I'm a blessed Momma
Kathrynne is growing up and I can hardly believe it. She's 15 months old today. Where did my little newborn go?
She is toddling around now (a bit unsteadily -- good thing she wears cloth diapers for extra cushioning for all the times she falls down!) and talking up a storm (both in sign language and English and sometimes both at the same time!).
A few days ago, all on her own she had a little devotional time -- She sat on the couch (where we always sit when we read the Bible together) and folded her little hands and bowed her head to "pray." Then, she pulled the Bible and hymn book off the end table and "read" and sang for about 15 minutes. Then, she folded her little hands, bowed her head, and ended in "prayer." It was so adorably beautiful to see her doing this all of her own accord.
There are days when I feel like all I do is correct and discipline her for disobeying, clean up messes she makes, and try to come up with something productive for her to do which will keep her occupied and out of the trashcans, toilets, and cleaning products for longer than 25 seconds. But when she does something like the above, or comes up and pats me and says "Momma," or waddles over to me and gives me a kiss, or smiles and giggles with me, it makes all the work worth it.

Yes,you are, I have to agree with you. The devotional time, Simply Precious! The Lord Definitely uses Children.
Yes, God has given you and Jesse a wonderful gift!! It's something I look forward to in the future and pray that God blesses me with a husband and children as well! :)
