My baby girl is a year now, there is something so magical about it. And as I walk through my house shutting off lights, locking doors, drinking my last sip of wine while the house sleeps, I feel like I am finally able to truly love this chaotic life I have earned. I used to spend so much time putting things in order, setting up my to dos for the next day and preparing little what nots. 

I literally just walked through every room of my house and noticed papers scattered on the office table, toys taken out and rolled over, dishes that need to be washed and for once I didn’t feel overwhelmed. I’ve earned this mess, I’ve earned the laughter and giggles that come with a messy toy filled room. How lucky am I to see my daughter grow and explore and not only want me to see her learn but participate in ever new adventure. I feel like the luckiest woman alive. I owe it all to God and the love he has shown me through every step of my life. I hope everyone, if not today, feels the same kind of love some moment in their crazy chaotic life. 

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
