I'm not talking about at the ultrasound, where both my husband and I cried at the news. I'm not talking about at Costco when I saw a mom and her 4 girls, all with fancy braids, and I realized I would get to "do girl hair!"<br />Nope, the shocking realization for me came when I was in the midst of worship at a conference. The realization that I would be the focus and prime example of how to be a Godly woman, wife and mother to this little girl in my womb. She would be looking primarily to me to learn exactly how to be a woman of God. <br />ACK!!!!!! <br />I am SO NOT READY! <br /> Being a mom to boys wasn't so hard - I could lead and guide them. But they frequently reminded me where their focus was. "When I grow up, I'm gonna ........ just like Papa." Ahhh... the focus wasn't on me. <br />But now, I have two girls. Two tender hearts watching me, wanting to be like me. And OH! How I hope and pray they AREN'T like me! I want so much more for them!<br />Thank you for the reminder that I *MUST* depend upon Him to continually change and mold me, as well as lead them DESPITE me. :DYouthful Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101723074598664481noreply@blogger.com
