“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Completely...



I am amazed how completely fulfilled I am as a mother. I have always found ways to feel fulfilled and validated throughout my life. I often used my job of working with troubled teens to fill that void that as women we instinctively have in our lives. I still miss being around those kids...I did and still do find a great deal of fulfillment and love for them, I believe I always will.

However, I could never in a million years have imagined how much more complete I would feel being a mother to my own child.



So, to all you mom's out there on this Mother's Day...you are incredible and amazing to be doing what you are doing!! And to all of you women that long to be mother's, but aren't YET...thank you for finding completeness and fulfillment in being mother's to those who are in need of one. You are doubly amazing and incredible.

I completely agree. Being a mommy is just so fulfilling, the best thing ever! Very cute post.

He is such a cutie and is growing up just like Pres. I am thoroughly enjoying all these stages and it looks like you are too!
