The past five weeks have brought a huge learning curve into my life. There is so much on my heart, but I must start with just one bite at a time.
What the Lord has placed on my heart this morning to share concerns our children. I have not been the kindest mommy to my own the past 24 hours and the Lord gently reminded me that I can't do this parenting thing on my own. I can't do this parenting thing without total surrender of my rights and will and wants. I can't do this marriage thing without total surrender of my rights, my will and my wants. I can't do life without being face down on the floor, in total surrender, begging God that He be glorified through my life, in spite of me.
Oh, if we would live in constant surrender...imagine the possibilities! I don't believe we can even comprehend the blessings God would pour down if we would just get over ourselves. I have found joy and contentment when filled with the Holy Spirit, whereas there is only frustration and anxiety when I try to go through life on my own strength.
My prayer today is that the Lord would be glorified through my parenting and my marriage in spite of the wretched and selfish that soul I am.
