I am truly blessed in every sense of the word. I have a great job with amazing coworkers. I have a supportive and truly loving family. I have a beautiful home filled with love. I have dependable transportation. I have food to feed my family.

I have always been blessed.

But there are two things in my life that are worth everything to me. They are worth every emotion, every inconvenience, every late night. They are worth the pain required to bring them here. They call me mama.

Once upon a time, we were not sure if we would be blessed with children. It was through loads of appointments, rounds of shots, the support of family and friends, numerous ultrasounds, and the kindness and support of a few amazing doctors that we found luck in bringing two beautiful little boys into this world.

These two little angels test the boundaries of my tolerance and understanding. They bring a new perception to most things I thought I had perfected. They teach me just how much love the human heart is capable of.

They love me, despite the faults I have. They are patient with me through my learning. They know exactly how much I need them and are not afraid to let me know they need me as well.

They give me light in darkness. Hope in hoplessness... and they show me just how much the Lord trusts me.

I am forever grateful that the Lord chose me to be their mama. I pray nightly that He help me raise them and allows me to see them grow into men bearing His likeness.

They are my life. They are my heart. They are my very soul.
