I know, I know, not much blogging going on!

It seems that time flies by soo quickly these days, sometimes so much so that I feel like I need 24hrs of daylight to do all I need to do!

So Soren's birthday was a success. Putting so much time and effort into a one yr old's birthday party seems to many to be unwise, but I felt like he needed HIS day to be huge! He's only one once, and with tragedy striking so soon after his birth, we all needed to celebrate HIS arrival!

He has grown so much just in the last 2 months, walking, talking, climbing, laughing, and playing with his sister, who loves him to pieces! We are very blessed to have such wonderful kids! Whilst there are fights from time to time, they are mostly sorted a few short minutes later, with them running off to play together again!

I still feel like a girl playing mum sometimes, and then I look at my kids, thinking these are MINE, they are REAL and I helped make them! GOD, THANK YOU for entrusting these amazing creatures to me! GOD, THANK YOU for allowing me time to grow and shift into mother-gear. GOD THANK YOU for these blessings and all others you shower into my life!

Motherhood seems like such a burden to some, and to others children are a tick on their to-do list, and I feel for the children in those situations. I am glad to have such wonderful mums around me, who have the same passion for God and their kids as I have for mine! GOD, THANK YOU for those beautiful mums, and mums to be!

Lord, its all in your hands! I am putting all doubts, frustrations and guilt into YOUR hands! I am trusting in you and holding firm to you! I am standing! And I am rejoicing in the light YOU shine into my life, through my kids, my captivating friends, and through YOUR presence in my heart!
