Sometimes life seems so crazy and a little out of control and then....whoosh. Something just settles. I feel like that's how it's been for me and now....I am feeling more settled and at peace and content than I have in a long while.
I have a husband who loves me and loves our boys and shows it in a million different ways. I have two amazing children, literal miracles from God - both having stories that, in reflecting each and every time, brings me to total thanks and praise.
I have the most wonderful job in the world and the greatest blessing of being able to stay at home and care for these three amazing gifts. I don't know why God (or I am still not sure it wasn't actually my impatience) sent me to graduate school. But, what I do know now, is I am right where I am supposed to be...HOME. I have the amazing opportunity to stay at home to love, to teach, to mold... and I don't want to miss it. Sometimes, I know I do and have, but not today. Today I know I am a Mother. And I am very proud of it. And I love the life that God has given me.
Being a mother is a wonderful gift and a blessing. You are both of these Shanna. Enjoy these days as they do quickly pass by.
