A lot has happened since I have last been on here. I have had a baby, had a wisdom tooth pulled, celebrated my sixth anniversary in Chicago, and changed 1000 diapers!
Our precious little Zoe was born on leap day--exactly when Hopson hoping she would be born. It has been so different from when Jonah was born. I am amazed at how many differences I can already see between them even though she is still a tiny baby.
I am also amazed at the love I have for both of my children. I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to love them both, but I do. It is incredible the amount of love I have for my two kiddos.
Over the past few weeks I have learned a lot about myself and about God. I have realized to be a godly mom I must die to myself every day. I have take care of my kids when they have needs...not when I feel like it. To take care of them means to give up what I want to do or my own comfort 99% of the time. It would be easy to think that I am done working once Hopson comes home from work, but that isn't true. When he comes home it means I have to work even harder and give up more. I have another person to spend time with and work alongside. This may sound horrible, but it isn't. I have so much joy doing these things the way the Lord wants me to do them. He has taught me so much about being His daughter, being a wife, being a mom, and taking care of a house. I can honestly say that I am content with the path He has chosen for my life.
