Project 52:12 | Footsteps
They follow our every move. Literally.
Babies constantly under my feet.
But its more than that.
They are always watching. Observing. Taking it all in.
They follow our footsteps.
So I want the ones I take to be worthy of such significance.
I see this most with my son and husband. Eli is so much like his dad it amazes me. He follows him around and just soaks up everything he does. He loves all things boy. Airplanes, motorcycles, basketball, football, any kind of ball. All the things his daddy loves. It is amazing how he see things I don’t even notice. Watching him learn and take it all in makes me realize the importance of my actions. He sees all that I do. And right now he wants to be just like his parents. He wants to follow our footsteps. I am realizing more and more how important it is to make sure the things I do, what I say, and how I spend my time are reflecting the morals and values I want to instill in my children. I don’t take this job of parenting lightly. As moms and dads we are paving the pathway for who are children will be. This can be a very heavy reality if you let it. But I know it’s not all on my shoulders. I am thankful for God’s grace in my short comings and I am proclaiming Proverbs 22:6 over my children.
“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Normally Project 52 is only one photo. But I wanted to share these two below. I am pondering the idea of printing both of these with the above verse to display in my home as a reminder.
Above: Eli and daddy.
Below: Sawyer and mama.
