Each time I look at these pictures I'm having a hard time believing those are my gifts, growing so fast, learning well, keeping us on our knees, fun and oh so demanding.
I find myself in an attitude of prayer, petitioning the Lord to give us wisdom and keen ears so we take each opportunity to direct their hearts to Jesus.
Last week, I had a real heart check as I found myself a bit embarrassed over one of them needing to be corrected at church. Quickly, the Lord spoke and reminded me to be more concerned about directing their hearts to Him and not worrying about what people think.
Everyday is a new day to begin again, a new opportunity to show grace and have those open Mommy arms!
Our school year is going well. Hope is reading like a champ and LOVES IT! Most days you'll find her with a book in hand and by her side in the car. Her true love right now is art and writing. I cant tell you how sweet it is to find little notes around the house and hidden in my purse just when I need them. Both girls are swimming this year, how neat that they both shared a lane with me yesterday and swam back stroke and free style with me for a total of 12 laps (so proud).
Emmi is enjoying preschool, her favorite part is recess. Help me Lord!!! But her personality is full speed, loves to race, play and make others laugh. The things that come from her little head keep us laughing. Emmi is soooo good at making friends, she is literally recharged by being with friends. Our true extrovert that does not meet a stranger. I say she's my child that makes me talk to people that I dont want to talk to, bless her heart! God is using her sweet Spirit to touch loves, including mine.I never want to be the me before her!
Much love to all of our sweet birth families, friends and those I know are praying us through this great adventure of Parenting. It is a JOY!
"If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6
