February has a lot in store for our family. I love February for several reasons and the oldest reason is because it's my birthday month. You notice I say "oldest" reason. It is no longer "a" reason because my little girl was born exactly 21 days before my 28th birthday. =) We share a birthday month and it's wonderful!!! My little sassafrass will be 8 years old on Friday and frankly, I am happy and thankful and excited but at the same time I think I need to file a complaint and report a robbery of about the last 6 to 7 years. Where was I? Surely it didn't go by that fast?! Did someone unfreeze me from a coma? I cannot comprehend how quickly my children grow up. Colton will be ten this year....in six more months. WOW! I am so unprepared for them growing up. When they were babies I read so many books about parenting and raising children in a Godly home. I have failed miserably and I have said for a long time that my children should know how to apologize and ask for forgiveness because that is one thing I have had to do so much in their childhood. Being accountable for my actions is very freeing. I can admit when I am wrong and ask for forgiveness....heaven knows I have had a lot of practice!!! I always pray God would protect my children from my mistakes as a parent. I love them so much and want so much for them. I want holiness for them. I want obedience in Christ for them. I want their hearts to be filled with love for the weak, lost and hurting in this world and for their desire to be solely on what Christ's will is for their lives.
Thank you Father for loaning me the most precious children....I am a proud Mama and a humble child of God. I love you Father!!!
I am My Fathers Daugher,
