For those of us with (multiple) children...

Sometimes my kids drive me CRAZY with their constant competing with each other !

Like today, my daughter said "Mommy why don't you put pictures of me on your blog."

I just sit sometimes and think, why can't everyone just get along.

I watch as the Lord is changing her and she's had some pretty big crosses in her life already.

What I see in her is a mirror image of what I go through and sometimes I don't act much different then a child. Especially when the Lord is focusing on a specific area to change.

But I'm so proud of my daughter because I'm watching the metamorphosis of growing not just physically but spiritually as well.

To watch what my husband and I have planted (Christ within her)and watered but the Lord has/is giving the increase.

To let her grow into who SHE is, is really neat as a parent. I imagine it's the same with our Father.

What's interesting (to me anyway) is that the same way there was the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost before the foundation of the world.
I see the reflection of that here on earth as our Lord (the foundation,) the Father of a household (the head,) and then his wife (spouse, helpmate, Mother.)

I love you my dear Rachael ! You make me happy and proud in everything you do, even as you're learning and growing up and changing - you make me proud !
