sometimes i wonder if i should continue to blog.
i see so many gorgeous artists blogs, photography blogs, decorating blogs, blogs written by 'real writers'. so many talented women that inspire me.
i know i'm not one of those bloggers.
& on some days, i think that maybe i should stop.
& on some days, i think that maybe i should stop.
but then, i get a sweet reminder of exactly why i started simple thoughts in the first place.
my blog is a safe place for me to journal the simple thoughts i have.
the simple moments that make up my life.
a safe place to chronicle our lives.
it's written for me
& it's written for my girls.
& it's written for my girls.
the other morning i woke up & found a note on facebook from my emi.
she's doing a little 30day thing & that day the project was to share something that had inspired you.
so i share this today, not to bring any attention to myself.
& i will blog about this moment,
a profound, yet simple reminder, of the love my sweet emi has
for her daddy & for me.
a profound, yet simple reminder, of the love my sweet emi has
for her daddy & for me.
"i would definitely have to say both of my parents.
my mom has been through a lot especially when my dad died soon after i was born but she never gave up kept courage and now has a new husband. i know we get in arguments sometimes but she will always be the best mom ever and i look up to her because she is a great christian and has been through a lot but never backed down.
i also am very inspired by my dad he has a lot of knowledge. he was a bible teacher for many years and i hope to be like that one day where i am able to lead others to god.
i am so thankful my mom married him because he is the best father ever and i couldn't have asked for anyone better.
i love both of you ♥"
emi is at an age where sometimes we struggle to see eye to eye.
there are days where she misunderstands me
& days where i misunderstand her.
i know some of it is the developmental stage
some of it is just two different personalities trying to work things out,
mother daughter style.
yesterday during my run i prayed especially for our relationship.
that i would be slow to anger
& quick to reconcile.
this curly haired, beautiful brown eyed girl of mine,
she's the spitting image of her daddy gregg.
but her words of wanting to be just like her daddy,
both of whom have been teachers
& both of whom have led many to the lord
makes my heart swell!
& today i'm thankful for this blog,
a medium i can use
to keep moments like this
close to my heart
