Time ticks too fast...

I cannot believe that a year can go by so fast.  I know we always say how time flies - but my how time flies even faster as a parent!  And it's not just your precious time, it belongs to your babies too.  As we realize it, we look back and hope and pray that it was spent well.  
As I approach these next few weeks, thinking about the twins first birthday, and trying to plan their party, I have so much happy emotions for the last year of my life.  I feel as though I could not have had time better spent than to take care of my two babies every day for almost a full year.   They are the absolute JOY of my life and getting to be their Mom makes me feel like the luckiest person in the universe!!  But just when you think your job is easy - look around you, it's that way b/c of the people that surround you.  I have SO many of those people!!!!
Without a doubt, this year has been the most humbling, happiest, busiest, challenging-est, tiring-est, and most beautiful year of my life!!!  Josh and I 
 feel like we should start celebrating their birthday now, because we have so much to celebrate about! 
So..this was kind of me just talking/typing....and feeling sentimental :)!!

I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
