Well, I braved it and went to school today to see some friends! I miss the excitement of a fresh start for the school year and the friendships! I must admit that I hate that the world goes on without me too! Visiting wasn't as bad as I thought. The conversation was good and everyone I ran into was so excited to see me.
That aside, I have come to the realization that I have not stopped "working". Being a full-time mom is tough business. I have had to learn how to create structure, be consistent in discipline, develop patience, endure tattling, fighting, teasing, etc... I can say that I am still not the best mom I know I could be, but with the help of Jesus "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength!" Phil 4:13 When I am in the heat of daily business and all flows well, I am so thankful to be a mom of 3 beautiful children. When things are not going how I had hoped or planned, I am anxious and tempted to be irritable. It is not the kids' fault sometimes for their actions. After all, they're just kids right? Yes! And I have to remind myself of that!
The other day, our morning started out a mess. Kids were crabby, Mom was crabby, everyone was losing it. The Lord laid it on my heart at that moment that I had not come to Him for help! So, calmly and gently I sent the kids to bed and prayed begging for God's intervention!
Guess what?..... It worked!!! It just goes to show that He will never leave us or forsake us! (Hebrews 13:5b)
Simple truths revealed everyday in the life of a regular day-to-day mom trying to figure it all out!
