So, I had a bit of a meltdown situation this weekđ. I was crying, stressed, overwhelmed and discouraged about motherhood and raising godly kids. You know the mundane stuff; cleaning, cooking, correcting, diapers, dishes, and basically repeating oneself over and over about the same things everydayđ. Can anyone relate? I donât want to have these meltdowns often so I try to find the reason or lesson behind this ordeal.
There are days when I wake up and I feel as though my children had some type of supernatural encounter because they are behaving like angelsđ. They help me make breakfast, they start the coffee pot for me, they have completed their morning routine without any reminders, they are not fussing with each but actually helping each other and being extra nice (at this point I am a little suspicious đ§đ) like where are my real childrenâŚlol.
Through my struggles, I am constantly reminded by the Lord that I am being forged by fire. So, I take on life with a new attitude and a unique perspective … I welcome challenges and struggles. Yes, thatâs right! The obstacles in my life are refining me so I am writing a letter…
Dear Struggles,
Does the amount of obstacles we face determine our success?
Do we need obstacles to grow?
We all want it, wish for it; a life without obstacles.
Thereâs nothing wrong with wanting to live life without chaos, heartaches, trials, and difficulties but a life of faith, faith that moves mountains, comes at a cost.
I want our kids well-behaved, my marriage a breeze, the finances bountiful and things to come easy. I also want to live out every one of God’s promises. I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to struggle. I don’t want to feel the pressure that turns coals into diamonds.
Hi Everyone!
So, glad you stopped by! Pull up a chair, grab some coffee, get comfy and letâs chat. Are you ready? I am here to share the unscripted uncut messy details of my day and the lessons I am learning from these experiences. I donât have perfect days. Some days are a hot mess and others turn out to be much better. I donât know all the answers. I am still figuring it out. I know each day will have itâs set of challenges and triumphs and I try to embrace them both with an open heart and a positive attitude. Somedayâs I lose my Jesus a little and find him all over again in a moment of surrender and trading in my strength for HIS.
