I never pictured myself with girls.
When I would sit and wonder what my someday family would look like, I never saw girls. I pictured my life full of boys and sports and bugs and trucks. And that would have been wonderful....
But this....this is exactly what my heart was meant for. Girls. I didn't know it until life delivered them to me. But now I know that this is what I always wanted...even when I didn't know I wanted it. Funny how you think you know yourself and then...well, God shows you what He's had up his sleeve all along.
Isaiah 55:8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts. My ways are higher than your ways, declares the Lord."
I grew up without a sister. And while my brother and I are close now, it wasn't always that way. So, when I see the gift that these two share, it baffles me a bit. And I'll admit that I'm slightly jealous. They've got something that is genuinely indescribable.
And this winter, I'm just a tiny bit grateful for the frigid temperatures that drive us all indoors.
Its giving me a chance to really watch these two.
Santa needn't bring me a thing this year.
Without a doubt, this gift of motherhood is the best I could hope for.
And witnessing the blessing of a sister is like daily unwrapping something truly magnificent.
