Dear family

We celebrated mothers day on Saturday. You made me breakfast, bought me a lovely gift and took me out bike riding for the day.
I got many tiny sloppy kisses, snugly hugs and sleepy cuddles.

But family, the greatest gift you have given me is you.
Everyday. Plain. Old. You.

Being a mama is not all bike rides in the sun but being a mama to you little Lucy and alongside you papa Myles 8s the best adventure of my life. I'm far from the perfect mama. Far from even the worlds best. I don't deserve a superhero t-shirt or a medal or a prize but you love me anyway. When I don't pay you enough attention little one, you still have a big sloppy kiss to give me. When I'm impatient with you my love you are patient right back.

I love this family. I wouldn't have life any other way. Thank you for a beautiful life and happy mothers day.

Love mama



Happy mothers day to you too. Hope you had a lovely time enjoying the blessing of family in all it's joy and struggle.

To grow closer

Life has been a little all over the place since...well I can't remember when it wasn't. Lu and I have just spent the week away from Myl. That was hard. I've been struggling over thinking about who I am as a wife of a future pastor, mother and woman of God. It's tough.

One thought that God has given me is that in order to be a good wife, mother and woman, I need to practice and u need Him. I've always been a flaky bible reader but I have realised that it is LIFE giving.
Wait a second.

It is LIFE giving. A book. Gives life?
Well yes it does.

It is life giving, life changing, life destroying, life filled. It is a book worth reading over and over again.
So in giving it a read hot go. I've got through Romans and am working through Daniel. Just a few verses at a time. In the morning while Myl and lu play. As I read I write and I doodle just to keep the joy visually in my mind all day.

And oh does God give life when you read his life giving book. I've had a shocker of a few months growing and learning and changing. What joy! It's not over but nor is life.

Won't you join me, reading, writing and doodling through this book that gives life?
