more thoughts from a mommy...

life as a mommy...of 3 boys...all born within 32 months...
so many words to describe the day to day of this are racing through my tired mommy brain...
*magical
*amazing
*exhausting
*encompassing
*all consuming
*entertaining
*self-sacrificing
*hilarious
...and the list goes on.

everyday, i am learning more of what it means to parent, and more importantly, to parent well.
i can always remember {even prior to me having babies} hearing moms struggle with finding purpose in being a mom---and i never quite got it---and i still don't.
how can one not feel a sense of purpose in being a mom?
isn't that one of the most purpose-filled jobs?
as a mom, everything we do should have purpose...
pur·pose {dictionary.com}
1.the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc.
2.an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal.
3.determination; resoluteness.
right now, i exist to be a mom to my 3 amazings...and in saying that, another word, just popped into my mind---difficult. {how was that not higher on the list?}
being a mommy, a good mommy, is difficult.
crazy difficult.
there are days when i feel as though one more minute is going to completely consume me.
there are moments when i feel as though this difficult season is not going to get any easier.
and then, i remember---i have purpose.
god created me to be a mom to my 3 amazings.
god created my jake, henry, & my william so i could be their mommy.
talk about purpose!
{this entry is so going somewhere i never intended for it to go...anyway...}
we have our babies for such a short time...time is racing by...may i always parent with intention...with purpose.
