I had a moment last night where I started to fall apart in the shower thinking that this parenting thing is all going wrong somehow. My nose started stinging and the tears started flowing and I just felt tremendous guilt for not doing things right. Praise God, I was reminded maybe 30 seconds into this pitty party that the devil works so hard to create speed bumps in Gods plans for me and my family. He preys on my weakness and comes to steal my confidence when I am most vulnerable. You guys I felt the Holy Spirit lift me up out of it and before I knew it I was singing Gods praises and speaking truths about the kind of Mom I am, that I walk with Jesus and he is for me and has great plans for me and my family. It was such an empowering moment to just shed that nonsense right then and there and say, no. As bad as I felt, no, I am not a terrible Mom, I am a great and loving Mom and thats that. Period. No matter how bad the day is or how cluttered up the kids bedrooms and closets are or that they arent taking karate lessons or that I yelled at them and made then cry before school on Tuesday. Those things happened but the big picture is that I am a very loving and compassionate Mom despite the craziness that comes along with the day-to-day of raising kids. I came across this article tonight and it just really drove it all home for me. I hope my sharing this along with the blog will give you some freedom too! We were created for our children and they for us! Its literally a match made in heaven, period. findingjoy.net/motherhood-days-we-dont-talk-about/
