If your not sure

[if your are not sure if you mom loves you, think again.
if you are questioning if the words you are saying to her are hurting her, reassess how you treat her.
and if you don't think that pushing her away makes her heart break, try and draw near.
A mothers love is so incredible and pure, and the roller coaster of emotions and roles in their children's' lives is sure to take a toll on them in some way. Can we as children try and make it just a bit easier on them?]

*New life is so precious and such a gift! There is a new Dittrich in the world and he is incredibly healthy even though there were some huge concerns along the way. But...prayers were answered and God had it all planned out for his little one :) Good thing we were faithful!

*Lately, I have really started to actually ENJOY completely intertwining my life with my husband. I feel like we are slowly working through some of the kinks and getting into the swing of things with this thing called marriage. Yes, its always tough and the concept that one CHOOSES to not only live their own life to the fullest but meshes with someone else's life as well is...well...kinda nuts! We are such selfish beings and it takes a lot of effort and training to stop living for ourselves but equally (if not more) live to serve, please, and LOVE every aspect of another person. However, companionship in marriage is irriplacable :)

Off to another "normal" week, except for the fact that Sam's Jr. High student ministry kicks off on Wed. :) So excited!!!
