You know those mornings when nothing will do.. and patience goes right out the window?
The kids will not get up or dressed. Yelling at the kids as you run out the door with breakfast still in the oven. Driving the car like your behind the wheel of a race car.. pulling into the school on two wheels.
Then your left asking yourself what kind of parent am I? If I love Jesus why do I feel like I'm loosing it sometimes?
Matt 7:24-27 says that everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on rock…
This is a story of two men. One man built his house on rock and the other man built his house on sand.
They both experienced rain, full over flowing streams and winds. Yet only one stood!
The house built on sand fell. The house built on the rock stood.
God knows the desires of my heart. The bible says wherever your treasures is, there are the desires of your heart will also be.
Matthew 6:21
My treasure is in Jesus and the desires of my heart are for my children to fall in love with Jesus. For them to follow Him all the days of their lives. For the love of Jesus to be the pulse of their hearts and for them to change the world because of who Jesus is in them.
For Pat and I to always provide a stable God fearing home for them. To always be God's hands and feet. To allow God to use us in what ever way He wants to.
After reading Matthew 7:24-27. This was what God spoke to me while I sat with Him for a while.
I am imperfect! It’s ONLY because of Gods amazing grace that I’m saved and it’s because of Him I can ask for forgiveness for my imperfect behavior.
We have built our house on the ROCK! It will stand through any storm or any crappy morning.
God choose myself and Pat to be the parents of our children. He designed us for that purpose.
He choose you to be the parent of your child.
I will not allow this world or satan define me as a parent. I'm a parent deigned by a Holy God. Yes, Imperfect but forgiven.
So dry your tears, sweet mama. Today is a new day. A day when we will only be defined by God’s truth and grace as we navigate this wild wonder called parenthood.
