There was a time when heights weren’t an issue. Not frightening. Then a certain little boy with no sense of caution entered our household.

  1. Oh where does one begin with the changes?!? lol I am the most cautious driver now, where I was very careless before (my mother recounted this to me yesterday.) Though the biggest most drastic change is the new found faith our family is growing in. Through MoPs I connected with other mom’s and I realised I wanted to be more Graceful and man what a calming and exciting change that is!

    • I am SO with you on that. Definitely helps you realize that you not only want to receive grace, but it is so important to extend it as well. :)

    Thank you for putting every Mom’s feelings so well. The photo is gorgeous. Obviously, close your home. The mountains are amazing.
    Every time I try to write how being a Mom has changed me, the tears begin, No matter the age, yours or theirs, your children hold your heart, your thoughts, your prayers. I remember the velvet touch of young skin, the warm cuddles, the laughter and squeals of delight as they run to greet you, the gentleness of care and love they bring, the absolute joy, blessing, and gratitude I raise to God everyday for creating these wonderful beings, and choosing me as their Mom.

  3. I have been struggling with some of the glaring character problems I see in Sammy coming from myself! Lots of prayer and and asking for forgiveness!

  4. Being a mom of several special needs children will definitely change you. I have learned to be more compassionate, flexible and patient(still working on this one). My children have also taught me by their example about unconditional love, perseverance and acceptance. Even when there are rough days(and sometimes it seems like there a lot); I would never change my life. Being their mom is the most rewarding experience I could ever hope for. They are my life, my treasure; and I thank God for making them who they are and what they will one day become(faithful children of the King). Love you G, A, D and M.

    • Several of the folks we are in homegroup with have children with special needs. Having known them all for years, the perseverance alone through so many ups and downs is such an amazing example to each of us. I am so very grateful that we are able to be a part of their lives in some small way, because it truly is a blessing! Praying for you and your family, Becky and the FULL blessings that God has for you all!

    I’m not sure I can state where the changes started. I’m certainly doing different things in my life than I though I would do. I’m putting myself out there and learning how to do things for my girls and working on things I never thought I would. It has made me learn and grow in so many ways. I’m also humble more about things than before.
