So, I know it's been a long time since my last post... Sorry. life has been a little crazy here. (Plus, our wireless router has had issues...) Anyway, I'm back!
I'm now a full-time stay at home mom, which as been my Dream career for years. It's fantastic! I love it! Even when I'm cleaning toilets, answering "why?" for the 100th time, or listening to whiny-ness, I love it! Jonathan started Mothers Day Out this week. I love that he is at a place I trust-biblically, as well as just caring for his needs and teaching him basic things. His first day, he walked right in to his classroom and started coloring. Even as I walked away with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, I was thankful that he had come so far as a little person, and that he wasn't the poor child sobbing underneath the table!
Today, as I drove away, I saw lots of mini-vans in the parking lot and more coming down the street to drop off their precious cargo at MDO, and I had tears I my eyes again. But this time it was for a different reason. This time, it was thankfulness and awe at what God has done in my life. You see, I have dreamed of being a minivan kinda mom for so long, and wondered so many times if it would ever happen. After losing three precious babies before I ever got to hold them, I wondered if I would ever have the joy of children. After working outside the home for so long, I wondered if I would ever have the opportunity to spend my days cleaning house, chasing after my sweet son, and getting dinner on the table most nights. I longed to play at the playground on a weekday morning, be able to have a girls night out without feeling guilty, and, yes, drive around getting groceries in a minivan. Now, before you begin to think this is an endorsement for a car manufacturer, please realize that it's not the vehicle, but what it symbolizes. (Although, I have to say that I do love the convenience and comfort of my
minivan...)
And so, as I look ahead to exciting possibilities God has in our future, I am thankful, oh SO thankful, to be another minivan mom in the car line.
