There are the amazing, take-your-breath away, heart bursting with joy experiences that make being a Momma the fullest most rewarding role a woman can have.
{Thank you, Lord!}
And there are the quiet everyday moments that we would miss if we blinked.
The "I should be irritated (how many times do I have to tell you not to sit or stand on the table) but you are just so darn cute moments."
The "roll on the floor laughing, this is good blackmail material" moments.
"
The, "I can't believe it, but instead of being scared, I am actually proud of my son for being able to climb so high in a tree" moments.
The, "Who stuck the barbie to the fridge with magnets?" moments.
The, "My heart couldn't be fuller because my kiddos LOVE one another" moments.
The, "Look Mom, I dressed myself today (ready for whatever the crazy Oklahoma weather brings) and can I wear this to church?" moments.
Whenever being a Momma is hard, God graciously and quietly reminds me that I have my dream job.
He gives me moments to pause and redirect my thoughts...points me back toward gratitude.
Once, I had a career outside the home, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun, energizing, rewarding, and lucrative. I felt like I was making an impact on my world and I received recognition for it. I never knew I'd be a stay-at-home-mom, let alone a homeschooling mom. I was climbing the career ladder aspiring to be a principal one day. I have a Masters degree diploma somewhere in my closet to prove it. But even as fulfilling as my career was, accolades and all, I would never trade being home with my babies. Even on the hardest, pull-my-hair-out days, I wouldn't trade being home with these precious souls for all the money in the world. I thank God for providing a life for us that affords me to have my dream job.
They are worth it! I truly LOVE being a Momma.
