Faith.Family.Fitness: Precious Moments

Hello Friends! I just wanted to take a few moments to share with you all about my Precious Moments. And those are my children. I have 3. Two boys and my special girl. You should know that my husband is a Navy Recruiter and he works MAD hours. He leaves the house at 8 and comes home around 8pm. So I'm pretty much a "single mom" 90% of the time. It's fine. I'm used to it. You should also know that I'm a Beachbody Coach. I spend a lot of time working and growing my business and I plan to attend Augusta State University this Spring semester. I AM A BUSY PERSON! It's fine. I'm used to it. lol.

Ok, so what moments has been so precious these past few days? My kids adore the crap out of me! I'm not your typical fun-loving Mommy. I'm strict and can be harsh at times. I'm not too affectionate only when I want to be. Sad, I know. My kids don't even try to come close to Mommy cuz they know I'm busy whether it's cleaning, working out, cooking or whatever. They know to stay out of my way.

Well lately, they have tore down my barrier and they are just smothering the crap out of me. At first I would get upset because there is stuff that I need to get done! But 3 against 1 is working in their favor. My baby Brody LOVES to cuddle and so does Alyssa. Yesterday I was getting my daily reading done. I usually aim for 10 pages a day of any motivational book. While I was reading, my daughter snuggled up next to me and fell asleep. She never does that or at least I would never let that happen. If she naps now what time will she go to bed? Anyhow, as I lay there with my baby girl I was in awe of her. I can't believe how much she has grown. I stared at her for almost 2 hours. I could have napped too but it's not in my nature to. I could have got up and got some cleaning done or worked on my business or even get my daily workout in. But I didn't. I decided to enjoy that moment with my baby girl and hold on to her small body for as long as I could.

Any other day I would have thought of it as 2 hours wasted of my day. But recently it just seems to clear to me. Although God has revealed my purpose in life, which is to Lead people to Christ through fitness, I have to remember the biggest challenge and blessing he gave me before I even started my own business. And that is my duties as a MOTHER. If it weren't for these babies I certainly would not have the determination to get Fit and healthy. I wanted to do all this for them in the first place. If it weren't for my kids then I wouldn't have the motivation to go to college. If it weren't for them then I would not have the ambition to truly succeed as a Beachbody Coach.

If it were not for you God, I would not be able to enjoy Your Precious Moments in life. I'm thankful for all that you give to me. I am a blessed girl. I thank you for Your 3 lil Angels that remind me how very much You are ALIVE and I am so honored that I get to enjoy your presence/presents everyday!
