Mommy on a mission

I laid in bed last night thinking about how much I enjoy my life these days. Don't get me wrong there are times when I feel like I am hitting a brick wall with my little one or that the pile of laundry makes me want to cry. But when I really started to think about it I am more content with my life than I have ever been. Being a wife and mom have brought me more fulfillment than any other vocation that I have ever had. I loved teaching and poured my heart into the children that came into my classroom each day, but being here at home day in and day out has brought me so much joy! I know that there is mundane aspects of our days for stay at home moms, but there is a greater calling that we must see. God is calling us to lead our children, to provide a haven of safety for them. He is calling us to love and serve our husbands to make our home a place of love and encouragement. May the words of Proverbs 31:28-29 be said of us:
²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

²⁹ "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

Praying today that God will grant me the wisdom and strength to continue to love this calling on my life!

Virginia on my mind

I thought today would be a great day to start a blog. My husband and our beautiful daughter CE just spent the last 48 hours driving to Lynchburg, VA, helping our best friends move in to their new apartment and then driving back home. There was a little sleep here and there but that was mainly what happened. As we drove back home my mind kept thinking of how much life has changed for us in the last few years. I am hoping that this blog will be helpful for me to remember to take time to enjoy and remember the simple things that are happening around me every day!
