marvel in the Lord.
If nothing else I want for my children, I want them to know that God loves them, and so do I. Yes, they are going to make mistakes, we all do. I want them to know that God is there for them 100% and I will always be there for them 100%. Being a Mother is a lifetime thing, you don't stop being a Mom when your child reaches 18. There is no cut off age for being a parent.
So I've realized that I LOVE being a Mom, and I am going to continue to raise my boys (and any other children that the Lord blesses me with), to fear, love, marvel, respect, etc., the Lord, and others. My children are my pride and joy, and I hope that all you other Mother's who are out there love your children just the same. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all my friends who are Mom's!! Children are a heritage of the Lord, NEVER forget that!
I was talking to my husband last night, and I asked him this question: What is it that makes people decide that they want to be together for the rest of their lives? What triggers in your mind that says "this is it, this is the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with."
I realize that the Lord will tell you This is the one for you, but really when you stop to think about it, it's odd to me how people just end up together. And most of the time, couples are so opposite, it's unreal. Chris and I are very opposite, but yet the love we have is AMAZING!!
I guess that I am just in awe of how people end up together. How it is that a man decides this is the woman for me, and this is the one that I want to marry. It's just interesting to me how people end up together, and end up married. What an amazing thing the Lord created when He created man and woman to fall in love. When your marriage is done right, what an AWESOME thing it is to spend the rest of your life with this person. What a blessing being married is. Just something I was pondering....
So I realize that it has been forever since I've last posted. I used to blog all the time, and now it seems as though I just let it slip by. Sorry to all of those who actually read this. I will try my hardest to keep up on this, but don't I say that every time I'm on here? I really will try this time.
Things are going well here actually. We have been very busy too, but who isn't now a days? It really does seems as though if it's not one thing it's another though. We are trying to do fund raising for our teens to go to camp. We go to camp in July, so it's right around the corner. I know that the Lord will provide us with the proper funds that we need, so I leave it in His hands.
Chris has been out of town a lot, or so it seems. He was just gone last week, and I missed him so much. I hate when he is gone, it literally feels like a piece of me is missing when he isn't here. He just means so much to me, so I don't like when he isn't here with me. He is such a good Daddy to our boys too, so I hate that he can't be here for them either. We realize though that there are times when he just simply can't be here with us. We can't be selfish, we have to allow him to do his job, that is what the Lord has for him to do, so that is how it is.
Things at Church are going really well. I praise the Lord all the time for leading us to where we are now. The Lord knew that we needed to be there, and once we figured out His will for our lives, things fell into place. We are truly blessed to be under a wonderful Pastor who is willing to teach, love, and disciple us. We sure had to go through a major battle to get where we are at now, but the mountaintop is amazing right now!
Well I will try to keep this updated a little better, I really will. I will try to not allow two months to go by without posting. Love to all!!
