Run the Race

Izy turned 7 months this past week and I can hardly believe it. In some ways it seems like she has been here forever and yet others it feels like just yesterday I was pregnant. I am adjusting to the life of a stay at home mother of two. There are definitely days when I question whether God was mistaken in calling me to be a stay at home mom. Especially those mornings where they both whine incessantly and nothing seems to be going our way. Really? Me God? But there are also moments when there is no doubt in my mind! Something that God has continually been instilling in me through various ways is that I am called to "keep running with endurance the race set before me (Heb. 12:1)." I have a hard time feeling like I am changing the world when all I do is translate grunts and wipe butts. Like I need to be doing more for Him. But then I am reminded that this is the race I am in right now and I need to run as hard as I can...and make the most of every second of it! So, here are my two favorite little people making my two favorite faces...Jac and her serious face; Izy and her just being precious face. I hope they make you smile! Love you all!
