His grace is enough.

Halloween 2012 Candy Corn

You know what?
Sometimes I get stressed out, worked up, anxious, worried.
I fret about the unknown & I bury myself in busyness as a distraction. (Yes, busy-ness not business... Is that a thing?)
Sometimes I fail majorly.
Then I peek around the corner and I see a precious, tiny girl in a candy corn costume "cleaning" a suitcase with her washcloth and spray bottle. 
And I get it.
Once again I'm reminded in the sweetest & yet most obvious way possible.
His grace is enough.
I could never deserve to be her mom.
I've never earned such a beautiful blessing.
But she is my blessing anyway, & I've been entrusted with the terrifying task of guiding her as she becomes her own woman.
It's a hard, scary, unpredictable job.
A job I'm nowhere near qualified for in my opinion.
Every single day I will fall short.
Every single day He won't. 
And that is the best news, friends.

(ps I know the quality of that picture leaves something to be desired... I think my cell phone might be from 1998ish and I forgot to take any pictures with the real camera. Such is life.)

Linking up with my buds Carina & Amanda because I'm so thankful for & inspired by His grace!

  3. She is so beautiful Ash. And she looks so much like you as a toddler in that picture. That is the closest I have seen and I see you 100% in that photo. Thank you for sharing my sweet girl. Hey if I can raise you to be the beautiful and capable woman you are then you will do just as well and probably a whole lot better. God is so Good!!!
