worshiping in the sunshine

As I was cleaning up the kitchen I heard my son shouting in the living room. "I love it...I love it...Thank you God for giving me this beautiful sunshine!" As I entered the room I saw him dancing in a stream of sunshine from our large window. I asked him what he was doing. "I'm thanking God for the sunshine that I love so very much. That's what you are suppose to do when you love something...and then God makes it even more beautiful. See... He made it so beautiful just for me...Look...Look."I stood there...still...knowing that God once again was teaching me through the faith and innocence of my child's words. I could not remember the last time that I was so truly grateful that I let God's love and light fill me up and rejoiced in it...even danced in it. When was the last time that I stopped and worshiped in all the goodness he has surrounded me with in my life? It was then that I lifted my hands high with tears pouring out and began to pray...Thank you God for giving me this beautiful child...I love him...I love him...Thank you for making him so beautiful...just for me...Amen.

They both have an amazing light that shines through them. I love watching God work in their little lives...and then in mine. He has blessed Jonah with an amazing gift of inner wisdom and an incredible amount of sensitivity. I cannot wait to see what he will do with it...and of course I cannot wait to get to hear more of what my sweet little Annah has to add to the conversation;)

Why this.Why Now

I decided to begin this blog as a way for my family and friends to walk along beside me on this long and bumpy road of motherhood. One of my goals in writing this is to share all my steps, trip ups and of course falls, down this road towards becoming the Mother God has created me to be. In doing this I also hope to encourage other weary travelers to find the strength to pick themselves up and to carry on. Motherhood can often feel like a lonely path to take but in knowing that many walked before me with me and will soon walk after me makes this well worn path a little easier to walk upon. I hope that every mother or mother to be will use this as an opportunity to share with me all the knowledge and life lessons you have picked up along your way. My journey has just begun and I have so much yet to learn.
Another goal of mine of course was to give all those who live apart from us a chance to stay updated on Jonah and Annahs own journeys through life. They always seem to be up to something and always seem to have something to say. I can't wait to put it all down to share with all of you.
I hope that for whatever reason you decide to follow that you take away with you even the smallest amount of strength and love to enjoy along your own journey.
