The idea of making a blog has been one since earlier this year. Originally it was to be about daily walk of being a wife and mother. But that idea has become so much more. God had some very special plans for my life as a mom to my very sweet little girl. I will call her Sweet Pea (SP for short) for her sake of privacy, and mine. We have wondered up the path that is what society would say isn't typical. Our journey consists of seeing a Pediatrics Neurologist, Physical therapy, and soon to be Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. Because SP is GDD (Globally Developmentally Delayed) and Hyptonia (Low Muscle Tone), we are walking a journey that is not only physically and mentally challenging for SP, but emotionally challenging for her father and I. But Psalm 139, states that God knitted us all in the womb. And so I believe that this is God's special plan for our lives, whatever that may be, and that He is working out something grand. I had an easy picture in my head of how motherhood would be while pregnant as silly as it sounds. Just like some have idealistic dreams about marriage crushed, I have had dreams of a idealistic view of myself as a mom. I am working it out with God, swimming daily through his grace. This is what this blog is about. Being public about my struggles as well as the joy of happy moments in hopes that it brings support to someone who may need it just as I have. God is stretching me, and refining me in this journey as much as He is molding SP. I hope to be able to reflect on that here.
