It has been 11 weeks that I’m a mama of 4. Well, in a few minutes. (It’s 5:26am). The past 11 weeks has gone by fast but has also gone slowly. I had soaked up every part of you, Annette Jolie, who is even more beautiful than your name. I have held you, and have been thoughtful. I have been blessed with guidance and patience from the Holy Ghost. I have grown closer to the Savior and Heavenly Father and Mother. I have realized things about myself I never knew. I have been supported and cared for, encouraged, lifted, loved by Collin, Frederick, Harriet, Ella, my mother, my father, my mother and father in law, more family and friends. I have been healing physically and emotionally. I am stronger. I can breastfeed a baby, give attention to kids after school, make lunches and breaskfasts and dinners, read to, listen to, can care for four children. I can sleep and wake and sleep and wake and sleep and wake. Day in and out. I can make it through a 3 year olds tantrums with patience and loving I gnoring. I can teach my children to do chores, and about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I can read my personal scriptures and study come follow me every morning. I can follow the prophet and have faith in him and in Jesus Christ and His church. I can prepare my children for baptism and lives of service. I can write letters to my brother on his mission. I can prioritize. I can try to get through insecurities. I can be strong for myself. I can be confident in who I am. I can pet and feed a kitty. I can play music and sing halloween songs. I can help my children with their music practice. I could go on and on.
It took me a week to post this. HAHA!
This is my morning every day...
Very sweet. I'm so thankful you are a Mother in Zion. You are on the Covenant Path. I learn from you everyday.
ReplyDeleteBecause of your example, and my Savior, I keep a journal again, and it helps me to remember talks, testimonies, memories, thoughts,that I might not have without.
You lovingly showed me, even if we're empty nesters, we can still learn from "Come Follow Me".
You are a Mother of 4 and you are doing it wonderfully.
Love you
Mom
It's been a while since I've been on blogspot and therefore a while since I've read your blog, but man, I have always loved your blog! Always so down-to-earth and uplifting at the same time.
