A Mother's Masterpiece is Her Child

I have always desired artistic talent.  It seemed like the other girls in my class always seemed to have artistic or music skills, and I was the girl in class that would hide her artwork during art class.  I am way beyond that now, but it seemed like I wondered what kind of talents God had given me to use to love, honor, and serve Him. 

"A mother's masterpiece is her child."  

Magdalene Maria

Tobias Joseph

God has blessed Jordan and I tremendously by placing these precious children in our lives.  I may not have artistic or musical talent, but God has given me the special honor of being a mother.  I do not take that responsibility lightly.  Is it overwhelming to have another baby coming soon?  In about a week or so, Jordan and I will have three children to raise all under the age of two and half years old.  Prayer, patience, and trusting God's will has helped in our roles as parents and in the married state.  

When moments become difficult in the coming months learning how to be a mother to three little ones, I will remember my children are my masterpieces.  My paintbrush is prayer.  

Please keep us in your prayers.  We trust in God's plan for our growing family, and we know that He will provide us with the necessary graces to fulfill our duties.
