Wow. It is the eve before Christmas Eve and I couldn't be more excited for Christmas! I am so blessed! I have a wonderful, caring, devoted husband; a beautiful, funny, healthy, (did I mention beautiful) 8 month old baby girl; a warm & cozy home; a loving, supportive family; and a Savior who came to earth as a human baby, who died on the cross for MY sins, rose again three days later, and who walks me through each day in this life. Not every day/hour/moment is perfect or happy but it is real.
As with most of my blog posts, I will talk mainly about Emma, but this one will be different. I was doing some reading yesterday about raising children, and a certain message kept jumping off the page. It was about our children belonging to Jesus. Our babies are given to use to care for, love, and raise up, but they belong to Him. They are His, just as we are. And when I think about that, it has taken a little bit of the anxiety out of me. Knowing that God trusted us, knowing that we would do our best to give Emma the best life possible. Knowing that Jesus watches over her ALL of the time, in the moments when I can't. I feel like the earlier I try to get my mind to wrap around that fact, maybe the better off I will be...
Anywho, after a busy work week, I am ready to spend tomorrow doing some baking, and prep for our Christmas with friends tomorrow evening, and just spending the day with Emma. We are so excited that Daddy gets off early tomorrow and then gets to be home with us through Tuesday!
Hooray for Christmas time and the beaUtiful snow falling outside tonight:)
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night! (hopefully a night that includes at least 8 hours of sleep for me:)
