this was my first mama's day and i was on the moon! i woke up so happy and encouraged, my smile didn't leave my face all day. there was a homemade card and a little love letter (my absolute favorite!) from my husband. fox in socks, my all time favorite dr.seuss book, not to mention a couple of other cute little books for me and the little bird. a beautiful fern. a lovely hope chest from my own sweet mama, who came down from austin to visit for the weekend.and a yummy thoughtful dinner cooked by my lovely husband for me and my mama. it was such a lovely sunday.
right now, my little bird is safely tucked on the inside, and i cannot even begin to fathom what it really means to be a mother. sometimes the thought of becoming a mother scares me, but mostly it excites me and encourages me to daily surrender to my creator. resting in the knowledge that he is leading me through this journey, and he desires even greater things for me that i could never think up or even imagine for myself. we may not have everything figured out, and we may not be abounding in what the world would consider riches, but we are overflowing in the things that matter: love, joy, mercy, and more adventure in our spirits than most have in their pinky. our hearts are open and willing to what the creator has for us through this season of stepping into parenthood.
happy mother's day to my sweet mama, the mama that raised my fun-loving, generous, kind, and handsome husband, and to all the mother's out there who are an encouragement to me!
love,
meg
