Children... A blessing?
I am in a season where this is harder to believe I admit. But what God says it's true. I'll try to post some quick reflections and context in later posts.

Update so far...
There's too much to say in one post.
Hubby kindly took the girls out to the library so I have time to blog a bit.
I am a mother of 2 now. My second daughter, Claire is 3 months today (1 year old from conception!)
Whoa.
Time really flew.
Some ask or assume if things will be easier with the second once you have the first.
I would say no, because the context has completely changed and the challenges are different.
This time around I feel a lot more humbled... I can't possibly do this all by myself!
The birth experience reminded me of how humbling childbirth is...
It went well, I can explain later in person or maybe in a later post if there is time.
But in short it is really humbling after giving birth, having to have someone help you change your own diapers and help you pull your pants up after going to the bathroom.
What was I thinking last time? I felt like I was survivor, and that I accomplished something really great. That this is all so empowering.
Yes it's true, I survived it all again (praise the Lord) and it was a great accomplishment.
I can't take credit. I really can't. I had so much help. The Lord was so gracious and I was in His sovereign care through the entire process.
All I can say is that going through this all over again was just really humbling this time around.
Humbling in terms of recognizing my limits and my need to be dependent on the Lord and the help of those He graciously surrounds me with. I need to grow in thankfulness and fix my eyes on how God can be glorified through each circumstance.
There's too much to say in one post.
Things I would like to write about more in the future...
- Changes this past year- church, moving
- Lessons in grieving
- Birth experience # 2
- Home making lessons
- Health
- Parenting decisions, struggles
- Learning more about home school
- Culture
- Goals, plans, dreams...
