What I asked for....

The girls and I have been taking it slow around here this week. We had no plans to be anywhere and no intentions to change that.

We took long walks. Enjoyed the cooler weather. Wore comfy clothes all day....yoga pants for me, leg warmers and tutu's for Bella. Unless of course we had to walk outside then that called for rain boots of course.

 

We worked on lot's of little projects. Did some redecorating of the rooms. Put on makeup just cause and painted our toes. Twice. Because Bella likes to scratch her polish off. 

I wish it were possible to freeze time. But it's not. And sometimes I'm more aware of that than others.

Sometimes it weighs heavy on me. That these babies won't always be.

A lot of emails didn't get sent this week. Lot's of things got left on the to-do list. But I decided I was ok with that. Sometimes it's better to just take a step back and be still for a bit. 

I know God has given me a dream. And it's a big one. But he's also given me these precious 3. To hold and care for, to love on and laugh with. 

I started to feel overwhelmed with everything on my plate. Wondering if I could handle it all. The magnitude of what my dreams could be, the purposes He's planned for me....While still being the mother my children deserve and the wife my heart cries to be.

Then I read something from Christine Caine..

"So instead of a meltdown, I prayed and thanked God for all that He had done in my life. The tensions I was now managing were a result of the prayers I had prayed, and with each answered prayer comes another dimension of responsibility and accountability. I smiled and prayed for the grace to not only get through today, but thrive and enjoy the journey. And I already am I even prayed for new opportunities to reach even more people...and I will have to remember that I got what I asked for when it happens"

Everything I am, He made me. 

Everything I have, He gave me 

 and every bit of it,
I asked for.

So thankful for answered prayer
