Do you know what my goal is in life? To have my children "rise up and call me blessed". I strive for that. I want that. I want to teach them about Jesus (my greatest fear is that they won't KNOW Him personally). I want to show them how to be a godly wife and mother. I want them to grow up and want to be my best friend. My Mama is like this. She is the greatest Mom. She has shown me how to be a Mom. How to strive to be better. She has taught me so much, and I can't thank her enough. For fearing the Lord. For loving my Daddy. For loving me.
As I told you before, Mother's Day is generally hard for me. Today I wanted it to be different....and it was. When Chloe died, in my anger, I told God he "owed" me THREE more girls. I really have no dea why I would say this. Grief I suppose. But He listened. And He blessed me with them. Gifts. To let me know that I am a good Mama. That it wasn't because of me she died. And I really enjoy the gift of them. I don't need fancy presents. They are more than enough. They are just what I need. And I tried so hard today to be positive...to focus on what is HERE...and the Father showed me how precious they are. How lucky I am to be a Mom. I am SO thankful.

Sounds like you had a nice mothers day. I am glad it was better than past ones. I am sorry I didn't call you yesterday to wish you a happy mothers day. We were busy, ran into some issues with some purchases and really rushed all day. Those aren't good enough excuses, so I am sorry.
I will probably need to take you up on the offer to watch the boys for a week. The pill didn't work, so now on to surgery. Ok, we'll talk about that later. Love You!!!
Very well said. Glad to hear you had a better day today! :)
Steph, I am so glad this Mother's Day was better than the past ones.
Hey, I never knew that you told Him that He owed you THREE girls. That is too neat. See, He does listen.
I hope your Mother's Days are great from now on. Just focus on what you DO have......which is 4 beautiful girls!! We love you, Steph!!
