Driving home from a Halloween Party tonight, my husband and I had some real adult conversation. We get bogged down in the day to day life of working parenthood and swim lessons, dinosaur school, etc., we sometimes forget about the big picture, and even when we think about it, we rarely talk about it anymore.
Mainly because, it's scary.
I have a handful of fears in my life in regards to my kids. I may not be ready to share those, but they're still there. Sometimes when I think about the big picture of our life, I wonder how I ever made it here. I wonder how we survived it all and became the strong family we are today. I am proud of what we've accomplished, but I looking at the big picture always takes me back to those fears I hold hidden within myself.
I have worries in my motherhood, that I hope there are very few others who experience, not because I don't long for people to connect to, but because I pray that other families don't have to have the same path to happiness and love. So tonight, I set and reflect on our life so far and the challenges we have to face. I pray that no matter where life may take our family, I lead by example. I trust that God is with all of us each day helping us make the right decisions today, tomorrow, and the next, and 40 years from now.
