A Heart Leaf

Joe is an observer. He found this heart shaped leaf on the ground for me. :)

My morning thoughts.

Being a parent is both heart warming and heart breaking, sometimes all within a minute's time. Finding a balance to help each child reach their greatest potential is not for the faint of heart. Keeping the confidence of their individual struggles can be so isolating. I dreamt of motherhood my whole young life, it's kind of like a mom of older kids telling a toddler mom "enjoy this time, it passes so fast..." That toddler mom has an internal laugh attack and hopes no more hair falls out from stress. Lol I would have NEVER believed being a mom would be quite this difficult... Lord, please help me rise to the occasion of the lives you've trusted us with.
