Doesn't it seem like everyday there are new changes in life?
Ones we can't seem to stop and some we don't really want?
I'm pretty sure that it was yesterday that I was a teenager, and then a newlywed, and then a young mom. Yet, today when I woke up, I realized, like I do each morning, that I've aged a few years and life has changed drastically from what it used to be and what I thought it would be.
Not necessarily bad or good, just different. But changes are part of life and so far I have not found a way around it. Though, I keep trying.
In this last year we have learned some new things, had some set backs, and made some adjustments. But we have kept going and are learning to adapt when needed and to just take one day at a time.
I do think that God is enjoying his daily laugh when I sit down and plan out our day, our week, our month, or when I have an idea of what the next step in our life will be.
I like to plan and would love to have a day or two go exactly as planned but I have yet to experience things going according to my plan! So as we (mainly myself) are learning to accept and work with some changes, I am trying to see His plan and to trust that He will get us though each day.
Talking about changes, are there any other parents that are in denial about how much and how quickly their babies are growing and changing? I know I am!
What were three sweet little babies (just yesterday) are now big kids and a teenager! Why-oh-why do they grow so fast? Though I will admit that I am enjoying this stage. No more diaper bags, car seats, strollers, and thankfully no more diapers! I miss the baby stage, but we are having fun and I am loving the "big" kids and teenager I see growing and changing daily.
I never imagined that I could enjoy older kids and a teenager as much as I enjoyed my babies. But I do and I am loving this new part of our life. It is quite the adventure.
And so the adventure continues...changes and all.
