I rocked and sang Dawson to sleep this afternoon. I don't do that often, only because I've heard to "lay him down when he's drowsy so he learns how to fall asleep on his own". Today is one of those days that I don't care. It doesn't matter to me, today, if I have to rock him to sleep until he's a year old. These feelings change daily, especially when I'm overcome with exhaustion from still getting up several times through the night to feed him. Despite how frustrated I get with my boys and how needy/whiny/demanding they can be, I am so incredibly blessed and thankful to be their Mommy. Who am I, that God would choose me, out of all other women, to be a MOTHER to these two precious little boys? They are growing so fast right before my eyes and I'm trying to soak up every second of it. I still have those moments, where I'm just in awe and disbelief of the fact that I, Alyssa Mae Krause, carried and birthed these two human beings. The love of a mother is unbelievably amazing.
Secondly, after years and years of praying, Jon and I have finally found the friends we've been praying for! There is no denying that our friendship is an answered prayer straight from God. I am so thankful and relieved to finally feel fulfilled in that part of our lives.
Thank you, God, for my beautiful little boys and our beautiful new friends.

I pray daily for my kids, their spouses and my granbabies. One prayer specifically uttered for you and Jon has been "that God would give you friends who follow Jesus, that you may grow together as you challenge one another to be (live and love) like Jesus." I know family is important, but friends are vital, too! God is so awesome! Must be His perfect timing... luvluv
