I go through a lot of waves of writers block and not showing up around here. But this was something I wanted to document for myself. Little reminders of this season to look back on later.

The other day I was driving with my 2 year old. She was talking away in the back seat like a grown human. As she normally does she said “hey mommy?!” And I replied saying “yes, baby?” and the next things she said really made my mama heart melt. “I want to be like you!” Cue my heart melting.

In the midst of my driving this sweet little phrase really took my heart on a sweet roller coaster. Now I know she is 2 and maybe tomorrow she will want to be like Peppa Pig but her words really were a sweet blessing from Jesus.

A lot of the time I put a ton of pressure on myself. Pressure because I love her and my husband and I just want to do my best. But often I’m left thinking that my house is a mess, my laundry isn’t done and have I done enough activities for her? But this sweet moment really got me thinking.

This is such a sweet season of her life because she doesn’t see the stuff I see. She just sees me and she loves me for that. She sees a mama who loves her and cares about her. She doesn’t care about the other stuff, just her mama. It is the sweetest kind of love.

I know one day she will see some of the sticky parts of me. But I pray that when she does she can see how much I need Jesus. That I can point her to 2 Corinthians 12:9 and she can see that His grace is enough.
