I think when kids are born they should come with some kind of manual that they automatically just hand you here Mom this is directly from God himself. This is the best way to deal with all the problems that arise during my life....when I cry when I am a baby do this and I will be consoled or when I become a teenager.... this is how you deal with my smart mouth or when I start liking girls....and so on you get my point man that would be so simple rather than doing this and wondering God and I am going to screw my kids completely up...Dear Lord teenagers are a whole different story. If you moms out there have teenagers you know exactly what I mean . I truly believe when kids become 12 or 13 aliens come down and suck out their brains and place them in a capsule and keep them until they turn maybe 25, and I sit and think there is no way I could have possibly been so clueless as teenager.....Right....I mean I couldn't have worried my Mom & Dad when they were raising me ....Right??? Then it gets me thinking how fast life just passes you by and your children just grow up they don't wait for you to get ready for them to change it just happens.
I can remember the day the girls were born Tristan then was 8, Malachi 2 and Tristan looking up at me with those little brown eyes and saying Mama I guess I will have my hands full taking care of these girls when they are bigger...LOL....I can remember a day that when my kids were really small all I could think of was when they get bigger it is going to be so much simpler and easier for me......oh was I so wrong!!!! Can I just have those easy days when they were small and I could soothe their troubles by rocking them to sleep...sniff...sniff.... I am so completely bless that God chose me to raise these beautiful kids that are teaching me so much about life and my walk with my heavenly father. That no matter what I seem to do or how I seem to fail so miserably that he just loves me anyway no matter what, just as our children fail we love them just the same. So I am trying to come to terms this week with Tristan getting contacts and a cell phone and this being his last year of football at his school. So what is really the big deal its contacts and a cell phone why is this affecting me so much????? Bryan just keeps saying its going to be OK we will get through this....Thank you God that I have you to help me through all this stuff!!! I just want Tristan to be small again and think that I am the most wonderful thing....but that is what kids do they must grow up and find themselves......but why must this growing be so painful for Mom. I have a friend the other day that posted a saying on facebook that said when your children are small they need you but the older they get the more you need them. That is so true!!So today I cherish that Jaydyn, Myah, and Malachi still think that I hang the moon....and I will settle for the occasional wonderful attention that my teenager gives .........God help me through these years...... Anyone have any suggestions for the struggles we go through as our kids get older????
Have a wonderfully blessed Sunday!!!
