I have had this blog for almost 2 1/2 years now and this is the first blog entry I ever wrote back in October 2004. As I was reading it, I realized I still had the same exact feelings about being a mom and thought it was worth reposting...
Seasons of Life 10/04
I have discovered over the years that there are seasons of life. There is the season of college and dating, the season of marriage, the season of working 50+ hours a week and aiming for the next promotion, and at the present moment I find myself in the season of parenting. As with the seasons we each have our favorites. For some, the barefooted days of summer is the best. For others it is the cozy, wool sweaters of winter. I think parenting is my favorite season of life to this point. The joys of parenting have FAR surpassed any expectations I had and because I am a SAHM being a parent consumes my every second of every day. I have wanted an outlet to express this joy and the blessing I have been given and I think I might have found it here. I feel like our days fly by and time is just running away from me. I want to slow things down and make this stage last forever. I know I can't, and so this is one way to keep it all alive. Until recently I use to think I lived a fairly boring life with pretty much the same routine everyday. I realize now though that my life is not boring. It is a gift and one that like the seasons, will be gone one day and I will long for it again. I have this awesome responsibility and privilege to teach Parker and Lillie wonderful life lessons, to play like I am 2 again and to love like I have never loved before.
