For ten years now, I have held an image in my head of the kind of mother I'd like to BE.
I have failed that image so many times.
Even right now, I feel the weight of those failures. Shame.
But, I can pick out whose voice I am listening to in this moment. The Accuser sometimes sounds like a broken record, saying the same things to me, hoping that I'd believe it again.
Yes, I've tried to be SuperMom and ended up SuperMad. Hahaha.
{These vitamins are actually Super helpful, if only I could gag down the huge pills!}
The kind of mother I really, really, REALLY want to be? Is Joy-full.
Full to overflowing.
Abiding may just be one of the keys to unlock that door labeled "Joy Unspeakable Forevermore."
To Abide:
~ To remain in a place.
~ To continue to be sure or firm; endure.
~ To dwell or sojourn.
~ To remain faithful (to)
~ T
o abide by your
promise
~ To remain or continue
~ To await in expectation
The more I saturate (can you tell I like that word? I like it because I can "see" it, dripping with goodness) in Him, the more I become like Him.
When it feels, that
in me, there is no good thing? Then,
in Him, I can find all that I need.
I leave you with a free printable from
"Confessions of a Homeschooler" that I absolutely love. Of course, you can't actually READ it here on my blog, but you can go
HERE to download it for your printing pleasure. Go now!
