" For this child I prayed; and the Lord has granted me the petition that I made to Him"
~ 1 Samuel 1:27
I just wanted to blog some JOYOUS thoughts! Thanks to an AMAZING meeting on Monday with some of my most favorite Catholic women, I am having a much better time MOTHERING my children. We talked about patience. What is it? How do we use it? Do we heed God's call to be patient with others as he is with us?
It has really stuck with me the last 3 days, and I must say that I have yet to loose my temper this week. Max has definatly been his usual 4 year old self, and I have tried very hard to imagine God standing there speaking through me to my son. I am writing this mostly because I have realzied that I have NO FEAR about having 3 children. I was very nervous about having 2...and it struck me that this Verse from 1 Samuel..sums it up! Although I have to very energetic kids already...for this child I did pray. I feel God's amazing Grace all over me right now, and I am so thankful that we prayerfully decided to try and have another baby. The emense joy can not be overshadowed by doubt or fear or ...well, ANYTHING!
I continue each day to thank the Lord, for the gift of children, and I am so THANKFUL for amazing, faithfilled Catholic Mothers to help guide my YOUNG faith steps! Thank you Lord for blessing me with these women, and their ever encouraging faith in YOU!!!

Grace would be a perfect name for her if you are still looking for other names. After reading this, it would just fit :) I am so glad that you are happy!
