Motherhood

Could being a mother ever be more grand? I spend my days with my delightful son and can't imagine it any other way. I hear him wake up in the morning and see his happy smiles when I get him up. I snuggle him close in his rocking chair and feed him breakfast. I change him out of his pjs and put on a fresh diaper. We play and giggle and toss balls to one another. Our day takes off...full of adventures games and mountains to be climbed.

It truly is completely and utterly indescribable. Being a mom is the greatest gift in the world. It cannot be fully appreciated or understood until it happens to you. My darling boy is 16 months old and grows stronger and more handsome each day. He is such a joy and a blessing.

A favorite thing of mine about being a mom, is watching my husband with my son. Sweetness. He loves that boy so much and is such a good good daddy. Micah's face lights up when he sees him. He squeals and laughs and grabs for him. I know if he could get to him he crawl right over and tackle him. It is a precious relationship that I feel so priviledged to witness.

Many people have aspirations of what they want to be when they grow up. My dreams were to be a neonatologist...a nurse...a missionary and a teacher. But my very first dream...was to be a mom. Gods most precious gift. Sometimes I just sit and think, He gave me him! This little baby boy to treasure and keep safe and teach him about my Savior. Thank you God for entrusting this precious gift to me. I know that he is not mine. He is Gods.
