...no, not the kind that is the guide to being a mommy, God is still showing me the way on that one, for which I am am thankful because we would be in trouble if I was on my own!
What I mean is that you only have to look at my Bible to know I am a mom.
If the stickers stashed in there did not give it away, some other things might....
....like the pages that Miss Pear crinkled in her little hands when she was too little to know how to flip but loved the crinkle pages.
....like the crinkled pages from when I could keep Miss Pear occupied for a long time by just letting her flip through my Bible to feel and hear the pages.
....like the page in Hebrews that sports a huge pen mark across it and part of the next page, also courtesy of Miss Pear.
....or like Baby's addition yesterday when in her excitement of discovering the crinkly pages (I don't use my study Bible to read to the girls, I use a NIrV Bible, so simpler, but still a full on Bible without the crinkly pages). Baby's addition was to almost rip out half a page of Genesis. I lovingly taped it back in while assuring her that while it is great to get excited about God's Word, when we talk about digesting God's Word we don't mean literally, so please don't pull the pages out....

I can relate! My Bible is missing Genesis 1 and a goodly portion of the index thanks to my industrious little boy.
The picture I am envisioning of your "mommy Bible" warms my heart. Only because it is an indication that you are getting your girls to the most important place of all right from the very beginning... in God's Word!
I will always save my current Bible because of the missing concordance pages and the pen and marker marks throughout Daniel and the jelly thumbprint on the last page. It's evidence of two things: That my children were small and that the Bible was a part of every day life!
