My heart aches to see my baby become so grown up, but at the same time brims with joy at the sweet young man he is becoming every day.
I knew motherhood would shake my heart and soul up in so many ways, but I never expected the intensity and depth of it all.
It has brought out every fault and weakness in me and amplified it, but has also shown me a strength and love I never knew I was capable of.
Oh, sweet Judah. I love you more than you will ever know, you are an extension of me and an entire new world I don't understand- you are beauty and hope and genuine unrefined life, a sweet reflection of all that really matters in this life.
On the day you were born you brought not just a new title to my name, but a new life and a new meaning. My life was no longer about me, it was a daily giving of self, a sacrifice and a call to be more than comfortable.
You are a gift, my greatest calling, my sweet son who I will always put before myself. You are precious and treasured, you are worth fighting for and worth every single dream and desire I have given up to be your Mama. You are loved.
Happy Birthday, my sweet, joy seeking, strong son- May you seek The Lord with all your heart, serve the weak, love deeply and find joy in every season of your life. I love you.
