So very grateful

I can't stop thinking this morning about how grateful I am for this little sweetheart. My pregnancy
with her happened at a time when we had more on our plate than we have ever had in our lives.
Everything was just so overwhelming. And yet the prompting was sure and unmistakable.
And something I never would have chosen with my overly human, completely exhausted mind.
But I will be grateful for all of eternity that the Lord knew she belonged in our family and touched
my heart in a way that I've never questioned it once. This little firecracker is good for her momma.

 And while I often look around and wonder how in the world someone like me, full of impatience
and craziness and so many shortcomings, could have six kids, I have felt more humble than usual
of late that my Father in Heaven would let me. Precisely because of my impatience and craziness
and so many shortcomings. I love the six I've been entrusted with to the deepest part of my heart.
I know I was put on this earth to be their mom. And I'm so profoundly grateful.
