Many people have doubts about my overwhelming sense of calmness in taking care of two children but I find that God gives me the strength and determination to do anything as long as we acknowledge that with him in our life...all things are possible.
I have been deeply invested in my first Beth Moore bible study for about a month now and let me tell you... my heart has never been touched this much!!! It is as if my entire outlook on life has changed or has evolved into something that yearns to glorify God and not the Babylonian culture that we are all surrounded by. It is amazing how much your life can change by studying God's word! I feel compelled to be a better mom through my faith. I am compassionate about being the kind wife and caregiver that not only provides for my husband and children, but that gives praise to the Most High! I feel that through my deeper connection with the bible, I have found a strength that only God could give me. A type of courage and determination to "step up" and believe that even if I fall (which I will) my convictions assure me that my Lord will be there to help dust me off and make me stronger. I finally realize that in the midst of all the trials and tribulations that I endure, God is building me stronger. We belong to him...We are his children...We are the light...We are HIS! It is in these truths that I find the courage and strength to just be me! After all, he made me and molded me for his plan, not mine! And for once in my entire life, I can finally see the beauty in God being in control!
Therefore, this brings me back to the fact that I know my life is fixing to be chaotic and overwhelming at times. I know that I am going to have days when I just want to cry and scream. But I also know that these days go by too fast and that each moment spent with my family is a blessing regardless of the situation at hand! God has given me the greatest gift I can ever imagine. I have the promise of His Word, the love and commitment of a wonderful God-fearing husband, and the most precious daughter. My blessings will soon be added to once Grady is here and at that this exact moment in time I cannot imagine a greater gift from above.
Until next time...think of your blessings more than of your trials!!! Hug your kids and tell them how much you love them. Spend time with your husband and let him know just how much he means to you!
We can't wait to share baby Grady with you all... talk to you soon!!! PEACE, LOVE and the REESE'S!
