New blog and title

This new blog is mostly for me. I feel so blessed to have three healthy children. How did that happen? I love staying at home; it's what I've always wanted to do. I have "good Mommy days" and the "not-so-good Mommy days," the latter of which trouble me greatly.

Especially lately, with my third pregnancy and subsequent birth of Felix, I have noticed a great need to have Heavenly Father as a partner in this thing called parenthood. He is helping me to learn and grow as a mother and person.

I have had a lot of epiphanies lately, I should probably call them revelations, since I know they are from Him. I want to keep a written record of them all in one place. Mostly so I will remember them and so I don't have to rummage through my diary to locate them. (Ha, ha. This is a theoretical diary. My diary is my brain. And now that I'm dumb...I should write these things down. Like sand through a seive.)

The title of this blog "To have a quiver full" relates to Psalms 127:3-5. "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord...Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them."

I definitely feel like I have a quiver full and am learning how to be happy in just about every situation...including those with nail polish.

  5. I think about these things often too. It's horribly cliche to say that it is a blessing to have children, but there is really no other way to describe it. It's the greatest, craziest, most boring, most interesting, most tiring, most emotional, and most deeply fulfilling thing I've ever done. Sometimes I get positively tingly it is so great to be with my very own children. (Sometimes not so tingly...) But no matter how crazy it gets sometimes, I'm always excited to see them again in the morning. What a grand experiment the whole thing is!
