Patience and Grace
I haven't exactly made it a big secret that Ev has been driving me CRAZY the last couple of days. I can't really explain what "the deal" is, except to say that the wills of two willful females are colliding in our house this week. I will be honest and say, that while she has pushed me to the edge, I have not felt nice, I have not said entirely nice things, etc. Tonight for the first time, I explored a "new to me" photographer's blog. While I was happily clicking around, I clicked upon this. A post about this photographer loosing her three year old daughter, Ava. I have sobbed, literally sobbed, for the last ten minutes. Looking at her photos ached like a brick sitting in the center of my heart. I now really just want to crawl into Evie's bed and snuggle. I pray that I can face my day with Evie tomorrow with a renewed patience and grace. Not necessarily less discipline, but that God would allow me to shine for her. I pray that she will know that she is loved!

Wow. I'm speechless. And probably not going to fall asleep after reading that. Let's get together this week, k?
I like that..."that God would allow me to shine for her". I think I will adopt that prayer for Owen. I feel like I am failing miserably these days.
Aw, that blog was so sad.
You are doing a good job being a good mom to your kiddos. They are blessed to have you. It is such a tough job, I have high respect for you! And I am a little envious, because that is what I wish I was doing right now.
