Testing

We now have this wonderful addition to our lives, his name is James Lucas Rowlett. What a blessing he has been, and staying at home with my baby. what a wonderful experience.

I can't believe all I missed out on with Blaine. All those smiles and milestones. What a blessing the Lord has given me, being able to be at home with him. I have Lucas here at home with me, I must say he is spoiled, and then I have Blaine.

Blaine, makes me laugh. Oh the things that come out of his mouth. Just the other day we were watching a movie, a kids movie, on TV and all of a sudden he stands up and says, "SH**." I said, "what did you just say?" and he says it again. Thinking I must have mistakenly heard him twice I ask him one more time, and sure enough I heard him correctly. So I look at him and say, "You know that we don't talk like that, so next time I hear you say that you are going to be in big trouble." he looks at me and says, "OK."obviously he was testing the waters, and I have learned that the age five is all about testing those waters. I just pray the Lord gives me the patients to deal with those test.

Don't you think it's funny how as mothers and fathers we get to see through our children what the Lord must feel towards us. The testing of waters, do we not test God every day. Continually doing what he has told us not to. I continually feel as though God gave me my children to draw me closer to him, to teach me of his unconditional love, and show me how he also teaches me through discipline.
