Have you ever had that burning desire to want something so badly? It’s constantly on your mind, you can’t get to bed without thinking about it, you know deep down you’d be so stinkin happy if it was yours??
My littlest heart’s desire…………….KIDS!!!!!!!I can’t wait to have them!!!!!
I am in NO way pregnant right now, but I have such a desire inside to start a family!! I guess God has been stirring up a lot inside of me lately and it’s something that I’m, OOOH SOOO, looking forward to in my next chapter! If you would have asked me one year ago today if I wanted kids, I would have said “nope, no way, definitely not for a few years.” But like I always say, “there is a season for everything.” In all honesty, I’m ready now, HOWEVER, I have signed up for quite a few races this year (which aren’t cheap), the cost adds up quite fast when you factor in hotel and travel arrangements! Sooo no little kiddies this year, but God gives us the desires of our hearts!! So when it’s time, it’s time!
| Naming rights. First, middle, and last! Glimpses of God every day Giggles under the covers every night. More love than your heart can hold. Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies. A hand to hold, usually covered with jam. A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, building sandcastles, and skipping down the sidewalk in the pouring rain. Changing stinky diapers around the clock, oh boy! Someone to laugh yourself silly with. Daily devotion time with God (my favorite!) You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs, and never stop believing in Santa Claus. You have an excuse to keep: reading fairytales, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.  You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day. You get to be a hero just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off the bike, removing a splinter, filling a wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a soccer team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless. You get a front row seat to history to witness the first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel.  You get to be immortal. You get the opportunity to learn swim, bike and run all over again. You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match. In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so that one day they will, love unconditionally too! | ||
I get to change a life!! Woo!!!! J
Sooo who knows, maybe next year at this time, I may have started to fulfill my littlest heart’s desire.
Thank you for enlightening millions of women, young to aged, who have never had a healthy 'mommy mentor', who have adored all their children, who are wondering what it's like to 'have the mother's urge' -- to read your journaling ... and discover God's healthy, fulfilling, wholesome, encouraging, love-based perspective of the role of 'Mother'. For those who've had a perfect life, to those who have had a tough childhood, a rough marriage, a rugged (custody embattled) divorce - this is for us - to help our souls, our sentimental side, one illuminate a part of our hormonal ebb and flow. We gain from you something of the hopes of our past, healing from stressing about our parenting future, realizing the value of our parental legacy. God's perspective about his newborn creation and our life-investment as parents. Love heals, love cares, love bears all things. An old saying: babies...so new, they still have the smell of Heaven on them. Thank you for your blog.
