Rachel can sometimes care less if she's being heard - she likes talking to herself 1/2 the time. But Ethan and I really struggle with this. So that verse was on my fridge a few days ago so I could see it every time I walked past. <br><br>God has been teaching me SO much these days - so much of letting go of what used to seem so important (like staying obsessively on top of housework) and just enjoying these young moments with my kids. They'll pass far too quickly. <br><br>Thanks for the post!
