I feel like I've lost my ever lovin' mind! Today has been one of the craziest, hardest, most challenging and emotional days of motherhood. I will spare you the details. I'm not trying to be a downer here but I feel that it's important for me to share the good and the bad. I know the enemy is trying to bring me down because I am growing closer to the Lord and strengthening my calling as a mother. He will not win. I have been brought to my knees and find my strength in the one true God. The God who cares about my struggles. The God who loves me no matter what. The God who strengthens me in my time of weakness. The God who puts his loving arms around me and knows my pain.
"For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but One who has been tempted in all things, as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16
I will choose to see the beauty of today.
I will be thankful for the evening sunshine and warmth that kissed our skin.
I will look into these big beautiful eyes and I will praise him.
those eyes! that first picture is to die for! how precious!
Reply DeleteI love your blog, and most of all I appreciate that you so openly share your faith. And it is so true that the closer we grow to our Creator the harder the enemy will try and make our every living breathing moment. Stay strong mamma and know that you CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens you!
Reply DeleteYou're doing great, Robyn. We all have tough days, but it takes an amazing Mama to realize this and work at it.
Reply DeleteYour sweet babies are so blessed to have you.
Today will be better.
KEEP ON KEEP'N ON! YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR STRENGTH COMES FROM!
Reply DeleteAmen!
Reply Deletewow...yes, please find refuge and solace in the Lord always. He is your strength.
Reply DeleteAnd yes, your children are beautiful! great pictures. May we encourage one another always.
thanks for being honest. I don't think I could read this and identify on such a personal level and not comment...as if I didn't even see it. I think blogging is strange that way....I am sure the crisis is over now...as the nighttime has a way of re-setting with our kiddos...but keep being consistent. My mantra (besides scriptures! Eph 4:1-4 my current...) is "what does this look like @ 15 years old?" It gives me GREAT motivation to follow through and continue when I just want to sit and cry. But once and a while I do that too. Sorry about your day.
