Her.Daddy’s.Girl

Ive been told one too many times that Id be “jealous” of their relationship; that I would feel left out. Every time I silently laughed (REALLY hard)! I know very well from personal experience the impact that a real father-daughter bond has on a little lady & would never stand in the way of my baby girl enjoying such a beautiful, priceless, & lasting life experience. . Seeing him love her and her love him makes me love my husband even more:) Ive waited my whole life to see moments like this & I wouldnt change any of it for the world. . Im blessed to be able to see my daughter share with her daddy what I am blessed to share with mine• Praise God she is her Daddy’s Girl for Life!

My.MiniQueen.

She keeps me up late and wakes me up early

She makes me get up at strange hours to fix her food and feed it to her

When she wants my attention she demands it, and her approach is not always pretty

She “fusses” at me and anytime she cries she knows ill be there at her beckon call, soooo she pretty much takes advantage of that

On nights of her choosing she totally takes over mommy and daddy’s bed!!

She wiggles in my arms until she finds the perfect position to get some rest/comfort even if its at the expense of my own comfort

Regardless of all these things I put her every need before my own and I do it with a pep in my step, gratefullness in my spirit, and joy in my heart!

Becoming.A.MoM.After.Being.his.Wife

TRUE: You are never fully “ready” for parenthood. Its one of those things you kind of wait and let God bring you to, because He knows best. But you can definitely tell the time is near when your heart is truly open (becoming open) to sacrifice.

Marriage before kids is morally/Biblically “right”/wise for a reason, it teaches us and prepares us for so much without our knowing. God is pretty clever that way

My husband has taught me and prepared me for motherhood in ways I didnt know until I held my daughter in my arms for the first time; and still each time I hold her I discover something new that loving him has taught me.

A very great part of why I will be able to effectively rear an intelligent woman of God is because I loved her daddy first in a way that only God’s Covenant could allow.

When I look at my daughter I see what God allowed my husband and me to create out of one of the most powerful and binding forms of love that exist today (the covenant held 3 stranded love that exist between man, woman, and God) and my patience grows stronger, my spirit more humble, and my love for my family becomes even more limitless.

Each time I see our daughter I get to see our love come to life all over again; Im reminded why children are a gift from God, how not to take my marriage or my husband for granted.

I want to live and soak up every moment Im given to share as a wife and mother in such a way that shows God that I am grateful. He has given me a sacrificial spirit and heart, one that I never thought I could have.

He taught me what Love is and as a result I can effectivly be (I own a set of skills I didnt know I had) something I never thought I would be ready for, something I have been unknowingly training for for the past 5/(3) years of my life, a mother to my child(ren).

I hold her and I cry.
Im linked for life to a life created out of pure, unconditional, & selfless love. I will never take the role of being a Mommy for granted:)

Women of Godly Wisdom Vs. Girls of the World

A fellow classmate of mine had a question about “why girls cant figure out when a good guy is in front of them, and why do they choose bad ones over good ones, why cant they tell when someone will be good to/ for them?” and this was my response…….

Women who can distinguish between the good and the bad are Women of Godly Wisdom. Those are women who depend more so on wisdom which means they are able to properly use discernment; and not hormones, emotions, worldly wisdom, and or flesh.

Once a female knows her worth it is not hard for her to understand what she deserves and how she deserves to be treated; her standards are set and that type of woman is fearless and bold because she is driven by faith! This is a woman who knows that if one egg is rotten thats not her fault nor is it her problem; she can pick up and move on because she KNOWS God has someone great in store for her.

She is not afraid to love again.

This woman is not hesitant or afraid to pray and talk to God and ask Him for help. When a Woman (or Man) follows God its not hard to tell what/who is for you and what/who is not, He can help you distinguish between who just wants the panties/draws to drop and who is in it for true monogomy.

I Miss, Miss Clara (:

I know a woman who emodied every synonym of the words Kind and great. A woman who was humble and ministered through the warm and enviting environment she created. She blessed so many with her kind and encouraging words and gestures. She knew exactly how to make your tastebuds melt and your tummy an addict:) She left behind a culturally rich legacy and will forever be in my heart. Im grateful for every year God gave me to spend with my GRANDMOTHER Clara McKnight. I celebrate her legacy everyday with every heart beat. . . . I LoVE my G-Ma

Even if it Means Happiness is Without YOU.

If youve ever truly loved someone and THEY hurt you because it turns out they didnt love you back (point blank period) thats no reason to not love again.

Love allows you to let go when you should because wisdom comes with love. Youre wise enough to know its time to let go and you love the other person and yourself enough to let them go on and be happy even if that means happiness is without you.
