Baby Steps~

Brynlee has started walking. This is exciting but in the same breath sad. My baby isn't a baby anymore. Let me guess, I'm not the only mom in the world who has had that feeling. One day you are anticipating their arrival and you blink and they start school, go off to college and someday married. I'm not trying to get ahead of myself by an means. Brynlee is just walking not walking down the aisle but sometimes life just goes so quickly.

As a mother I finally somewhat understand when God talks about time being like a blink of an eye. Life goes so quickly. Watching her walk across the room makes me stop and think. Am I stopping to take notice of everything around me or so busy that a week, month or even years have passed before stopping to take things in? As she walks, she is careful. She's mindful of every step she takes. She doesn't run. If she gets in to big of a hurry and doesn't take her time she falls. Aren't we all like that in someway? We sometimes get ahead of ourselves and take off to fast. Sometimes it is when we take on to much or are to tired. Sometimes we don't even realize we are trying to run instead of walk slowly and carefully, mindful or every step.

As I said in a previous post I had some goals this year. One of them was to live for today. Maybe watching those baby steps is a reminder to take those small steps towards a goal. Knowing that kids grow everyday, makes me realize how important this goal is. Tomorrow will worry about its self and we can't change yesterday. What are we left with? Today! Praise the Lord I have been given another day on this Earth. Maybe small mindful steps are what is needed to get to this goal. 

Live for today~ You are the only you the world will meet so make the most of you and share your goodness with those around you.
