We look around, comparing ourselves to other moms and maybe start feeling a little inadequate.
Before I go on let me share a few verses found in Psalm 139...
"1You searched me, lord, and you know me. 2You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. 5You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain."
You may be wondering, what does that have to do with how I'm feeling or what I'm struggling with, we'll let me explain what I'm thinking....
I am thinking that God is our Father, our parent and just as we are familiar with our kids and their ways God is familiar with ours. Read those verses again.
He knows us pretty well so I'm thinking like our children ask us for help with whatever they can come up with we should be too.....you know, asking our Heavenly Father.
Rather then looking around, comparing, becoming discouraged lets not focus on what one another are doing....or not doing. Instead let's turn to our Heavenly Father for advice, wisdom, guidance. Let's place our precious children in His loving arms and let Him guide and direct us. Let Him parent us and our children through us. After all who could do a better job :)
On that note I just want to say to all you beautiful mothers out there HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I pray that God would pour out His blessing on each and everyone of you. That your days would be filled with peace joy and an abundance of love.
Xo, TinaMarie
