I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mommy! I know to date it is the greatest thing that I have been put on this earth to do and it feels that right to me! I feel like everything is aligned with my destiny right now and like I have a very important task that has been given to my by God.
I have two beautiful baby boys: Toby, who is four and Tyce who is 7 months. It's not just being a mother to them and taking care of their physical and emotional needs that is so important, but rather God has called me to raise these two boys to grow up loving Him and to count for His kingdom and that is something that I take very seriously and am so honored to be able to do! These years are the best of my life so far, but they are also by far the hardest. When you become a mommy, it is no longer about you in any way. There is no room for selfishness when you're a mommy. I'm amazed at how God is using this season of my life to draw me closer to Him and to stretch me in ways I didn't even think possible! I'm excited, I'm filled with awe, I'm a little bit frightened, and I am of course... TIRED! LOL! It all comes with the title. Most of all, I am overjoyed and SO SO SO blessed that God has entrusted me with these two boys.
It says in the bible that children are a gift of God and they truly, truly are. This season of my life is a very emotional one for me and I know it will go by in a blink so I wanted to journal about it: my joys, my fears, my love, my life as a mommy- I always want to remember. Then maybe someday when I'm a grandmother (Lord willing) my experiences and trials as a mother will be able to help out my own daughter-in-laws and even sons when they start the parenting season of their lives.
So with this new year (2012) that has just begun, I am also going to start journaling the mommy years which I cherish with all my heart!
