Yes, the day has at last come that I'm opening my mind up to a blog - meaning, you get to hear all that is in my mind. You will most likely get a mouthful of motherhood as this is what fills my days and my heart. I love my husband. I love my kids. And I love the Lord. When I keep these loves alive, I am happy.
So here are my latest thoughts... I was reading in the Bible a little while ago about how Christ had power to give His life; it was not taken from Him. He was not killed. Rather, He offered His life. Jesus Christ chose to give His life. I also choose to give mine as a mother. I am not forced to. Even at 3am, when Nathan cries, it my choice to give myself to him. And I choose to. Choosing to give my life is more powerful evidence of my love for my children than if they were "taking" my life.
I love this scripture: "He who seeketh to save his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 10:39)
