I am blessed beyond belief. Today is Mother’s Day. I know it is just a day, but it is SO much more than a day to me. It is a day where I reflect on all that God has given me. I know that it doesn’t take a “holiday” to be able to do this, but this week I have been so yearning for Mother’s Day this year. I don’t know if it is the mood (or the hormones) that I’m in due to the pregnancy, but I have been reflecting on my life a LOT lately. I look into both of my sweet baby’s eyes and just want to cry. I love them so much my heart aches. I think about the areas that I feel I have “failed” them and they don’t even know. In their eyes I am perfect…most days. 🙂 I get a glimpse of the love our Father in heaven has for us – only His is SO much more. Incomprehensible to me at times. All the mistakes I make, he still loves me. And no matter what my children do, I will unconditionally love them through it all. Ohhh… My heart overflows!
Not only is today Mother’s Day, but it is our sweet Adalynn’s 2nd birthday. Oh how my life changed 2 years ago today. I can’t imagine my life without this sweet, innocent and rebellious little blessing. I love everything about her. It’s amazing how different two children can be who come from exactly the same DNA combination. Adalynn is spunky, defiant, loving, nurturing, sweet, innocent, ANTAGONISTIC. Those are a few of the words I would use to describe her right now as I am writing.
Mike says she is more and more like me every day in the stubborn department. You never want your little ones to take on the character traits that you think are flaws in yourself, but man she is sporting that character trait WELL! 🙂
I love this little stinker SO much! I just look at her and tears well up in my eyes.
I love you sweet Adalynn! May God bless you with many, many, many more birthdays. I pray you are a shining light is this world my sweet thing!
