What are you . . .
What kind of woman are you?
What kind of wife are you?
What kind of mother are you?
We are all guilty of it from time to time . . . trying to be “Super Mom” comparing ourselves to others, over extending ourselves, putting unbelievable amounts of pressure upon our shoulders . . .
While on this journey of life I have come to realize that there is no such thing as a “Super Woman” off any kind. Instead of trying to fly, I have put my cape down & fallen to my knees & begged my Lord to help me become a Godly women! I fail daily, but He doesn’t. His grace & mercy amaze me. Life is so much better when you are living for Him & His approval rather than the worlds. There is no such thing as a “Super Woman” – it is impossible. But when we make God the center of our lives, marriages, home(school), & parenting the rest falls into place.
Several weeks back, at our Curriculum Show & Tell, I sat in a room & listened to a group of wonderful women offer some fantastic tips. Here is the list I returned home with:
- God 1st, husband next, then kids.
- Don’t compare yourself to others!
- Let your family be who God wants them to be.
- Accountability is a necessity.
- Learn Scripture. TOGETHER!
- School is NOT Life!! (This can apply not only to homeschool families, but all families.)
For so much of my life, my marriage, & my motherhood I have strived to be PERFECT – “Super Woman,” but God has tenderly (& NOT so tenderly at times) showed me that it is far more satisfying to be a Godly woman. I will never be perfect. I am sinful little thing. Seriously! But I so badly want to be the Proverbs My marriage would be such a mess without God. I am by far the perfect wife & honestly, I don’t think I like her anyway. I do however, admire a Godly wife to my very core. My poor kids. I love them so much. How did I get chosen to be their mom. WOW! I’m no super mom, but what a blessing it will be if someday they look back & say they had a Godly mom.
Oh, Lord my God, I need Your help. Through You ALL things are possible. Please mold me & to be like You. Teach me Your ways. Put the desire in my heart so that I may be a Godly daughter that brings glory to her Father.
I loose it. He shows me where it is. And WE put it back together, together.
