A time to be thankful... Day 3

30 Days of Thanksgiving.

Day 3:
I am thankful that God has blessed my life with Sophia Aurora Murray! She has truly enriched my life in ways I never thought possible. I feel honored to be the mother of this beautiful little girl, who is full of so much personality, laughter, energy, smiles, independence, love, sunshine and silliness! I always thought I had an idea of what it would be like to be a mother, but had no idea that it would be the hardest and most rewarding job I ever did! So thankful that God gave me the privilege of being a mother. There is nothing in this world that I would rather do!

Taking it slow...

One thing I always have a tendency to do is jump in too deep! I have so much passion for so many things that I can get carried away with ideas of grandeur! When I found out about Disney having a Princess Half-Marathon, I thought I have to do this now! But what I am trying to realize is that I don't have to run it now, but I can start by at least training for it, so when registration comes I know I will have done my part, BUT (and this is a BIG but) if God has bigger and better plans for me, I will happily decline! I am praying that God's bigger and better plans are becoming a Mother for the second time, which is more important to me right now than goals of running in a half-marathon because I can have that opportunity again but right now is the time for motherhood! And I want to embrace it wholeheartedly with no regrets! So we shall see what comes next in my future... baby or half-marathon! I am ready for either one, and I consider both victories!
