How can one ever even begin to put into words the mystery and wonder that it is to be a mom! My eyes fill with tears as I sit here and ponder such a thing. I am overcome with feelings that are far too great to describe... I always wondered if, once I had a child of my own, I would understand in a more real way the sacrifice that it was for God to send His only son to die on the cross for us... On one hand I feel that I can now answer that question with a resounding YES! And on the other hand, now that I have experienced this indescribable depth of feeling for another being - I am that much more certain that the profundity of what HE felt is infinitely beyond our ability to comprehend. My prayer...is for the grace to live life in a way that appreciates that extraordinary sacrifice - made on my behalf so as to make it possible for me to be reconciled to HIM! I stand in awe...
I feel blessed beyond imagination and so privileged to be a mom! It has only been 4 months, yet try as I may, I cannot fathom what life was like without Sterling!
We got to enjoy a wonderful brunch together at one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Annapolis! It was a sweet surprise from my mother-in-law. She had called Tim and asked him to take me out as their gift to me (they live in Indiana). What a lovely surprise! I had never had their brunch but had always wished that we could go some day. It was perfect! We got there right as they opened and beat the crowds! Our waitress was sweet, the food was fantastic, and Sterling slept through the entire thing!
After breakfast and church we went to my parents and hung out with my family for the rest of the day. We ate, played a few games...and just enjoyed being together!
