It has been such an awesome gift for Shane and I to get to know our little guy and watch him change and grow daily. I could have never had imagined how amazing it is being a mom. It is the best job in the world! It is so physically draining yet so fulfilling at the same time. I feel like I am living life in a different world now and through different lenses...it's definitely a big eye opener to how much my life really isn't mine anymore. I know it's ultimately God's, but Micah comes first before my needs. I don't think I realized it until I became one how selfless being a mother really is. If any of you have a mother out there thank her for mothering you. She gave so much of herself for you so that you would be happy, and have all your needs met and taken care of. There is nothing else I'd rather do. I praise God for the awesome gift he has given us!

Katie,
You are so right! Being a mother is awesome. I appreciate my mom (and dad) so much more since I became a parent.
I've read part of this book today on how children bring so many gifts into our lives like the gift of wonder and honesty. They show us who we really are. We think we are raising them up to be who we think they should be but God is using them in our lives to make us what He wants us to be.. Oh there was so much more but I'll write a novel if I keep going. They are truly wonderful gifts from heaven that constantly remind us of the Wonderful Gift Giver.
Hi Katie,
I love your blog. You are very right about thanking about our parents for their commitments to us. I read a Chinese proverb that said: "To understand your parents love, you must raise children yourself." How true is that. I didn't fully appreciate my parents until I moved away, and now as a parent even more so. Click on my name to check out our family blog. I think about you and Shane often and would really like to get together if you would like. So much has happened in both of our lives since we last saw eachother.
Thanks for the comments!
