I still can’t believe that I have a child, much less a growing three month old. Gah! Where does this time go. Everyone says that they grow so quickly and you never grasp that until you holding that sweet baby in your arms.

My heart is so full. Never can I imagine my life without this precious soul. We are laughing now, grabbing our big feet, rolling over from our tummy to our back (and quickly because we don’t so much care for tummy time), and those smiles are constant and contagious. Day after day he changes so much. He listens so carefully, loves bright colors (especially the tv), being outside and is sleeping a full 12 hours most nights.

Being a mother is by far the best role any women can take on. Its so hard yet so fulfilling. Every time I gaze into those sweet eyes my heart cries to be the best example of Jesus I possibly can for him. It’s overwhelming to think this is my job and yet so satisfying to know that God chose me.

My heart mediates on this verse “Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him….” Ephesians 5:2

Elijah Stewart, you made a momma and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m so thankful God knit you in my womb to love to death. May I disciple and steward you to know Jesus more and more… to look to Him and Him alone all the days of your life. Dream big sweet boy because God has great things in store for your life! Run your race with endurance and know the love of Jesus early in your days! I love you to the moon and back again…
