The busy has been hard for me because since Selah has been born everything has been pretty steady, normal now. This is my life now.
We're finally getting back into the swing of photography, which is great! But to tell you the truth it's been a struggle for me because I simply don't want to spend anytime away from Selah. These past three months I've never been away from her for more than a few hours and now I'm expected to go and photograph a wedding for 8 hours. I give mad props to working mamas! I'm so blessed that I get to stay home with my girl and I will never take it for granted!
I never expected to be so attached to her. Sounds weird, I know because she's my baby. But I thought it wouldn't be a big deal at all to leave her with my mom for a couple of hours so Louis and I could go on a date. When the hubby and I have gone on one these past four months I was thinking and talking about her the whole time. I also thought that I would have her in the church nursery two months after she was born-ha! I'm laughing at how naïve I was. She is four months now and has yet to have been in the nursery without me. I'm working on it though, soon enough. Probably within the next few weeks or so.
The Lord has also been birthing something new in my heart, a dream or vision if you will. I know he placed a desire in me to fight for the unborn-to be their voice. But I haven't done nearly enough. So I'm planning to start volunteering very soon at a place here in Nebraska that helps young pregnant women make the decision to keep their babies. It's really an awesome place! I can't wait to see how The Lord will use me there. More than anything I just want to be His hands and His feet in this messed up world! I pray He would use me to do something big for His kingdom!
So I know that was kind of all over the place but just bear with me! That's been this blog lately...as much as I try to be consistent with writing something always takes me away from finishing a whole post, and when I sit down to write a post it's usually all over the place. For anyone still reading, I love you! Thanks for sticking around. Someday soon I will figure out how to balance this mommy/blogger thing. I'm determined to make it happen. I love writing much too much to stop! :)
The photo at the bottom of your post is so adorable. The lighting is amazing and you both look beautiful. That is sooo awesome that you feel you're supposed to be a voice for the unborn...what a huge call and so important! I'm excited to hear about your time you spend with those women.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute photo! I want to hear more about volunteering with the pregnancy center. I have always wanted to volunteer at a place like that, but it's so hard to find a good time where someone can watch my kids. It's still a goal of mine though, and I'd love to hear about your experience!
