It is soooo true that time flies, life is a vapor, you blink and these children that you once nursed, lost sleep, cuddled so tightly, cleaned poopy diapers, and heard temper tantrums .... they are now growing up.. maturing! I am enjoying having my "older children" yes it has brought so many changes, hard lessons, and lots of prayers.
When we went camping we took our older ones
(the foster baby stayed with someone else) it was so nice to have everyone self sufficient... they could go ride their scooters, go to bath house, go ahead of us to the beach, and fix them selves snacks! I enjoyed that! I needed that rest!
I am enjoying them growing up.. I want to cry ball my eyes out thinking about them leaving home BUT there is still time for me to love on them and listen to them before that time comes! I love the fact that they are enjoying being older too!
Thank you Lord that you allow me to love YOUR children, to raise them, to guide and direct them by your word... you are so good to us as their parents that you allow us to pour into them!
seriously... I wonder if I REALLY do have an issue with my love for coffee?? mmmm.. what do you think?? well don't answer that question!!! I have to admit that the Lord has revealed through MANY people that my love for coffee is real, it is true, it is a crazy love for sure. so the question is .. Could I go without coffee? I think yes.. BUT I just don't want to (imagine a 2 year old throwing himself on the floor screaming) yep, it is real folks.. I love it.. even as I was writing this blog my friend Gina posted on my timeline a picture of a chicken that says " I could get through the day without coffee BUT you don't want me too" OH how this is SOOOO true!!!.. so I love coffee! that's it!! now we may go back to our day :)
