Even with the third, it's still like, holy cr*p, can I really do this? But God doesn't give us blessings we can't handle. It will be some of the most striking sanctification as you are called to parent a child, they are such little mirrors revealing our sin. It has taught me to understand joy better, to understand patience, and love, but most of all how my relationship with God the Father has been so much more profoundly revealed and understood through me becoming a parent. Oh, and did I say FUN? Totally the best thing ever. I enjoy so much more of life showing my kids the abundance of what we have been gifted and seeing their joy has reinforced it all the more.
