Confessions of a thankful bride....

Day 7:

I am beyond thankful that the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to be a stay at home ball of awesome!! Trophy Wife and Supermom extraordinaire!

Baha if you know me at all you know how far from the truth that is (in fact i am such an awesome mom that I have more than once just today had to pluck out dead lady bugs from my little's mouth.....yep cant say that wins me any mom of the year awards lol) .

But on a serious note: I love hanging out with my "arrow" all day long! I want so desperately to have my actions lead him to the cross. I know that he does not understand just yet but one day he will and I pray fervently that when he looks back he will not see me but would see the cross of Christ.

Each day the way I respond when I am frustrated, tired, or just plain over whelmed is a big deal, maybe not to him but it should be to me. Am I choosing to respond to him the way Christ responds to me? When he is begging at my feet, or pulling on my clothes, or demanding my attention do I lovingly stop what I am doing and give him my undivided attention every time or do I respond in impatience?
I must admit I don't win that battle as often as I would like but what a wonderful perspective! Our Heavenly Father never ever turns away from us, His children. We as sons and daughters of the King always without fail have His undivided attention, oh what a glorious day it will be when we would desire more and more of it.

Isaiah has such a sweet spirit and it still completely overwhelms me the fact the Lord has chosen us to guide him and train him.  I am so blessed and thankful the Lord has answered this desire of my heart and allows me to spend my days with him.

I am thankful that I am able to be at home when Grant comes in from a long day at work. That I no longer have to work 60 hours a week at 2 different jobs while he sits at home alone writing papers or studying. I am thankful that I can now be the sounding board for him when has had a stressful day rather than it being the other way around.
I love being home for my boys and I understand that for so many out there being a stay at home wife and mom isn't a possibility so I truly am overly thankful to be blessed with this opportunity.

UGH!! This picture melts my heart! See what I mean about being overly blessed?! When your boys are as fantastic as mine it's hard to ever stop gushing about them lol. Thank You Daddy for allowing me to be a part of this incredible journey :)
