Happy Mother's Day

This is my first Mother's Day.  

I can now appreciate my own mother more than I ever have before.  I know what it feels like to be exhausted and overcome with love at the same time.  I've nursed, warmed bottles, changed diapers, and rocked a baby to sleep.  I've worried and laughed and cried - all within the same hour.  I'm a mom.  

I still remember what it feels like to long for this day.  I am forever grateful to the one who made me Mommy.  

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give  you a hope and a future."
