I copped out and didn't do the devotion exercise, so I'm especially glad you shared yours. It was such a blessing to meet you and the other writers at the conference. I'm looking forward to reading future postings. Susie Mary - What a sweet devotion. I especially enjoyed the backstory.

Remember all the older ladies telling us that time would fly faster each year and to treasure the moments? They were right. Sometimes I wish I was back in that first year of motherhood...how could it have been so long ago! Sorry you got cut off, Leticia…but I know what you mean.

What a treat to hear from you all...you're right, Corrie, those hugs are the best! When I arrived home last night, my toddler was already asleep, but this morning when she woke up and saw that I was home she just burst out with "Mommy! You're HOME!" and major hug-time! Crystal--it was a spiritual retreat for me also...and I feel that the past two weeks I've really been nudged by God in preparation for it! For instance, I've had the song, "Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord" just running through my head constantly and dh and I have been watching some really powerful devotional dvds together, all in all, a lot of things have been confirmed for me, culminating at the conference. And today's sermon--wow! Safe to say I've had a really awesome weekend! Jen--I know exactly what you mean! There is nothing like that first haircut--esp. for boys--that takes the baby out of them. :( I'll never forget my nephews darling curls...and how grown up they were after that first haircut. Thanks so much for commenting! Wow! What a treat to hear from you all…you’re right, Corrie, those hugs are the best!

My boy's steel blue eyes seemed to just know more when they met mine, as I walked in the door. My daughter's blue eyes seemed deeper, as did her dimples. Oh for the joy of "I-missed-you-so-much" hugs! As much as the time apart is a sorrow, the joy of the reunion is worth it! Do they grow more when we’re gone?

He was a little boy. In a flash of an eye a snip snip snap of scissors he was transformed into a little boy. Later I reflected on the fact that under his hair with soft baby curls he had been that little boy for sometime I just hadnt noticed.

I was so excited to get home and see my kiddos. It was a great conference, but I just wanted to get home. And I think your seven minute devotion is great...and oh so, true. In fact this writing conference was also a spiritual retreat for me. It allowed me to forget about how "busy" I am and just seek His will. Mary,
