Haven’t been much of a blogger lately.
But I'm feelin’ the love right now.
My heart is full.
My home is happy.
So I thought I’d hop on & share my feelings e-style for a sec.
Mother’s day was rockin’.
Breakfast ala Myron Dunn, churchy-ness & sleeping in til 10=true love.
It was a fabulous 24 hours & I had a lot of spare time to reflect on the things that are most important.
Truth be told: 2008 thus far has kinda been a trip for our family o’ three.
We’re experiencing a lot of change career-wise, and as a result, times have been interesting & a little busier than we’d prefer.
The past few months have been all about tag-teamin’, supporting one another, and livin’on a prayer.
There are lots of irons in the fire, & very little time for extracurricular randomness. {such as blogging, sleeping, breathing, etc...}
These days have been trying on body & spirit.
But even & especially during these moments of uncertainty, I continually feel & see the hand of the Lord in my life.
I am learning valuable lessons of humility & reliance on my Heavenly Father & his timing.
I am growing an even deeper appreciation for my sweet husband & his profound devotion to his family.
I am recognizing small & simple tender mercies on a daily basis.
When I am feeling exhausted or inadequate, I will turn to my favorite talk from conference this year: Daughters of God. I find great comfort & perspective in Elder Ballard’s words.
“There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. Many are able to be “full-time moms,” at least during the most formative years of their children’s lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else.”
I am so grateful to be a wife & mother.
I consider Myron & Chloe my very choicest blessings.
They are the one & only reason I cut cardstock & count buttons until 4-freaking-thirty in the morning.
It is my life’s mission to rally around & support them all the days of my life.
My heart is full.
My home is happy.
And that is all that matters tonight.
