I'm Back!
I have been on a blogging hiatus and actually I have missed it. I needed some time off, and now I'm back. Last week, we went and got Hannah's two year old pictures taken. They are adorable! It reminded me of how fast our little girl is growing up. I was also reminded that the purpose of parenthood is to raise them up so they can be on their own one day. It was like God was, and has been saying to me, "You know, Sarah, you only get Hannah for a little while and I have entrusted her to you-please cherish these times that may be difficult because they won't last forever and someday you will wish you had them back." These recent weeks have been very challenging (teething, potty training, tantrums, clinginess, behavior issues...,) but it rings over and over in my ears that my time with God is SO important if I don't want to totally lose it during the day. I have come to realize that God has made it so I can do what I have always wanted, which is stay at home with my child, and I need to do that job to the best of my ability. God doesn't want me to lose my cool or get stressed out, He wants me to enjoy this time He has given me to enjoy Hannah and to be the mother He wants me to be. After all, I am doing it ultimately for Jesus. I want to make Him proud.
