Treasured Moments


I got to thinking about my life.
I started thinking about how much fun it is to live in such a large family
Then I began thinking about how when/if I get married, I'm going to miss these days! 
I'm going to miss all the fun that comes with living in a large family and the unique situation that I have to grow spiritually and learn all the fun stuff that I'm learning without all the pressures and stress that comes with having a home of my own.

I came to realize that these moments that I'm living right now are once in a lifetime moments. When/if I get married someday, my whole world will change. My days with my beautiful large family will be over and I'll be starting a new life.

decided to change the name of my blog to Breathe Deep (moments like these are treasures to keep) first of all because I love Guy Penrod's song "Breathe Deep" but also because I want to take in every single moment that I have as a Pauls girl. 
God has given me each breath and I want to breathe em' deep because I don't want to take any moment for granted.

And that is the reason that I have this blog, to capture all the moments that would otherwise be forgotten.

Every single moment is a gift, a treasure.  


It's what I do with these moments that will count for a lifetime.

wow. This is soo true. Life is way to short and I will breathe deep and try to capture as many moments as I can. You are such wise young women and are blessed to realize this at such a young age.
