so, alexa woke up yesterday morning with a fever. we went to the doctor to see if it was strep. we will find out today (strep has been going around). you know alexa is not feeling well when she wants you to hold her...a lot!
have you ever felt stretched? i often tell god that i want to be changed in a certain area....he begins to change me and i am uncomfortable with he way he does it. change me...but not that way...an easier way!
i will be honest and say that i tend to be selfish :) i love my space and time. being a mom has taken a lot of that out of me, but at the same time has made me more *jealous* for my own time. i tend to look at other people's problems and situations and think if i can do what i am doing with all that is on my plate...they can too. and most of all don't complain about it! that is where god comes in and teaches me patience, grace, and compassion. god has given me the grace to handle all that is on my plate and grace to do it well :) i am not to compare my stuff with other people's stuff. god continue to teach me...
where did that come from?
on a funny story note....alexa is in a little gymnastics class at the y and goes with sara. they have a mini rock climbing wall for the kids to climb over. alexa is not interested in climbing it, but interested in the screws. she is definitely her dad's daughter...give her a screwdriver and she is content!

Yes Kris, this IS life. Having children and embracing parenthood, as opposed to just being a mother, is the most unselfish thing a person can do-even though I didn't know it till I was a mother. Then it was too late to even think of if only... The LOrd give grace and wisdom and makes you grow up fast.
