Spin with me Mommy...

I have had tunnel vision lately in the worst way. It has brought me frustration, self-doubt, tears, and anger, however, God gently and lovingly pulled up a magnifying glass to my eyes and showed me in the little moments this weekend, where my focus should truly be. I am a nurturer, a Momma, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I am human and make mistakes. I am a student still learning about life.
When my oldest says, 'spin with me Mommy,' as her eyes are closed and face up to the sky, I think to myself, I wish I had the free-spirit she has. It constantly amazes me how my 3 1/2 year old little girl can teach me so much about life in a simple twirl in the front yard. Or when she says, 'Can you just come sit with me Momma.?' She doesn't want some of me, she wants all of me. Isn't this so true of our Heavenly Father.? He wants all of our heart, mind, soul, and body. Not half, not 3/4, but all of it.
Honestly, I can say that hasn't been the case lately. Have you ever gotten stuck on the 'me' syndrome temporarily? Not a pretty sight, nor curable on your own energy. It takes the love of a Father to open your eyes to see the wonder, amazement, and breathtaking beauty in both the scenarios that surround your everyday life, and also in those big innocent eyes of your child. If we let it, the world will rub it's ugliness off on us and toss us aside, but if we cling to the pureness and truth that we have in our Savior, we will never be seeking a cure to fill the void. Here's to dancing through life one twirl at a time!
