Do you ever feel as though life is going so fast that it’s like moments and memories are just slipping away without even realizing it? I feel as though my world is constantly going too fast and thus so is my mind, my thoughts, and the moments I have with my people.
Over this past year the Lord has been teaching me several things. One of which has been the importance of slowing down in order to recognize and treasure the little things in life. I have found that the things I want to treasure in my life can be put into one of three categories: Little moments, little lessons, and little kiddos.
Little Moments: I am learning that even the most mundane or average day-to-day moments should be treasured. These moments make up my days and I am so thankful to wake up and live another day!
Little Lessons: I am a stubborn person and it can take a great bit of time for me to put myself aside and learn an important lesson from the Lord. Ultimately, my desire is to be more like him. So, I’m learning to treasure these lessons as opportunities to grow closer to the Lord.
Little Kiddos: The sweetest blessings I have are my children. Owning the title “Mom” is the hardest and most intimidating title I have ever had but it is also the absolute best one. Motherhood is hard and kiddos are rarely still. In my house it is completely normal to go from cleaning up a potty accident to getting the other child’s hand unstuck, then back to the first child to help find a specific sparkly dress, and finally on to lunch in all of about 5 minutes or less. I’m learning to treasure not only the chaos, but the kiddos who are in the middle of it all and who make my days so fun.
I’m brand new to this journey. I have so much to learn but I would love for you to join me! It’s a hard journey, but it is so rewarding!
