Mother's Day 2007

When I first created my blog, I had to fill out a profile. I thought and thought about what to write about myself and finally came up with what you see when you open up this blog. In the last sentence of the "about me" section, you'll see that I wanted to accomplish something: I wanted to become a Mom.

I don't think you can ever really "accomplish" being a Mother, as if it needed to be checked off a list. Instead, becoming a Mother is a very precious, very sacred gift. It is a dream that I envisioned years ago, a hope that has defined me and a season of my life that I've waited for for so long.

This was my first Mother's Day celebrating myself, and my child. My child.

Thank you, sweet baby Jak, for being my Son. For making me a Mother. For teaching me about a love that is limitless. For being the closest thing to God that I can touch. You are my joy.
