What am I cut out for?

If you look to the right>  it says that I sew...
If you know how to sew you  know what the process is...
If you are like me you like analogies... 

Here is my analogy for the day:

 Before you make a dress, pants, PJ's, skirt, bag, etc  you first know what you're going to make, what you're going to use it for, how you want it to look.
after you have that you need a pattern (or you make a pattern)
using the pattern you cut out the pieces you need.
then you follow instructions and sew here and sew there and then do this and that then ding! you've got a...whatever you were making!

so it is with us! 

before I was made God knew what he wanted me to do and what he wanted to use me for.
he made me with a pattern
and He cut me out.
and did a little of this and that and then
Ding!  I was here. 

here's the catch?  He knows what I was cut out for....  I am still learning

this is what I think:

If I am having a low moment, I cook, clean, sew etc 
If I am having a high moment, I cook, clean, sew etc

what is that? it is the rare makings of a woman who LOVES being a woman, I could totally be a perfect fifties wife!  I LOVE cooking!  I LOVE doing laundry!  I LOVE doing the dishes!  I LOVE taking care of my husbands dirty socks!  I LOVE sewing things!

I feel like I was cut out to be a wife, a homemaker, and a mom!

I LOVE being a wife!  I love talking to my husband, helping him with his work, I love learning from him.  I love telling him the good things that happen each day and I love getting advice for things I am struggling with.  I love it when he leaves his clothes laying around so that I can take care of them.  I love it when he teases me.  I love writing notes to him.  I love talking to him on the phone when I am away.  I love it when he holds me when I cry or when life just isn't right!  I love it when he tells me stories of before we met.  I love it when I can tell were thinking the same thing. I love it when he holds my hand.  

I am a homemaker!  what is a homemaker? no I don't build houses. but yes I make my home!  have you ever thought about the power a woman has over her home!  I set the tone of my home!  If I am sad, mad, upset, blue, then it will rub off on whoever is in my home. mostly my husband.  If I am mad and he leaves to work.  neither of us are gonna have a very good day and those same things are going to be there when he gets back.  on the other hand, the better hand.  If I do all I can to make our home the very best and I have the happy, positive, healthy things about me, then those will rub off on him and he can have a good day at work, with the people he interacts with and I can have a good day at home!
I Love both the physical and non-physical aspects of being a homemaker!  I love vacuuming!  (I have a dyson!) I love sweeping, I love doing laundry and folding socks!  I even make my own laundry soap!  I make really yummy dinners(and even yummy breakfasts and lunches!)  I love making my house pretty and presentable whether I am presenting to my husband after a long day at work. or company, or the neighbor kids coming to borrow a movie.  I love it!  love love love!

I am not a mom yet (in the traditional sense of the word).  I have many children in my life that I hope I can be an example, strength, friend, and "mother" to, and I Love them so much! 
In the mean time while I am waiting for our own children.  I am wondering what God has in store for me?  Am I doing what He wants me to be doing?  Am I doing what I am meant for?  Even if all I want right now is a baby...Am I doing what I need to be doing to be a good mom?  A mom that my babies are proud to come to! 

I found a song that I really like!  It was written about the singers adopted child, but as I was listening to it, it made me realize that I to am meant to be doing what I am doing right now!  I have things to do and I can do them well, and learn to do them well.  I need to focus on my duties right now. 
 
I also must not lose hope and faith that I will have children.  because I will!  that day when  God is ready for me to be a mom then I pray that I have done my job at preparing to be the best mommy I can for them!

here is that song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ksMpwqjXQ
its from a veggies tales movie lol!
my prayer tonight is that I may be content with the life I am meant to be living right now! 
God cut me out and has a plan!  I am so thankful for it!
