OK, I have just returned from picking my parents up from a trip to the airport, and had the most wonderful conversation about debt and finances. I knew when I wrote Friday’s blog that there was something missing. It is all true, but there was something about grace in the process that I wasn’t quite grasping and so it came across too hard. If I were writing a book instead of a blog I would scrap the last few pages, but since it is a blog… I am taking down my post from Friday. I am going to rework it …

Happy Mother’s Day
Being a mother is one of the most incredible gifts I have ever been given. From the moment that I knew that I was pregnant with my darling Noah, I was different. I was a mother. My heart was enlarged and I knew that I would do anything in the world to keep this little life safely growing inside of me. Seeing his beautiful face for the first time was a magical moment.
