The Hardest Job
Being a Mom is hard. Wonderfully, amazingly and exhaustingly hard. Everyday I question what I am doing; wondering if I could have handled one of Lillian's melt downs with a little more understanding, or if I was too quick to discipline her. I feel like I spend some days in constant prayer asking for patience's, guidance and LONG nap times. I am not sure that I will ever be the kind of Mom that I want to be, but I honestly try every day to be a better Mommy than I was the day before. My two babies deserve that...they deserve so much more than that actually. God calls us to give him our hearts greatest desires, and I do that daily. Lillian and Whitten are my deepest treasures, and I daily hand over their lives to Him. It is actually a wonderful sense of comfort and relief to Shaun and I to know that we are not on our own in all of this. That God's hand is just as active in our parenting as anything else in our lives. To even think that I might have to navigate these choppy waters of parenthood on my own makes me queasy. Thank goodness I have a loving, understanding, forgiving, always present God to help me raise these two wonderful children.

I feel the SAME way! It's hard to always know the right thing...especially when it comes to disciplining a two year old. I was seriously praying about it yesterday because I just lost my temper and I was yelling at Colton and I do NOT want him to think that is okay. Let me know if you figure out the key to parenthood...especially when it coems to sitting still at the library during storytime. Although C did do MUCH better yesterday than last week.
You are a GREAT Mommy! Honestly I think your "gift" is being a Mom. But WOW does it take a lot of prayer and patience. I think Lillian and Whitten are two lucky littel ones to have you as their Mommy : )
