Adalynn, My Thoughts

One of those days…

3 Comments

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel like you can’t do enough or have enough time with your kids?

I remember doing all these learning activities with Lili when it was…just Lili.  I think about if I am affecting Adalynn because all the time that I spent one on one with Lili hasn’t happened NEAR as much with Adalynn.

I know that she is LOVED SO much and is prayed for constantly. I wake her up every night and just hold her…and rock her…and pray with her.  I guess I just can’t help but doubt my parenting.  I doubt I am alone on this, I’m sure so many other parents who have more than one can relate.

I’ll be honest, it does make me think how I will do it with three kids, but God will give me the strength and direction.  That I know for sure.I am very thankful for our decision to send Lili to school for this reason as well.  Adalynn and I do get our one on one time while Lili is at school, I just hope it is enough.

I will just do my best and my best will have to be good enough.  God sees what I am trying to do and where I lack and I just ask that he shows me more areas where I can grow and change to be the BEST Mom and Wife I can be.

Just trying to be transparent 🙂

  1. OMGosh I feel that way and I only have 1 with 1 on the way! Shannon you are SUPER MOM for sure 🙂 I learn so much from you…look at that smile on Adalynn's sweet little face – you are doing everything right 🙂 No worries – I have learned God gives us the GRACE to do what He has given us to do 🙂 And YOU can only be YOU – the Mom He made YOU to be – not any other Mom could mother those girls like you because He gave only YOU the grace to do it!

  2. I just have to say that I have and sometimes still fight this battle. But I also realize that each child has their own personality and with that comes different affection needs. Which I try to supply when I see that need is needing to be me…t (every minute battle to see and meet every need of course:o). I'm not a perfect parent by any means…BUT I do try to be and by just having the thoughts of noticing your child and giving them their hug, kiss, reading, praying, cuddling, etiquette, teaching, discipline etc..you are the mom that God wants you to be. He isn't expecting perfection just growth!
