motherhood

10/20/2008

motherhood is one of the greatest gifts God could give women. some choose not to believe this and others embrace the challenge. some women are forced to not be mothers by other demands of life, as i once was at a time in my life. i know what it's like juggling work, kids, home & your marriage. sad to say for me it was about in that order, not the right order. you can only do it that way so long before things start to fall apart. there comes a time in your life when you have to decide what is most important. for us it was saving our marriage & our kids - family. going from a part time mom & having a full time job to just being a mom was a journey. i say part time mom because you cant be a full time mom and have a full time job at the same time - it's impossible. i was tired of other people taking care of my kids. i didn't adjust to full time mom very easy at first. after a month or so it just took. now it's a joy to take care of my kids. watching them grow and learn. there may be hard moments but it's nothing compared to the love and joy i have the rest of the day.

Lacey, I love your blogshot. I love your thoughts, your words and your love for God, Josh and your babies. It is so true... being a mom is awesome. Watching each day as they grow and develop into the persons that God created them to be. To have the Godly influence on them, pray for them and see them blossom and not to miss a minute of each day. God is so faithful and so good. He always leads us in the way we should go. We can't go wrong with Jesus. Now I can look back over many years and see the hand of God. Even when I struggled to know what to do, He was always there. But now to see each of my children blessed and to love Jesus and serve Him. WOW!! Life is good!! I love you! Joy
