Not Keeping Up

So apparently my inspiration only lasted a short while... To be completely honest (which is always better than just a little honest) I've had no energy to do anything lately. I'm so super lazy and I can't seem to get going on anything let alone finish what I get going on. I'm hoping this is a phase that will pass quickly!
I am amazed at the fact that Samuel's first year of school is almost over!! He has 3 more days of school. How can that be??? And I become that mom that says "Where did the time go?" I will learn to cherish more!! I have always pushed Sam and have expected so much from him and now I see how quickly they grow up and I think I'll start applying the breaks!!
I watched a movie last weekend (which is a super rare occurrence so I'm so glad it was a gooder!), called Gifted Hands. And even though it was a riveting drama it touched my soul like no other movie has. I needed to watch it at the stage that my parenting is at right now. The mother in the movie is the most inspiring mother I've ever seen! She instilled an amazing sense of self worth in her boys that she did not possess. I can't really explain it so if you haven't seen it you should! God has given every child EVERYTHING and I think it's our job as parents to see who they are and to draw out of them what He intended them to use. To show them what imagination is and to show them what potential is. I sometimes feel like I'm in a spectator sport and I'm just watching my kids grow up instead of actively 'growing up' with them.
Wow I have so much changing to do and I want to...and then I think of my lack of energy and I stay on the couch... time to sign off and go play 'restaurant' with my girl.
Hope you have a great day! Know that God's mercies are new EVERY morning.
