"A woman needs a man ... like a fish needs a bicycle"
~Irna Dunn

Motherhood is a task that at times does not seem equal to the super powers that I possess. It is a blessing, an honor, a cherished responsibility, a wondrous experience - but it can be overwhelming, challenging, and downright bone-wearying tired. It demands everything every second of the day. There are times when I feel like I've run out of anything to give. but in those moments God gently reassures me that they have a Heavenly Father who loves them to infinity and beyond. He will strengthen me and guide me as I raise my children in the knowledge of Him.

It seems like my birthday will be spent sending up prayers of thanks, eating lots of cake, reflecting, planning and preparing for good things to come for the New Year
Thank you, God, for giving me another year of life. Thank you for all the people who remembered me today by sending cards, and letters, gifts and good wishes. Thank you for all the experience of this past year; for times of success which will always be happy memories, for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for you, for times of joy when the sun was shining, for times of sadness which drove me to you. Forgive me for the hours I wasted, for the chances I failed to take, for the opportunities I missed this past year. Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet, and through it to bring good credit to myself, happiness and pride to my loved ones, and joy to you. Amen.
I pick up pieces of me - piece by piece part by part. Tomorrow a new day will unfold, Tomorrow - I will play a new part.
I once knew a little boy that used to be so happy, prayed everyday, believed in himself and no problems. I once knew a little boy (that I don’t know anymore) he’s clothed in pain, drowned in tears and heartbreak and filled with self pity. Sometimes, I wonder if you ever pause to take a deep breath.
My heart has heard you say “Come and talk with me"

and my heart responds “Lord, I am coming”

Psalm 27:8
