Last night Logan said "I love you" for the first time ever.
Those were the sweetest little words I've ever heard, in my whole life. \
Logan,
As I always say, "Mommy loves you to the moon and back, and more than chocolate ice cream!" More than anything in my whole life.

Steven Furtick says it so well
Grace is power.Power to save. Power to live right. Power to talk right. Power to walk right. Power to give. Power to forgive. Power to do anything God calls you to do in His name. Power to pray. Power to overcome.
Paul could have lived in perpetual guilt for what he had done. Or he could have taken advantage of what God had done for him. But he didn’t. And look at what he became.
You have the same options.
Embrace the power of God’s grace and imagine what you’ll become.

the grace factor
Logan will only be little this one time..and I have come to realize this "time" is far too short as he grows so fast. I believe wholeheartedly that the new level of patience and selflessness I have learned through mothering Logan has grown me into more of a woman that I'm designed to be. I just hope I don't lose sight of this amazing privelage that only I have been granted, to be Logans Mom.
I have had to remind myself of this more lately than ever before, as he has been off of his normal sleep schedule (waking me up at 3 am), eating the dogfood, and testing his boundaries at the blink of my eyes. I have to remind myself "He's only little this one time... he's only one year old this one year." As my dear friend says often, "This is a season." It's not permenant.(Thankfully!)
I believe that parenting GRACEFULLY is a choice we have to make, daily. It's something I have to constantly be reminded of, the grace factor. I will choose to love gracefully, because I love Logan more than I love myself. Because I want to give him the very best of me, and I want him to see those qualities in me, grace, compassion, mercy, tenderness.
Thankful for the little boy, that makes me constantly yearn to be a better woman... Logan Pierce.

HAPPY New Year!
I used to sometimes look at other friends/families with tear filled eyes and think to myself " What a great family- what a wonderful man she has at her side to help her with the every day tasks that children bring,even to help carry groceries or prepare a meal. To comfort her, encourage and love on her,," and that list goes on. Today my perspective is different as I rest assured that I am partnering with the Jehovah-Jireh, the ultimate Provider! The Keeper of the Stars.
As I think back over the last 12 months and ALL the many blessings, I am overwhelmed. To all of you who have gone above and beyond and helped Logan and I out of your great generosity, I thank you! Whether it was a free car repair, gifts, helping to have my A/C fixed in the middle of our HOT Texas summer , I thank you. Offering to babysit Logan when I needed a (reliable) sitter at the last minute. Whether it was that much needed phone call, email, text,card,surprise, to lift my spirit- you know who you are and I thank you. Those motivating and encouraging conversations that push me, challenge me, and renew my strength, I thank you. For the "sisters" who have taught me to see things that seem bitter, as sweet- I'm thankful for you and the words of life you've spoken into mine. I'm thankful for my family, friends, and my "other family", Gods Church. I'm thankful for the support system that God Himself has provided and I don't take one single relationship for granted.
God has proven to me that He will not give us trials, circumstances, that we cannot endure, persevere, and conquer.
With Him, we can do anything! What a great year it has been!
Happy New Year to all of you and your families!
We love you!
