Six years later, when our daughter was born, I started to hear echoes of those words from all the women who told me to enjoy the time because it goes so quickly. I found that every one of those women knew exactly what they were talking about, as I watched my daughter’s babyhood flash by at warp speed. So I figured that following their words of wisdom would be a really good idea. As a result, in these past years I have soaked in every possible bit of delight that God wanted to bring me in my kids. My awareness of every passing day is made all the more poignant by the fact that I’m a working, traveling mom – and because there are times that I can’t bring them with me on the road, I know there are times when I am missing things. It makes me appreciate all the more the times that I have – and my desire to be extremely purposeful about enjoying them, instead of letting the days slip by and wondering “here did the time go?”

I’ve found it is so vital to be purposeful about our lives as moms, as wives (for those who are married), as workers (in whatever we do) and simply as women. Being purposeful and intentional doesn’t mean taking everything super-seriously, or reading every book on the shelf about parenting or marriage. But it does mean that we glean wisdom wherever we can and take every opportunity to grow into the women God created us to be.
