Having the opportunity to stay home, watching them grow, nurturing their abilities and empowering them to dream big believing in themselves, and seeing them flourish, and being the soundboard for every milestone in their lives. The most beautiful part are the moments there is stillness and they express how much they appreciate all I do for them...these moments make my heart melt and mean the most. I am thankful for the two beautiful, kind girls God has entrusted to me as a gift. I am blessed!

Being patient and having fun in all seasons and stages, not taking things so seriously, giving grace, being open to change, and not allowing things like the dishes or cleaning get in the way of our time together because one day they will be off to college and have their own families and I will miss the time I missed. So, I stop what I'm doing just to engage, chat, and be fully present at all times.

I would go on another Missions Trip with my girls or as a family, and/or visit our sponsored child in Bolivia and donate $5-7k to the family so they can have a bigger home for their entire family in Bolivia. I'd love to take my girls on an educational trip to Greece and Italy to explore, try different foods and learn about other cultures. I would save the rest to help them either go to college, or build a business that gives back to the community and honors God.
