you forget to get dressed in the morning.
I made it all the way to a baby shower in Bowie before I realized I was in shorts and a ratty t-shirt.
So classy.

ramblings
Nothing makes you appreciate time like having a baby.
You get less than 9 months to enjoy time with you and your spouse. Before you know everything is going to change.
The time it takes to get through one intense contraction, can feel like a life time.
I never appreciated sleep like I do now. Pretty sure I was asleep BEFORE 9pm last night.
Having time to not just take a shower, but wash one's hair and you can forget about shaved legs.
Mascara? Thats something singles wear.
Forget having the time to go to places like Chipotle, Panera, or any place without a drive through.
I can't even work as long as I'd like to in the office because of child care. So I spend a lot of nights working from home, once JT is down.
The average span of a life time is 3,744 weeks. From birth to age 18 is just 936 weeks.
936
936
That's it. That's all. That's all I get.
Every moment counts. Every smile, and so does every tear.
And when he gets older, so will every prayer. Every chance to share The Gospel. Every teaching moment, to respond in love and grace.
I couldn't imagine trying to spend these next 936 weeks without being in dedicated prayer. Not only is raising a child a literal matter of life and death, but also eternal life and death.
Time. We only get so much time to make a difference. To teach them about Jesus and the fact that he died so we could live. The fact that he was perfect and yet still died for OUR crap. Because THAT is the only the that matters.
I pray I use my time wisely.
I pray you will also.
I know absolutely nothing about parenting. But I know I can't do it without Christ.
Thats all for now
