#2 This isn’t a favorite because it was always fun or cute, but because it was necessary! Something I have grown to love about this year is learning more about myself. Having a baby has put a spotlight on some areas of my life that I would have rather remained hidden: being selfish (with things like my time…), being judgmental (thinking I would never raise my child like someone else…), being prideful (thinking I could be in control of any and all situations…) and I’m sure the list goes on! I am thankful for the way the Lord has revealed these areas to me, and couldn’t think of a better way then through a sweet child! I am thankful that, “He who has begun a good work in me will bring it to completion…” (Phil. 1:6)
Before having Asher I would have told you that I was completely dependent on the Lord, but having a child is a whole new kind of dependence! Turning Asher over to the Lord has to almost be a daily thing for me as I trust that He loves him more than we do, and can provide and take care of him infinitely better than we can.
I’m off to enjoy my first OFFICIAL Mother’s Day since Asher was born 13 hours after Mother’s Day last year. :) Chris has some special things planned and I’m so excited to enjoy today with the two guys in my life. Check back tomorrow for #1!
Happy Mother’s Day to all my sweet mama friends, my sisters and sister-in-law, to my mother-in-law and my own MOM!! I love you all and hope you have a wonderfully relaxing day! :)
