Big shoes to fill



My daughter has been tucking her shoes and sandals into mine. After asking her why she does this, she just said, "I want to be like you, Mommy"...

As honoured as I am, the idea of raising my children can be overwhelming, not to mention teaching them to be loving, accepting and gracious can be a little, er...I mean A LOT scary. But I am so thankful that I am not doing it alone. I am doing my best to walk in my Father's footsteps, and as I depend on Him, I have faith that He will carry both of us on this huge learning curve!

It is a daunting task, but with God, anything is possible. It's amazing to be entrusted with his lil' angels.

Isn't that also a great symbol of God and how He wants us right beside Him every step of the way so that He can guide us and lead us....
