Mental Posts...

sometimes i "publish" mental posts. at the end of the day, when the kiddies are quieting down for the night, i find myself thinking of a blog post about the day. the cute things elle said or the fun new trick gavin discovered are among the things that i post. most often then not i have the good intention of actually putting these online. but then life starts again. someone wakes, the dishes call my name or sleep comes quicker than planned.

today i was mentally posting as i listened to elle drift off to sleep. it was a beautiful post. one that i want hold in my heart.

i am grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord that remind us what is most important. gavy was sick last night and i got little sleep. and although the day started to drag in the later afternoon hours, i am grateful for the chance i got to slow my pace. to cherish the things that are important. to hold my babies. to listen to their voice. and to hear. sometimes i find myself running in frantic circles feeling like i am not really going anywhere. today i felt slow. i felt sure. i felt steady. today i listened and today i learned.

amazing how this journey called motherhood refines us. refines me. amazing that the Lord trusts me with such treasured and marvelous children. because of them i am better. because of them i am blessed. forever.
