An anniversary

Two years ago today, we became parents. I remember reading about breastfeeding and childbirth and infant care, but we hadn’t read much about parenting in general (with the exception of Wilson’s family series). I’ve been reflecting lately with the bit of hindsight we now possess about how our philosophy of parenting small children was shaped. It ended up being mostly driven by where our biblical interpretations and natural instincts intersected, looking more like attachment parenting than anything else around. Mothering has given me the smallest glimpse into the heart of God, feeling the tender compassion I have for my children and knowing His care about His own is so much greater. It’s been a joyful ride so far, and I look forward to continuing the journey with my capable husband at my side, discussing the ins and outs of everyday life discipling the girls God has graciously given us.
