30 December 2008
I had one of my moments the other day. It was one of those moments in life that makes me stand back and see things as a whole, not in its parts. Do you ever have those moments?
I was in the driveway raking out the dead leaves from this past season. I could hear Mike in the distance mowing the lawn and watched as the boys played happily on the hammock in the backyard.
It was then that I had my moment. I had this overwhelming feeling of "I can't believe I am doing this!" I am am MOM. I have a HUSBAND. I have a yard of my OWN with leaves to rake and branches to collect. It was one of those surreal moments. This is IT! I am living my adult life!!! Am I making any sense? Do you have these moments? Sometimes I can't believe I have been given trust over these precious boys and I have the responsibility as an adult, a mom, and a wife, a friend, and a mentor in life.
So here I am, in my 30's--all grown up. I love it! It is so much more than I ever expected. What is also great is that I haven't arrived. I continue to pursue dreams and live for the future yet embracing and loving each moment of the present.
Thank you God for this blessed life I get to live each day. May I live it to the fullest potential and for Your glory always!
