2x2x2x2x2=Proud Mama

Today is a day full of 2's. 2 girls are turning 2 years old. 2 of everything will follow - 2 cakes, 2 presents, 2 hugs...well, you get the picture.

I get how my mom felt all those times when I heard her say "time flies"! I feel it...and now I find myself thinking, "In 13 years, the girls will want to get their driver's license...and then they will want to date..." I know, let's not get too ahead of ourselves : ). So, I'll do my very best to enjoy life now. This will be a full year - potty training, big girl beds, dressing themselves, more independence...so much to get ready for! Pray for me - I'll need it! : )

Today I can look back on the difficult season of life we persevered through while trying to get pregnant and I can see how we are better because of the trial. "Bad circumstances have a way of bringing the best out of us." (Mark Batterson, In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day) I am also reminded of the verse that inspired this blog in the first place: James 1: 2-4 "Consider it pure joy...whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
