I think one of the things I'm learning is to enjoy this phase of life. My kids are growing up quickly and won't need me as much. I used to long for the day they would have more independence but now, as they are getting older and I can see glimpses of this, it makes me sad. It is causing me to re-prioritize and put them before some of the other things I thought were important.
I think God's been trying to show me just how great his love is for me. I had a mental picture the other day of something fatal happening to Jaxon and I literally couldn't breath. I was so upset by the mental picture, I cried. Through it though, God showed me how incredibly hard it was for him to give up Jesus but he loves me that much that he was able to do it. I still can't fully grasp this but he has been showing me more and more, his great love.
I feel like God has been teaching me to enjoy each and every moment. I have been extremely blessed to be able to stay home with my kids and that time will be over before I know it. He has been showing me all the blessings that are in taking the time to be goofy with my kids, dance and be a nut. No one will remember that it took us until 10:30 or 11 to all get dressed and ready this morning, the dishes aren't done yet or the huge mess we have in the dining room right now, but hopefully we will all remember the time we read stories and sang songs inside the fort and tunnel system that we built under the dining room table. A few weeks ago I would have been concerned with the mess that we were making, but we had a blast and in 5 years they probably won't want to build a fort with their mom.
God is also reminding me with the patience, gentleness and grace that he shows me that I should show the same to my children in parenting. I think of the gentle way that He guides me and I want to do the same for my children.
