So thankful for this gift

The "haze"
We're in it folks... the "haze." This is what I have officially nick named what life is like when you have a newborn. You don't really remember specific moments in time but rather a blurry vision of the last few weeks. Showers become few and far between and wearing anything but sweatpants or work out shorts is also a rarity. Meals are cooked by others and even though you don't really remember the taste the next day you know it was good because it wasn't from a box. 95% of your time is used trying to remember when the baby ate last and whether the 19 month old understands you. There isn't much time for sleep or thinking about eating a nutritious meal. At this point you are simply surviving, putting one foot in front of the other as the moments come. What a beautiful reminder of the gospel. A beautiful reminder that Christ is taking care of my needs in the same way I'm taking care of my boys'. I'm not aware of my needs for him and ignorantly think I'm the one taking care of myself. I don't appreciate or acknowledge all He does for me but he doesn't stop providing. Out of his unconditional love for me he continues to anticipate and provide my every need. So thankful for my savior. Off to face the day with the renewed energy of God's love for me... and a cup of coffee on the side ;)
