Our conversations:
Hailey: "Mommy, what's your favorite color?"
Me: "Grey, Yellow, and Purple."
Hailey: "Why?"
Me: "Because yellow is like the sun and makes me happy, Grey is beautiful and purple is for princesses."
Hailey: "Why?"
Me: "Because God made it that way."
Hailey: "Why?"
Me: "Because I said so."
Hailey: "Why?"

Well at least my daughter likes to talk to me and lets me talk. Often driving down the road jamming in my mom-mobile my daughter tells me "Mommy turn off the music and talk to me."
Turn off the music and talk to me. As much as those words drive me crazy because my daughter is a chatter box and my only peace and quiet is when she is sleeping or when I have my music on, those words are beautiful. Beautiful because God gave her to me to pour into. Me-being the introvert that I am have a hard time seeing the beauty in those words, but I am starting to see them more and more. One day she might not ask me to talk to her. One day she might ask me to turn the music on. Today I relish in the gift that God gave me, because his will is perfect, and he knows what he is doing. God has a sense of humor and all I can do is laugh and embrace the life that God has given to me.
Here is a quote that was in my email today, which I find is so fitting for the season of life that I am in right now.
