My motivation for recording my thoughts and some of the events of my life electronically is many faceted. I have three children. They are the loves of my life. At present they are 17, 11, and 9. The oldest two are girls and that leaves my youngest which is of course a boy. Since my oldest daughter was about two weeks old I have had an extreme awareness that I wanted her (all of them) to look back on their childhoods and see a mom who loved them no matter what and would do whatever possible for their good.
One thing I prayed at the beginning of my mothering journey, that God would give me the wisdom to raise them in a way that they would be ready and willing to fulfill the purpose He created them for at the right time.
Additionally, given how consuming parenting can be, I have been recently on a journey to discover more of what He has planned for me, and what that looks like, feels like etc. Personally I am pretty amped about who He has made me to be.
Currently daughter 1 is looking at colleges. She will be graduating next year. We are taking a trip in the spring to visit her top 4 choices (Harvard, Yale, Georgetown and Howard). She has known she was going to be a Doctor since she was 5 and a Pediatric Oncologist from about 12. Needless to say a very focus young lady.
Daughter 2 is new in middle school (6th grade) she is working hard to become the next big fashion designer. She loves to create designs that she envisions all of us in.
My son is a busy guy. He is, as I type, engrossed in taking apart an old laptop of my to see whatever he can see. That is the kind of guy he is.
All of them are really intelligent, I am honored to be their mom. I love it.
As for me, I have worked in the childcare industry for 18 years. I am also a student pursuing a Nursing degree as I work and raise my children as a single mom. God is good to me. I have all of this on my plate and I am handling it. Never thought I could do all that I do. But later for that we have to save something for later.
See ya!
