being a mom

In all the things I do, I like being a mom most. I like being a mom active in my daughter's lives especially.

We went to see a concert last night at Southpointe. Decypher Down (whoever they are), Fireflight (soon to be a new favorite), Disciple (ah-whatever) and Family Force Five (woo hoo- this is the 2nd time I've seen them).

The concert was great, the kids decided that they wanted to wait for autographs, no autographs until Disciple was done. No offense to Disciple, but for crying out loud, they were really good but I was REALLY tired, and it didn't seem like they were ever going to finish. I was pacing because I was afraid that if I sat down, I was going to be out like a light. They got their autographs, and they even signed my CD - "your a cool mom". Yeah, I know :)

My daughter and her friend and Alexis Card chatted the whole way home. It was great. And I am glad I didn't miss it. Sometimes I get tired of driving everywhere, but usually god revives me in their energy (someone who was in desperate need of glasses last night thought I was 22). I know that someday, my daughter will look back, and she will know that I just didn't tell her I loved her, I showed her. And that is the best gift I will ever give her.
