THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Being a parent is absolutely the HARDEST thing I have EVER done in my life! You have to be completely self-less, patient, flexible, understanding & calm... all on little sleep!! These qualities don't come natural to me, but since becoming a mom, God has taught me how to develop these attributes.

Through my mommy journey, I've realized that God gave Chris and I a colicky, fussy baby (Tilman is much better now ;-)) for many reasons... one of those reasons was to bring us closer to him... and it has!!! This is such a blessing, in disguise. "Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds" - James 1:2... In the tough times, we reach to God, but in the blissful moments, we often forget the creator that is blessing us with that moment. We must face tough times in order to stregthen our relationship with God. The bad times make the good times better ;-)

This page is all about inspiration.  Below are my favorite verses and quotes. They've changed my outlook, gave me hope & lifted my spirits....

QUOTES & SAYINGS

- You will never have this day with your child again. Tomorrow they will be a little older then they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, it will be over before you know it.

- I'll always need my son no matter what age I am. My son has made me laugh, made me proud, made me cry, hugged me tight, seen me fall, cheered me up, kept me strong and driven me crazy at time. But my son is a promise from God that I will have a friend forever!
