Parenting...

I am so happy and delighted to actually be able to say that i can fit into this role now and actually say I am a mother!!  I am now able to experience the joy of motherhood and seeing what family is all about.  There are two different types of families, the family you are born into and that is your family, then there is the family you actually get to "make" and "mold" and form it all from the very start.  To see yourself as a baby when your an adult, is a gift from God.  To see personality traits in a little person that you created is a gift from God.  Most importantly to have someone so special as a partner where you are able to produce offspring and have the Love of the Lord, is a gift from God.  Here i am able to look at my life before being married and having a family and there is a huge difference.  Here i thought i was acutally "living" and I find out that i wasn't at all.  When you are alone it is all about what "you" want, or how "you" feel, you don't have to answer to anyone, so what it does is, it gives you time to have perfection in your selfishness, and God help you if you aren't following the Lord, because if you are not, then you will waste time searching for a "filling" that only the Lord can give you.  Then i see my life now, married and have a family and the best way i can explain it is that i have a guaranteed partner for LIFE!!!!  I have a lover until I die on this earth, and that is such a comfort that I cannot explain.  I have a husband that I can share moments with, new morals, new values, new traditions, we are officially a TEAM!!!  Then we expanded our family and now we are responsible for molding a little human being, and we get the chance to do it God's Way.  We are so excited to do it the "Right" Way and not the way of the "World."  We get to love on this little human being, give him security, and most importantly be people that he can count on for life.  To all the parents out there, it is such a privelage and honor from the Lord, so take the time, and do it the right way, and raise godly people.
