Time seems to past by so quickly... each day blending into each other like paint on a canvas. My heart is full this morning. Thoughts going all over the place.
Little babe is growing she is now 13 weeks- she is trying to sit up. She rolls now half way, and boy does she like to babble. Her sweet face melts the hearts of everyone around her.
Noah has adjusted well to the sweet new addition. Every morning he pads into my room to wish her good morning. She looks at him very endearing and smiles so sweetly at him. It is so very sweet to see how much they love each other. I pray as she grows she will see and know how very special she is to all of us.
I read a post over at mandymom.com , she was discussing parenting. She has very young ones and I remember thinking when mine were young how difficult that season was. Now that mine are grown( 21,20,18,16,15) I have come realize that season was the easy part. Yes that season of their lives I was saying NO, all day, and disciplining alot more but that was such an easy result compared to now. The situations with these grown ups are different and disciplining as I did in the past is not an option... sometimes I wish it was ;)
(just a note:I have great children.They love the Lord, and honor me and their father just as scriptures says. For young people they do not go out there and do what others do, they do not date, they are in church every opportunity they can)
I have come to realize two things stay the same in parenting... consistency and steadfastness... you must stay consistent in your home... even at this age they challenge all the things you have taught them, and you must stay steadfast! I grow so weary,and in my most weary time, the Lord gives me a glimpse of hope and shows me that through Him all things are possible. In the meantime- I must remain strong. I must not waver and know that He who began a good work....
Stay diligent and know that the Lord is able,through it all to give me strength to guide them to Him and His righteous. The final desired result is to see them Live for Christ... right?
Thanks for allowing me to share

Thanks for the beautiful reminder, time does pass quickly. Much too quickly! Your children are so precious, my family talks about them all the time. Apparently they made quite an impression on my children a couple of years ago. ;) Miss you all!
