....she never existed.....{Iheartfaces}

Celebrating all moms! There is a quote I hear often .... "the best thing I've ever been called.. is mom" and it holds true for me.

I love being a mom. YES, its challenging at times.. but the payoff is worth it. My children made mothers day super special for me this year. I came downstairs to a kitchen decorated with blue streamers.. and all kinds of cards. Kbugs even hid little letters throughout the house for me in places she knew I would find them... which when put together spelled out " I <3 u " Addi gave me her present early- saturday evening when she took 5 steps all by herself. Surprise mom! :)

My pastor preached an awesome mothers day message yesterday... about the awesome responsibility we hold as mothers.. parents. We are given the honor of molding.. shaping these little people God has blessed us with. This scares me sometimes... the responsibility to raise a human... not something to be taken lightly. I can raise them to be trouble makers... mean.. not willing to take authority.. bitter adults. Or.. I can raise them to be loving, kind.. gentle.. willing to help...happy adults. I make mistakes often.. and for that I'm sorry. I'm not an awesome mother all the time.. but I'm leaning on an awesome God who is slowly changing me. I love my children- they are pieces of me.... I will send to a generation I will not see.
