30, Really??

So, we were driving down the highway on my 30th birthday listening to, "Keep Changing the World." The lyrics of this song talk about how there is a problem in our world because there are children without homes and not enough people are willing to do anything about it. Antaun looks over at me only to see tears streaming down my face, this was followed by two children in the back, "why is mommy crying, what's wrong with mommy?" over and over. Daddy's confused response was, "I don't know" over and over!!!

It was one of those moments for me when I thought about my life at the age of 30 and realized my life is exactly how I dreamed it would be one day. A handsome husband who I can sing with, a beautiful daughter that I can put those little poof balls in her hair like I always wanted too, a fun little boy who I can hear say, "Mommy I want a kiss." And another little life on the way...I get to carry another miracle inside of me.

Not only that but Antaun and I are living what we dreamed about together back in college. We live with hurting kids who don't have a mom and a dad. The other day one of our 10 year old girls couldn't believe Antaun was rubbing my feet, she has truly never seen a man and a woman show love to each other. Every night when we tuck in the 3 year old little boy, he says, "Jesus, mommy or daddy" (depending on who it is) that means sing Jesus loves me!

My heavenly Father has been so faithful to bless and give me the desires of my heart and for that I am so grateful.
