Blessed & 29!

Well, here I am starting the last year of my 20's. Something about that feels odd. What a blessed year I have had! The biggest blessing was giving birth to my sweet baby boy & getting to be his mama for the past 10 months. What an amazing experience motherhood has been. It was only a couple of years ago that I wondered what God had next for me and He answered that when I found out I was pregnant. I have learned so much about so many things by going through the process of pregnancy & by being a parent. Most of them, I can't even put into words. Being a parent is like nothing else. It triggers emotions that I didn't even know existed. And one of my favorite things is seeing my wonderful husband being such a great daddy. The interaction between Matthew & Alden is priceless. I love being a mama! There are many other things I could mention when glancing back over this past year, like the tragedy of the tornado outbreaks in April or different personal things that went on in my life & the lives of those around me, but I will save those for another time and just end this with a song lyric, like I always do. [I tweaked it just a bit to fit me.] Just the title alone fits so perfect. Well, thanks for reading! See you at 30!

BLESSED
I get kissed by the sun each morning
Put my feet on a [carpet] floor
I get to hear my [child] laughing
Down the hall through the bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my front porch
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

Across a crowded room
I know you know what I'm thinking
By the way I look at you
And when we're lying in the quiet and no words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift

I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day

When I'm singing my [child] to sleep
When I feel you holding me, I know

I've been so blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day

I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed, oh yeah
I have been blessed, oh yeah

I have been blessed
I have been blessed
I have been blessed
