WOW! So last time I did a Monday Meandering, I was just a wife. Now, I am a mommy. I am 11 days into parenthood, and I have to say life is.....challenging.... overwhelming.... beautiful.... fulfilling.... sweet.... super scary... rewarding... take your pick. :) Now that I am healing well, I am slowly getting into a routine and learning the needs of my baby. It's difficult but, then again, ALL the greatest gifts and lessons from the Lord usually are hard on our flesh. But it builds us in spirit. :) With that being said, I love mommy-hood!
Now, on to this week....
Bible Study... Proverbs 31
Memory Verse... Proverbs 31:21
"She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet."
