Growing like a weed
Monday, July 23, 2007Wow, has the year flown by.....Tressie will be one in a few weeks. So you know I'm already making preperations for Tressie's first Birthday Bash on Aug. 11th. My little baby won't be a baby anymore; she will be heading into her toddler years. Sad and exciting at the same time. I wanted a baby for so long and now my time with my baby is quickly passing, but I'm sure it will be equally enjoyable to watch her grow into a little girl, then onto becoming a woman. It goes by so fast. I've been most blessed by staying home with her and really getting to take part in and enjoy every minute. It's benificial for everyone if Mom stays home. Money is nothing compared to the fleeting time I've spent with my daughter....and they are fleeting and every minute is special so all are held dear. I couldn't imagine having to take her to someone else everyday and then only seeing her enough to feed her dinner, bathe her, and then send her off to bed. That just isn't good enough for me.....that's not what a child needs. And I believe that if you're living in God's will then he will make a way for you to stay home and raise your children, but we have to be willing to decide what is most important to us and then stick to it and trust in God. If it's more important to you to have lots of material things, a quarter of a million dollar house, new cars, going out to eat all the time, and designer clothes then your children will get put on the back burner so you can have and provide for them those things. If your children are most important to you then you do with less material things, let God provide the neccessities, and then you can rear your children approppriatly and teach them the most valuable lesson of relying in God to meet our needs and the importance of family over finances. So I believe that it really comes down to morals or money.....which is more important? Anyway, I could write a book on the whole subject - which I intend to someday!
Love and peace!
