I’m really struggling right now with a decision that I will share once I’ve really decided, but the gist is that I’m having a hard time feeling that my calling as a stay-at-home mom is worthy enough. Oh, I know it is, but when you’re disciplining for temper tantrums 20 times a day and seeing no fruit yet, it seems pretty unglamorous. But God knows where I’m at, and He really blessed me today at the playground. Tommy was running up and down ramps and turning the steering wheel and laughing, and suddenly I had this rush of joy–“This cute little dude is MINE, and I get to take him home and give him a bath tonight and tuck him in and see him again in the morning!” And then we got home and he wanted to brush his teeth at 11 in the morning, which was fine with me, and he was really sweet and cuddly before his nap. Thanks, Lord, for reminding me how much I love my son.
This Dude is Mine…

Thanks for sharing that! I feel the same way many days…but then, they do something that warms you from the inside out and you can’t imagine things any other way! I hope you are feeling great and we can’t wait to visit in December!
