Life keeps happening

  I found Ava standing in her crib the other morning.  I wish I could be more poetic and profound with my words and thoughts, but I am a left-brain type of girl.  So let me just cut to the chase.  Where does the time go?  These kids are growing up too fast.  Make it stop!

 

  I have been thinking lately about how I am a mother to 4 of these precious babies and I don't know what the heck I am doing!  Keeping them well-fed, well-slept, clean, and as healthy as I can, not a problem.  (Not that I never complain.  Have you ever seen this?  Very funny.)  However, the emotional needs and the spiritual maturity that I want to happen for them, stop right there.  I need serious help because I really don't know what I'm doing in those departments.  As I have been wrestling with the thoughts of not connecting with them enough or not teaching them life's virtues, I am finding myself on my knees.  I have also been finding myself in a debt of gratitude to those who have encouraged me, inspired me, and prayed for me in my journey of motherhood.  If you are one of those, I thank God for you.
