Blessing....

As some of you know I'm a part of this wonderful mom group through a church I now call my home church, Rock Harbor Costa Mesa. The name of the group is Nurture and I live each week looking forward to Wednesday's! 

I was invited to attend this group about a year and half ago now by a girl friend Christine...and I Thank God that she invited me and that I accepted! (thanks soooo much friend)

I have been greatly blessed by all the friendships I've made and the support group I now have because of all these moms! 

As this season of Nurture ends i am finding my self reflecting upon just how much this group means to me and what a comfort zone it has become. We gather every Wednesday for prayer, fellowship and might I add some very yummy breakfast! (prob the only breakfast I have all week) I check in my daughter to the childcare and know that she is getting loved on and nurtured at the same time that I am and the best part is they know her by name! How comforting to hear them say "yay Sarah's here!" I love knowing I can take some "me" time to really focus on God and fellowship with friends, knowing she is being well taken care of!. 

And at the end of the 2-hours I look forward to making my way down the hall eagerly waiting to hear "momma! yay!" and see her fly out the door into my arms! and as she says "bye" she is so proud of her artwork (usually a coloring page from a bible story) that she says "see mamma!" and we hold hands all the way to the car :)

so, next week is our last week before the summer break begins, and knowing I will be eagerly waiting for Nurture to start up again and missing all the girls, I know he has big plans for us this summer and am so grateful because if it wasn't for Nurture and meeting with God there every week i wouldn't be where i am today. He has given me a support group and now I am that support for some of the woman as they were for me when i needed it. Its so wonderful to know your not alone in this new job we take on called "mommyhood" and realizing that you cant study up on it, you can't go to college for it, and you certainly are not guaranteed to be born with it. Its comforting to know your not alone and to have help along the way is another huge blessing.!

So thank you God! thank you for all the support I have around me and the wonderful circle of Friends I have made and to know that we are all in it together!

That's all, I just felt like reminiscing about this group today and God layed it on my heart to realize when I'm feeling alone...that I'm not and God is here and my Church is here to lift me up. :)

Ok.....

So Today i decided I'm going to make it a point to blog every week! yep! me! blog! 

I am mainly doing this so that i can remember all the memories with my baby girl as she grows and be able to reminisce about all the good times and bad...well maybe not bad just trying..lol...

My Princess Pie is now 2yrs old and 2-months old and I'm loving every minute of her life still!. I treasure all the days of her life because i took the advice of some people and realize that everyone says how fast it goes by and i don't want to be in that group who say i can't remember what it was like it went by so fast. I feel very blessed to be called a mommy and because of my wonderful Husband who works so hard so that i can stay at home with our girl and teach her all the in's and out's of life and the morals i can can instill in her and not some intuition who will instill theirs. I'm Proud to be a SAHM&W! 

On the other hand I am doing this so that I can keep up with all you other mommies with our daily challenges and our daily praises. I hope that though the days, months, years even, that we can bond though all these entries and look back and see how far we have come as wife's, mommies and woman.

Sarah just had her 2yr old birthday party with some friends and family and it was a true milestone for all of us! we have all come along way in our little world and with God it has all been possible! I give him all the Glory in my life and promise it will always stay that way! God has blessed and trusted in me to take care of this precious bundle of joy and i feel so honored to call her my daughter. I love this little angle with all of my heart and will keep my end of the bargain and raise her in his name and to know my God and for his glory!! Amen.
