Deny thyself…take up your diaper bag
April 30, 2009
The past couple of months have been so fun, busy and new. My interests are changing everyday – I’m literally evolving into a new creature – A MOMMY…
This transformation is bringing a new “denial of self” that the new testament talks about so often. No longer am I making decisions based on my selfish desires (well…sometimes I do), but now, each decision is made in light of the tiny life inside of me. What to eat, when to sleep, what to spend (or not spend) money on…
If I can change my behaviors and lay down my own desires for this child I don’t even really know yet, how much more should I abandon my fleshly desires in light of the SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE that lives inside of me?
I wonder what else this little child will teach me about my savior, my salvation, and my calling.

I haven’t read blogs in the past few months here, and I absolutely love reading these ones! And between you and me, if your blog turned into a mom blog, I’d still read it. I’m so excited for you!! I don’t think you quite understand the severity of this excitement…

Acutally, you probably do, because you’re the one actually with the baby… but you understand what I mean right?
