The other morning as I was driving home from dropping my boys off at school I started thinking, Is there more to this life than this? Instantly my heart swelled and I felt an overwhelming sense of YES! This IS the life you were made and chosen for. To be the best mother and wife you can be. To be there, present, every morning before school and every day after school. To drop them off and pick them up from school. To travel to away football games. To teach them about our Savior and His sacrifices. To make sure they've got clean laundry. To make sure they have food to eat. To involve them in cooking, cleaning and living. To teach them manners. To make mistakes and ask for forgiveness. To be an encourager, to be humbled, to teach them how to love and be loved. THIS is the life and I am so incredibly blessed by every dirty, stinky sock I wash, for every wet towel I find on the floor and for every hug and "I love you mom" I get! I am thankful for my hubby and how hard he works for our family so that I can live this life that I never, ever thought I'd be living but am so very thankful for. I love my little family. Thank you Heavenly Father for making it so very clear to me when I started to doubt this life and my meaning. I was created to be right where I am, right now.
Proverbs 31:27-28 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of the idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
I don't claim to have it all together, but I am grateful for what I am able to give
and strive everyday for it to be my very best.
