these are the days
I was off work today and even though I have so much to do, I still find moments to share with Caleb and Audrey. These moments are the ones that I want to just sit there and cherish. Testing me as he(Caleb) may be and wanting to see what I will do, he still is my pride and joy. Everytime he got into something he knew he was not to be in, he would look at me and say...."Mommy, I'm sorry and I love you." UGH! But then I had to remind him about what is right and still punish him. Then coming back with I love you too. I cannot count how many times today he told me he would listen and be good. The constant "WHY?", the "I will help" only to make things worse, then to have him fall asleep and me just sitting there looking at him. AMAZING. Then my little miss, she loves to talk and be talked to (like her mom), but boy oh boy, when things are not her way she has her moments of hissy fits. Then she too falls asleep in my arms and again I sit and look, GLORIOUS. so needless to say I have not gotten much accomplished today. But in these still small moments I have a glimpse of Jesus, the miracle of a child. My children, my blessings, my heritage. Caleb I love you dearly for being who you are and who you will be. I know that God has his hand on you and my prayer is that you will always allow his hand to guide you. Be happy, be sure of yourself, be content, be faithful and most of all be Godly. Audrey, I love you more than I can express, I love you for what you are. I cannot describe in the few short months you have been here how you have blessed me. God has great plans for you, let him fulfill those plans. Thank you Father, for my blessings. You have given me great joy. Like Hannah in the bible I prayed for them and you answered my prayers. thank you from the bottom of my heart. Help me to be the mom that I am to be, and the Godly wisdom here on earth that will guide them as they grow. AMEN!

That is a wonderful entry. I am specifically praying that God will allow me to see those treasure nuggets in every day. I am having such a hard time not concentrating on the "bad" things like diaper blow outs, disobedience, sleep deprivation, bed wetting....did I mention disobedience?! :P
I live for those moments. They are my life. When Sami crawls up on my lap and kisses me. Or when she just smiles her beautiful smile. Even when she is bad, which she isn't often, I love her. She is mine. She is Gods. She is love.
Monica I know what you mean on seeing the "bad things", I too often see that. But then God reminds me that I am like a child and I do "bad things" adn while he see that he still loves and forgives. You love your children so much and while you see the bad you also take time to acknowledge the great things that they do. I have seen what a awesome mom you are and what a great job you are doing with them. Lok at how smart they are, look at how talented and how they have grown. You are a SUPER MOM!
Sandi, you too are such a great mom. Sami knows that YOU are her mommy and she looks to you for everything. Do not ever for get that.
Disobedience in our children are just Gods way of humbling us to make us realize we are guilty of the same thing. What a lesson we at this age still have to learn.
Love ya
