Hummm... Have I done any good in the world today.

O.k. so this is what I have been feeling lately. I'm struggling with what should I do, or what do I do, to almost what CAN I do.

I know life is all about time and season so I have a battle going on in my head and heart. Should I be doing more? More of something?

If I died today, what would my accomplishments be? What would the lord be proud of me for?

I checked a friends blog today and she has SO many accomplishments. So much to be proud of. She is so educated, stylish, accomplished, just one amazingly put together woman!

Sure I can throw a great party, but what REAL things would someone be able to say about me.

I see on Facebook that some woman are part of these clubs that serve the community, they are part of pet rescue, that is something I would love to be part of... something that betters other people. Then in the next breath II do have to remind myself I have a baby boy that is turning 2!!!! My Hunter boy, he is my heart and life, he needs me 24/7. So why the battle?

It's a battle for me to figure out my feelings or should I say "put away" these feelings. Do any of you feel this way????

Hummm, Have I done any good in the world today?

I TOTALLY feel like this!! In the end I always come back to this ...

I am the mother of two beautiful children. They were mine in heaven and I was theirs. If raising them is the only thing that I accomplish in life I will be proud of myself.

Oh I can't wait to see you in June :-) You know you can come to the beach with us if you want.

Sometimes I feel like that too, and I have to remind myself that I am a mother! I'm teaching these children so that they can go out in the world as intelligent, compassionate citizens. There's nothing more important that you could be doing than raising those wonderful boys. Go easy on yourself. :)

Michelle and Kira, Thanks ladies! It was so interesting because as soon as I hit send on the computer to post my post the spirit overwhelmingly told me that my purpose was my boys. And that the lord is proud of me for how i'm raising them. It really gave me a greater respect to being a mom. I was just where I needed to be. xoxoxo

I love your comments... you are BOTH two amazing mothers, woman and friends.
