Five years ago today...
...my life changed forever.
...I was 8 days past my "due date"
...I became a mother
...Alana came into this world!
In the last five years...
...I have become more patient than I ever thought possible (still have a ways to go though!)
...I have stopped keeping track of when I last slept in.
...I have realized that sleep deprivation doesn't kill you. (And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.)
...I have learned what love really is.
...my understanding of God's love has deepened.
...I have developed a deep gratitude for the Savior's life, and especially His Atonement.
Alana is becoming such a wonderful young lady! I am grateful to be her mother and for all that she has taught me. I hope as she grows she can understand my love for her, as well as how much God loves her. And I REALLY hope she won't hold my weaknesses against me. As hard as I try to help her develop into the woman God wants her to be, I am far from perfect. I only hope she can rely on the Savior and learn to listen to the Spirit so that she will know that she is doing what God would have her do!
