Dear Kids,
I haven't had a chance to write about my experience with going to Kalea's house to help with her twins.
I was really worried before getting there that I would have enough energy for it all. I have been struggling, my body is going through lots of changes, and I was worried. But as soon as I got there, I was able to give my whole heart and soul to being there.I was able to be up with the babies night after night so Kalea could sleep a little bit.
I was able to make weeks worth of food for them in their freezer.
I was able to put together a schedule for Kalea to help her feel more organized in her head.
I was able to deep clean their kitchen and deep clean their master bedroom.
I was able to have really good Aunt Andi time with her kids (that I really enjoyed by the way, that was fun - usually Aunt time is surrounded by cousins, it was nice to have the quality time to create bonds).
The day before I left I was sitting down at the table having a late lunch and I just was praying to the Lord and thanking Him for my energy and ability while I was there.
Then Mimi and Shayla were right there with me and they said, "we've been here helping you."
I just started bawling. It was beautiful. I really was able to get the work done of 3 people, and it was evident that they had been there to help. I am so grateful. I told Kalea that too, and she just started crying, she told me, "I've been wanting to feel them more and I haven't been able to. I am so glad you told me."
Kids, ANYTIME you can do service IT IS WORTH IT EVERY TIME. I'm so glad I went and did that service for their family. It was worth it, everything I had to figure out in order to go and be there, it was worth it all.
I love you,
Your Mom
