As a child, nothing seems more horrible as taking time out of your busy play schedule than to take a nap, especially as age 4 or 5 nears. Then, as college draws near, naps become a bit more tangible, and then, there is being pregnant! Nothing is better than to find even 15 minutes to lay down and just rest, just to feel like you can carry on the rest of the day.
Today, Jovey was having a hard time getting settled for her nap time (she's never been a great napper), so I laid beside her and we both fell asleep finally for a little over an hour. Oh, I could have slept so much longer, but her internal alarm rang out loud and clear, "time to go out and play!" So, even though it was one of those naps where you almost feel worse after the extra zzzzz's, I know that Baby Mac and my body were both super thankful for the extra rest!
. . . who learns more about who God is each day through the beauty and words of her children and the gifts of her husband and beautiful friends!
My Sweet Family
Who Am I?
- Lela Kay
- That's a loaded question. The answer is, I'm not sure, but I do know that it is a continual process and I get excited, frustrated and overjoyed at that process on a daily basis! A few things I DO know: I am a 31 year old mother of two, beautiful girls who has the privilege of being a pastor's wife. I grew up as a pastor's daughter, and never thought it a privilege, but a curse. As I grow in wisdom (not age in years ;-), I have learned that even in the roughest times, it is more than a blessing to be so near to the work that your spouse is engrossed in, all for the sake of Christ and seeing others come to know Him as their Lord and Savior and desire to follow Him more closely. I have the HUGE privilege of staying home with our daughters, Jovey and Laney, and watching most every moment of their young lives unfold before my very eyes. It happens all too quickly and how awesome to be here to be even a small part of their little lives for whom God has great big plans, I am sure!

hmm... maybe it is in the water (although, i am guessing it is just the nice weather) b/c both my kiddos cried for the first ever when I told them it was naptime today. Glad you got in a little snooze... hopefully she will let you steal a few more zzz's before baby sis arrives..
love ya and miss yoU!
Now, if we could just do something about my uncomfortable, sleepless nights spent tossing to find comfortable position and of course, the numerous trips to the bathroom! ha ha! Ahh, the joys of pregnancy! Can't wait to hold this beautiful little lady in my arms instead of on my organs and back nerves. :-)
