If I Could…

February 5, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom Leave a Comment

As I was laying in the bed with Reynolds tonight, I thought to myself: If I could stay here forever, snuggling with and tickling you, I would.  As a mom, the best sound in the world is the sweet voice of your child.  Giggling and belly laughing.   Saying “No, Mama no!!” and then “Gen!!” {for “again”} because the tickling is just too good to stop.

He rolled around pretending to snore, saying “‘Tay” {for “stay”} when I tried to leave.  And then when I said, “Reynolds, Momma loves you” he said “Uh-huh”…just like a boy would.

He steals my heart.

If I could keep him this age….

Then I remembered a book that we have.  I don’t remember who gave it to us, but it’s a sweet little read.  Entitled, “If I Could Keep You Little…”If I could

In those moments I remembered some of the words, “If I could keep you little, I’d hold your hand everywhere.  But then I’d miss you knowing, I can go…you stay there.” and “If I could keep you little, I’d keep you close to me. But then I’d miss you growing into who you’re meant to be!”

Yes, it tugged at my heart strings for just a moment…he won’t be small forever.  Almost two years have completely flown by.  My baby talks like crazy and has a great personality and I stand in amazement of him everyday of the things he says, does and remembers.  He is so stinking smart!

He will be all grown up before I know it.

So then I wondered…would I really?  If I could…

If I could make time stand still for just a few moments…..maybe I would….

A couple of love notes for today...forwherever you A couple of love notes for today...forwherever you are - taken from my #takecourage Bible study:
💌You are God's valued temple.
💌When you are filled with Jesus, you are filled with God's glory!
💌Your beautiful face reflects the glory of the Lord living inside you.

Feeling empty? Ask Him to fill you to the brim today.😘💗

I pre-ordered this book by @christynockels sometime last year when I first heard about it. "I HAVE TO HAVE IT", I remember thinking to myself. I've been a fan of Christy for many years...going back to her Passion Conference and Watermark days...💯

Y'all, I've not even gotten past the intro yet. ♥️🥰

This. I have all the thoughts and emotions...striving and being tuckered from the striving and then feeling small because I left behind that which made me strive so hard...and somehow provided misconstrued worth.😩

Excited to dive into the rest of this *very* #goodbook 🙌

From my #blogpost today...I scroll social media {t From my #blogpost today...I scroll social media {that trap of all comparison traps} and see someone’s house, possessions, look/appearance, etc. and find myself in despair over being “nothing like” them or what they have.
(Anyone else? 🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️)
I feel self-conscious can become discouraged and even fall into despair. How about you?

A quote from my Bible study book was a precious reminder this morning: Using someone else’s gifts or calling is a crooked measuring stick.

Do you have a crooked measuring stick like me?

As we sat there chatting...I put my phone away after taking some initial photos😉, I realized how much he has grown up.  And I prayed as we talked that time would slow down just a little...
