Tomorrow is mommy day. I am remembering how at one point in our lives Billy and I weren't really sure if we were going to be parents. I struggled with some issues and we knew we just had to turn it over to God. We are studying the purpose driven life at church. We are in a small group on Friday nights and I am learning so much. In the book this past week Rick Warren shares with us about how God wants us to be his best friend. He wants all of us. Rick says "One thing is for sure you do not bring Glory to God by trying to be someone he never intended you to be. God wants you to be yourself." He is referring to worship and our daily lives. I know this is true for motherhood. When we prayed for a baby God knew all along I would be Tanner and Holden's mommy. It is such a special time with them. Days are tough sometimes but they are joyous too. God's plan was so much better than MY plan. I messed things up for a long time and now I honestly seek after him. I love that my Saviour cares about every detail of my life. Even the poopy diapers and dirty laundry. These boys make me laugh and smile daily. Tanner made me a few mothers day gifts and one I put in my kitchen window. It says he loves me because "I clean the kitchen." Well nice to know I am appreciated. He also answered questions about me and his responses were so cute. He pretty much got them all correct too. He sure is interested about Billy and I these days. It's so sweet. God knows as mothers we all get tired and worn down. He gives us hope in his word though. How fitting that today's reading was Hebrews13:5 "For God has said, 'I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.' " These days I talk to him constantly. I am so grateful for that. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in my life. I love you all!! Happy mother's day to my mom and mother-in-law!!
