Some days I just don’t want to be a mom…HONESTLY! I want to quit cause its too hard, too
demanding, too emotionally and physically draining, too much repeating myself, too
much giving. Just too much. I want
to get back in bed, pull the covers over my head and pretend I don’t hear them
screaming “MOMMY!” But you cant exactly
say to a one year old go and change your own diaper and leave me alone cause I am
tired. What am I to do when everyone is
asking me where is dinner and I want to say, “I am hungry too, why don’t you all figure it
out and let me know when you have the answer.”
Then there is the training part. I
have moments of thinking, “God how can I teach my children how to be organized
when I cant even remember where I put my cell phone.”
Its in these moments of desperation and feelings of inadequacy
that I have to be reminded of the TRUTH. God is not asking me to be mommy of the year.
He is not asking me to do this on my own.
He is asking me to surrender it all to Him. He is lovingly inviting me to trade my
weaknesses for His strength. When I do
this, He alone will get the glory from the mighty harvest that comes from me being
a godly mother. Ok. Pass me my mommy hat
and by the way we are having chicken for dinner tonight.
“…My grace is all you need. My power works best in
weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT
