Amazed and Proud

So, I'm a little slow in my posts, yes, but I am going to try to better!

I have discovered that my two daughters both have blogs as well. This is why I am amazed and proud . . . So proud of the women of God they have both become; and So amazed at how that happened! If they look to me as an example of how to be a great woman of God, I'm afraid they have a sore example. I know they've had other women examples in their life, and for that I am so grateful! I would like to think my example had some good influence on them, but I know in my heart how short I've fallen in that example.

Now that they are both adults, it is very true that the mother/daughter relationship changes! They are great fun!! Not that they haven't been fun before, but it's on a more equal level now. I enjoy spending time with them and their friends, and I hope they like it too! I want to be that Mom that they can always feel like they can call with anything; i.e. the funny thing that just happened to them, the problem they are facing, just to say hi, . . .

In spite of me, they have turned out to be exceptional young women! Thank you, Lord, for helping me teach and guide them. And thank you for loving them even more than I do - although, I can't comprehend that much love!

I love you Erin and Allyson!! I'm proud to be your Mom!! (yes, I'm crying)
