dying to self

man, this must be the toughest test yet... if i hear another "this is the best stage... it goes by so quickly cherish every moment" i am gonna hit somebody...

no, we don't want to cherish every moment of painful crying at 1 am nor do we want to cherish paul's come to jesus moments in my car every night it seems...

this must be what it means to die to self... because to be honest there isn't a day when i don't think or wish i could have things my way and live my life my way or just not have to worry about an infant who depends on me for everything... it's horrible i know but that is what my heart is made of... i'm selfish and the hardest part about being a parent is that i am forced to be selfless... to put others first... to love with no strings attached...
and i guess the redeeming point of all of this is when our son grows up and we can teach him what it means to do all those things...
oh when you get moments like this...peace
