Okay. I don't know a lot of things FOR SURE. But these two things I do know (prompted by an awesome lesson in RS today):
1. Childhood doesn't wait. . . and because of that I'm thankful. . .
2. . . . I didn't let fear win when I decided to be a stay-at-home mom. It was scary to think of letting go of one income, of letting go of my friends at work, of letting go of a positive outlet in my life, but I always knew that for me it was the right thing to do. I stood firm in a world that didn't/doesn't advocate my same ideals/morals. I had simple faith and knew my family would be blessed and be okay financially. I can honestly say that this has happened in my life. I have felt blessed in countless ways from the very beginning of my decision. And I am so thankful. I'm thankful to be these four beauties' mother and being a part of their quickly passing childhood. I'm so grateful that I can be a stay-at-home mom as I realize not everyone has the choice to do so. I'm glad I had the choice. I'm glad I didn't listen to the world, or I wouldn't be living my dream.
Now, if I can learn to perfect my dream by continually "finding joy in the journey" I would be one happy camper.
