So I read this blog (
http://lysaterkeurst.com/2012/01/i-dont-want-to-raise-a-good-child/) from the Proverbs 31 ladies or one of them and let me just say...she described Maddison to a T! And it really put a lot of things in perspective for me about what we want for the girls! My prayers used to very much be please show me how to raise a GREAT child! I want Maddison and Molly to be amazing and up to their full potential! But after reading this I do realize I have been praying about this all wrong. I don't want to
raise a great child I want to raise a child of God the way he wants them to be. I pray every night they become the amazing women of God they are meant to be and I'm sure through all the crazy things or the things that seem crazy, they are gonna throw at me in the end life will be ok and it will all work out! Things are the way God has intended them to be :) There are not such things as perfect kids or great kids as there are no such things are perfect parents. I just want to be the best I can be at being a momma and know that God has the rest under control! Life is never going to work the way we have planned it and well toddlers and babies are never going to act they way we hope most of the time either. But knowing God has it all under control makes me breathe easy and for that I am thankful!
